With Professor Yang Jianguo being the editor-in-chief, My Overseas Chinese Teaching Experience is authored by 22 professional international Chinese teachers who narrate anecdotes and personal feelings during their posting and teaching overseas in a reminiscent way, showing the characteristics and learning habits of Chinese learners in different countries, and also introducing numerous novel and effective strategies for teaching Chinese internationally. In addition, readers can not only observe the cultures of nearly twenty countries around the world, such as Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Pakistan, understand the differences between Chinese and foreign languages and cultures, and learn and improve their international Chinese teaching skills, but also get to know and reflect on themselves from “other’s” perspective, thus generating new insights and new thoughts. The language of this book is relaxing and witty, simple and understandable.
