Teaching Writing in Chinese Speaking Areas

"Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore have each developed their own approach to the teaching of composition. Teaching Writing in Chinese Speaking Areas aims to provide an accurate picture of the diverse composition teaching contexts and approaches in these four regions and countries. This is the first book that systematically introduces recent developments in teaching composition in Chinese-speaking areas. It outlines current theories and paradigms originating both in the West and in China and Chinese-speaking territories and the way in which these have been adapted to suit the various cultural contexts and learning environments. The overview is of relevance not only to the East, but throughout the world."--BOOK JACKET.Shum, Mark Shiu Kee is the author of 'Teaching Writing in Chinese Speaking Areas', published 2005 under ISBN 9780387263922 and ISBN 0387263926.
