Why is this book needed?

Chinese as a Second/Foreign Language Research (CSLR) is a relatively new field of inquiry. There has been much research done in the field from a pedagogical perspective but much less from a linguistic perspective. CSLR needs a firm theoretical grounding that can help further research in and development of Chinese language teaching methodology. Consequently, there is a need for an authoritative book that covers the main issues in the field not only by summarizing what has already been achieved but also by proposing new perspectives and new lines of research. However, there may not be one author, or two authors who can write a book like this at this time because we do not seem to have experts in Chinese as a Second Language Research yet who could cover the whole field. The field of CSLR is still developing. So, internationally recognized scholars from all over the world were invited to work on this book as a team. As we want the book to serve not only a reference book but also a possible textbook for graduate students, we need a variety of perspectives from which the research topics are covered.
