Abstract:

The acquisition of Mandarin Chinese, one of the most important and widely
spoken languages in the world today, is the focus of this innovative study. It
describes the rise of Chinese as a global language and the many challenges and
opportunities associated with learning it. The collaborative, multiple-case
study and cross-case analysis is presented from three distinct but
complementary theoretical and analytic perspectives: linguistic,
sociocultural, and narrative. The book reveals fascinating dimensions of
Chinese language learning based on vivid first-person accounts (with
autobiographical narratives included in the book) of adults negotiating not
only their own and others' language and literacy learning, but also their
identities, communities, and trajectories as users  of Chinese.
