Reciprocal Learning Between Canada and China in Language and Culture Education

This book engages Canadian and Chinese language educators, graduate students, pre-service teachers, school principals and teachers in an enhanced reciprocal learning process by collaboratively reflecting on and writing up the school-based language curriculum projects and school-based language teachers' professional development activities in Canada-China sister schools. The objective is to develop a knowledge base for generating positive, reciprocal, practitioner knowledge and methods to improve language teaching effectiveness in either context. In this way, it contributes to a public discussion of the reciprocal educational impacts on the knowledge-based society in Canada and China.
