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

Providing a window on educational leadership from an Asian cultural
perspective, Liu and Thien’s edited collection describes how
educational leadership is linked with national culture in the
context of different Asian countries. While much of the scholarship
on this topic has been built on Western paradigms, this book
examines the measurement of school leadership from a diverse lens
by taking cultural context into account while examining educational
leadership. Drawing on cross-cultural perspectives, the authors
investigate the relationship between leadership for learning and
societal culture, in addition to the relationship between
leadership style and culture. The text provides a theoretical basis
for understanding leadership in the context of Asian countries, and
offers practical suggestions for identifying effective, and
culturally sensitive leadership practices in similar cultural
contexts. An excellent resource for graduate students, researchers
in comparative education, educational practitioners looking to
improve their education practices, and anyone interested in
cultural leadership practices.
This is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of the
history, and development of sport from the ancient to the
contemporary era in China. It addresses the gap between the vibrant
academic scholarship within China and the limited understanding of
Chinese sport outside of the country. It opens different
perspectives on Chinese sport and addresses a wide range of issues
central to the development of sport in the context of Chinese
culture, politics, economy and society. It explores a diverse set
of topics including the history of Chinese traditional sport, the
rise of modern sport and the Olympic movement, sport and
nationhood, sport and politics and international relations, sport
and physical education, sport and economy and commerce, sport and
social stratification and diversity, and sport leisure and tourism.
It offers critical insights into the multifaceted world of Chinese
past and present-a contribution to our collective knowledge and
understanding of Chinese sport and society-useful reading for
students, researchers and professionals with an interest in the
field of China and Chinese sport. This Handbook has been
contributed to by a team consisting of 88 leading Chinese and Asian
experts and scholars with varied backgrounds of studying and
working in European, North American, and Australian universities,
as well as Western scholars with expertise of China and its sports
system and practice. It is composed of ten parts classified by
different subjects. It provides a wide lens through which to better
contextualise the relationships between China and the world within
the global sport community. The Routledge Handbook of Sport in
China is a vital resource for students and scholars studying the
history, politics, sociology, culture and policy of sport in China,
as well as sport management, sport history, sport sociology, and
sport policy and politics. It is also valuable reading for those
who are working in international sport policy making and sport
organisations.
In fifty lessons, the authors examine both structural patterns and
morphological features characteristic of Mandarin Chinese. The book
describes cultural idiosyncrasies in language use as well as gives
discoursal strategies for forming sustained conversations.
This book addresses a special topic in the field of nonlinear
dynamical systems, develops a new research direction of surface
chaos and surface bifurcation. It provides a clear watershed for
original nonlinear chaos and bifurcation research. The novel
content of this book makes nonlinear system research more
systematical and personalized. This book introduces the chaos and
bifurcation behavior of surface dynamics in the sense of Li Yorke,
the basic properties, Lyapunov exponent and Feigenbaum constant of
nonlinear behavior of surface, and obtained the wave behavior of
chaotic process in surface motion, the control of surface chaos and
bifurcation, and the wide application of surface chaos in
engineering technology. Through this book, readers can obtain more
abundant and novel contents about surface chaos and surface
bifurcation than the existing mixed fitting bifurcation of plane
curve and space curve, which can also expand the realm and vision
of research.
This is the first book in English that adopts a critical
socio-historical perspective to examine the important themes and
challenges of Asian indigenous culture and sport. Written by
leading sport historians and scholars, the chapters in the book
contain real-life case studies and comparative studies in Asian
sport. The book examines the history, contemporary governance and
management, gender, and ethnic issues embedded in folk sports and
physical culture, and the challenges faced by Asian indigenous
sports and their evolution. Based on cutting-edge research from
China, Japan, Korea, Israel and beyond, this book will be a
valuable addition to any course in sport history, sport culture,
sport development and sport sociology. It will stimulate those who
are seeking ways to promote and develop indigenous sports, from
intangible cultural heritage protection to global sport
partnership. It will also be of interest to students, researchers,
and practitioners, who wish to understand the changing face of
Asian society and Asian indigenous sport. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of The International
Journal of the History of Sport.

The history of China's National Games reflects both the
transformation of elite sport in China and wider Chinese society.
This is the first book to describe the origins and development of
the National Games through their dynamic relationship with Chinese
politics, nationalism and identity in the modern era. Looking
specifically at the role of the National Games in China's changing
social, political and economic circumstances from 1910 to 2009,
this book uncovers how the National Games reflected the shifts in
state-led nationalist ideologies within three historical eras: the
late Qing Dynasty and Republican China (1910-1948), the early
People's Republic of China (1959-1979) and the People's Republic of
China in the post-1980s (1983-2009). It also examines how the
National Games were reformed to serve China's Olympic Strategy in
the context of globalization and commercialization from the 1980s
onwards. Full of original insights into archive material, each
chapter sheds new light on the social, cultural and political
significance of this sporting mega-event in the shaping of modern
China. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in
the politics, history and culture of China.

This book offers an insightful description of the productive
behavior of four-character schematic idiomatic expressions (SIEs)
in Mandarin and explores from a usage-based perspective the issue
of how young learners acquire the partial productivity of these
expressions. The beginning chapters contribute to a constructional
understanding of the quadri-syllabic SIEs and an in-depth
distributional analysis of three typical schematic patterns based
on natural corpus data. The following chapters present detailed
reports on four experimental studies to account for the factors
that play significant roles in the learning process of SIEs from
adolescence to adulthood. In the final chapter, the author
concludes that acquisition of SIEs is as an interactive process
shaped by input frequency, structural complexity, internal semantic
relation, and chunking effect of open morphemes at different age
levels. These findings enrich current understandings on
constructional idioms and the emergentist model in idiom learning
with a cross-linguistic focus on Mandarin unique quadri-syllabic
SIEs. Language teachers, researchers, and postgraduate students who
are interested in studies of idiomaticity. Construction grammar and
usage-based learning model will find this book sufficiently
informative and intriguing.
This book discusses the core principles and practical applications
of a brand new machine category: liquid-metal soft machines and
motors. After a brief introduction on the conventional soft robot
and its allied materials, it presents the new conceptual
liquid-metal machine, which revolutionizes existing rigid robots,
both large and small. It outlines the typical features of the soft
liquid-metal materials and describes the various transformation
capabilities, mergence of separate metal droplets, self-rotation
and planar locomotion of liquid-metal objects under external or
internal mechanism. Further, it introduces a series of unusual
phenomena discovered while developing the shape changeable smart
soft machine and interprets the related mechanisms regarding the
effects of the shape, size, voltage, orientation and geometries of
the external fields to control the liquid-metal transformers.
Moreover, the book illustrates typical strategies to construct a
group of different advanced functional liquid-metal soft machines,
since such machines or robots are hard to fabricate using
rigid-metal or conventional materials. With highly significant
fundamental and practical findings, this book is intended for
researchers interested in establishing a general method for making
future smart soft machine and accompanying robots.
