The book focuses on the most difficult aspect of learning/teaching
Chinese as an additional language-literacy acquisition.
Theoretically, this book provides frameworks and evidence from both
cognitive and sociocultural perspectives on the nature of CAL
reading development. Pedagogically, the book showcases how to teach
and assess CAL reading skills. Methodologically, this book includes
empirical studies using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
Geographically, the authors/contributors are from different parts
of the world: North America, Europe and Asia. Their
participants/subjects/students in these studies have diverse
backgrounds. In terms of scope, the book covers a much broader
spectrum of issues about CAL reading research and classroom
teaching than has previously been available. Writing is also
discussed in the book. In terms of technology, the book includes
discussion on how the use of computers, the Internet and social
media impacts students' Chinese literacy acquisition. The book also
presents some findings on how to use technology to teach different
subskills of CAL reading.

This book brings together 13 original research papers that address
emerging issues in the assessment of Chinese as a Second Language
(CSL) in five major areas, including standards in CSL assessment;
development of CSL tests; assessment of diverse knowledge and
skills; computer-supported assessment; and CSL assessment in
relation to instruction and teachers' assessment competence. It
goes beyond the psychometric testing of Chinese and provides
cutting-edge examinations of the interfaces of assessment with
sociology of language, acquisition, pedagogy, and modern
technologies, as well as teacher education. Given its unique
features and broad range of topics, the book offers an intriguing
and valuable resource, not only for scholars and researchers but
also teacher educators and assessment practitioners who are
directly or indirectly involved in CSL assessment.

This Element aims to address the complexity of metalinguistic
awareness to achieve a thorough account of its impacts on second
language (L2) reading development and promote an in-depth
understanding of the factors regulating the influence of first
language (L1) metalinguistic awareness on L2 reading. It is guided
by four questions: 1) To what extent do L1 phonological,
orthographic, and morphological awareness correlate with L2
phonological, orthographic, and morphological awareness in L2
readers? 2) To what extent do phonological, orthographic, and
morphological awareness correlate with word decoding intralingually
in L2 readers? 3) To what extent do L1 phonological, orthographic,
and morphological awareness correlate with L2 word decoding in L2
readers? 4) To what extent do the relations in questions 1-3 vary
as a function of linguistic-, learner-, measurement-, and
instruction-related factors? This Element is the first to
systematically investigate the roles of distinct facets of
metalinguistic awareness in L2 reading.
The growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has
changed the dynamics of education, as self-directed learning,
especially on mobile devices, is as accessible as ever. Despite the
near infinite amount of information available for students outside
of school, the classroom remains the most critical aspect of
student's growth. Teachers now play crucial roles in engaging ICT's
full potential to create an environment of meaningful learning to
develop students' critical thinking skills. Preparing Foreign
Language Teachers for Next-Generation Education concerns itself
with the integration and study of new technologies in
foreign-language education. Featuring theoretical and empirical
chapters related to the confluence of teacher-education, teacher
cognition, and innovative technologies, it provides engaging
insight into foreign-language teachers' perceptions and the
influence of those perceptions. This publication is quintessential
to foreign-language teachers, administrators, policy makers,
students of education, programmers, and developers.
