Abstract:

Bilingual and bicultural scholar Yeng-Seng Goh offers the first in-depth
English language analysis of global Chinese, exploring the spread of Chinese
beyond China and its emergence as a global language. Approaching the topic
from a Singapore perspective, Goh uses this fascinating language ecosystem,
with its unique bilingual language policy, as a case study for Chinese
language learning. Offering clear insights into the pedagogy of teaching
Chinese as an international language (TCIL), this book covers a range of
important topics, such as the use of English in the teaching of Chinese, the
teaching of Chinese by non-native teachers, information and communications
technology in L2 learning and teaching, and the progressive testing of
receptive skills. In doing so, it presents a new, integrative approach to the
compilation of Chinese learner's dictionaries, an innovative bilingual hybrid
model for training TCIL teachers, and a solid theoretical framework for
Masters of Arts programmes in TCIL.

1. The spread of Chinese as a global language; 2. Mandarin Chinese as spoken
in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore: a comparison; 3. Hard

learner's dictionaries: an integrative approach; 12. The bilingual hybrid
