Product details
Biographical note
Jun Liu is Professor in the Department of English at the University of Arizona, USA. He is the President of TESOL and Executive Director of the English Language Center, Shantou University, China."The strength of the book for the non-Chinese reader lies in its cultural insights and in the insight offered into current issues in ELT in China, rather than in suggestions for how to teach English to Chinese students outside the PRC. The range of writers included is impressive and the book contains useful end-of-chapter references. Clear chapter outlines, large page numbers and a clear index add to the book's navigability, making it a useful reference for anyone interested in the area." -- The Asian Learner Vol 4, No. 1

"...this volume presents a number of well-known writers, and also some who bring new insights to the applied linguistics/language acquisition field...the book is interesting and timely...the question of how English is taught in China is not one we can overlook. This book contributes to our current understanding, and hopefully will serve to stimulate further research in this highly dynamic area of English teaching and learning." TESOLANZ Newsletter, July 2009
