Why is it important?
First, this is earlier effort to summarize, characterize and evaluate common methods employed in discussion activities in the field of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign/Second Language in the United States. Second, the case study is typical, exemplary and convincing. Third, it could lead to further interests in this topic from more practitioners and researchers.
Perspectives
