Over the last decade, there has been a surge of interest in learning Chinese as a foreign language. Chinese language has changed from a less commonly taught to one of the most commonly taught languages in the U.S.

Studies on Learning and Teaching Chinese as a Second Language represents the current advances in the field. It showcases theoretically motivated empirical studies and diverse methods used for a better understanding of how Chinese language is acquired as a second or foreign language. This contributes to L2 acquisition research in general and L2 Chinese specifically. Furthermore, this research is useful for teachers seeking to understand their students’ learning processes and adjust their pedagogical approach for more effective instruction. The book bridges the gap between research and instruction by providing pedagogical implications rooted in empirical findings.

Xiaohong Wen is Professor of Applied Linguistics and Director of Chinese Studies at the University of Houston. Her research interests include L2 motivation, L2 Chinese acquisition, and interlanguage pragmatics. Recent publications include three academic books and over thirty articles in refereed journals. She has been the principal investigator for several major federal and internal grants. Xin Jiang is Professor at Beijing Language and Culture University. She specializes in the cognitive processing and acquisition of Chinese as a second language, focusing on the psycholinguistic factors influencing L2 Chinese lexical processing and text comprehension. She has published two academic books (Research on L2 Acquisition of Chinese Characters, Words, and Reading; The Psychological Studies of Learning and Teaching Chinese as a Second Language) and over thirty journal articles.
