The goal of the project is to produce an authoritative book that covers the research achievements of the field of Chinese as a Second/Foreign Language from a linguistics perspective that can help and promote further research in the field and advance the development of Chinese language teaching methodology. The book will serve not only as a reference book but also as a possible textbook for MA and PhD programs in Chinese as a Second/Foreign Language at universities all over the world. A unique feature of the book is that chapters are written by internationally recognized scholars from all over the world. In most chapters a Chinese and a non-Chinese scholar are paired to produce the text, which helps to give a board research perspective to every topic addressed in the book.
