The book is a remarkable resource which represents a comprehensive account of issues in the acquisition, use, teaching, and development of Chinese as a second language. ... the book serves as a valuable resource, not only for second language researchers, especially those of CSL, but also for teachers, educators, and curriculum developers looking to learn and understand more about second language theories and methods for practically applying them in the field of Chinese as a second language. (Zhiqi Gong, Chinese Language and Discourse, Vol. 8 (2), 2017)
