What people are saying

Praise for this book

Employing various ethnographic methods as well as conducting high-quality discourse analysis, Zhang-Wu offers important and indispensable ways to really engage and teach Chinese students from their own perspectives. For those of us interested in diverse languaging practices, educational equity for international students and progressive pedagogies for English language users from various linguistic backgrounds, this book is very necessary.
Through a vigorous study of Chinese undergraduate students' translingual lives in the United States, author Zhang-Wu debunks five assumptions held by administrators about these students' academic preparedness. Her study helps raise critical issues of social justice for international students, contributing to discussions on monolingualism and racism in American higher education.
