Editorial Reviews
Review
This book is packed with ideas to enable the reader to review and reflect upon teaching and learning from a range of perspectives. Designed primarily as a text for beginning teachers, it highlights major thinking which can inform educational practice. The book pays welcome attention to the needs of Chinese learners and the social context in which young Chinese learners develop. — Janet Draper, Hong Kong Baptist University
