This book addresses the problems and issues surrounding teaching
Chinese as a second language in the Singapore context. It
identifies four main areas of concern: (1) Neglect of culture in
the teaching of Chinese; (2) Difficulty of learning Hanzi (Chinese
characters); (3) Cognitive and affective aspects of Chinese
language learning; and (4) Authenticity of the Chinese language in
a global and Singapore context. The book includes lesson design and
instructional practices for re-prioritizing Chinese as a set of
trainable skills, as well as teaching culture in the context of
teaching the language. It also introduces the Chinese as a Second
Language Readability Formula to help learners overcome their
difficulties with learning Hanzi (Chinese characters), and the
Attitude Toward Chinese Language Scale to help understand the
various factors that can influence Chinese language learning. It
also proposes a student-oriented model for conducting problem-based
research, tapping into the disciplines of psycholinguistics and
sociolinguistics. Resolving or minimizing the issues identified
here requires action at the macro level by Chinese language
researchers on a national scale, and at the micro level by
classroom teachers through action research.
