Summary:
"This book explores how Chinese language education can be reimagined within the multilingual realities of contemporary Europe. Drawing on sociocultural theory, plurilingual education, heritage language research and recent developments in language pedagogy, it examines the role of peer interaction, inclusion and affective engagement in Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) classrooms. The volume challenges deficit-oriented and native-speaker-centred perspectives, proposing a relational approach to language learning based on mediation, distributed expertise and collaborative meaning-making. Combining theoretical reflection and pedagogical implications, it offers a new framework for inclusive Chinese language education in multilingual settings"-- Springer Nature Link
