Teaching and Researching Chinese Second Language Listening

"Wei Cai has succeeded admirably in synthesizing research on Chinese L2 listening in relation to literature on general L2 listening with an eye towards a systemic teaching approach to Chinese listening. For Chinese L2 researchers, teachers, and students, this volume not only provides a comprehensive and highly accessible view of the processes involved in listening development in general and Chinese L2 listening in particular but also evidence-based pedagogical approaches and techniques."

Chuanren Ke, Professor of Chinese and Second Language Acquisition, University of Iowa, USA

"As the first book ever on the theory and pedagogy of L2 Chinese listening, Teaching and Researching Chinese Second Language Listening is a significant contribution to SLA and applied linguistics. It marks a new level on L2 listening research and is a 'must read' to scholars in this area."

Professor Yang Zhao, School of Chinese as a Second Language, Peking University
