It demonstrates that, in spite of policy and educational discourses underpinning 'Asian literacies', Chinese teaching and learning is a fragile undertaking in Australian schooling. The politicisation of CFL education, especially in the post COVID-19 era, has exacerbated public stereotypes concerning racism and multiculturalism in Australia today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing upon Bernstein's theorisation and engagement framework, Wen Xu sketches out CFL education as a democratic space where power and control relations can be deliberately operated to reinforce engaging learning experiences. She suggests that pedagogic interventions in the name of social justice have the potential to make consequential differences in disadvantaged students' life trajectories, and CFL education can be envisioned as an avenue towards socioeconomic mobility instead of being criticised as a platform opposing to liberal ideas. In turn, she provides insights into teaching younger age CFL learners in the global context, in terms of the structuring of pedagogy and curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWen Xu's research will be of interest to students and scholars in sociology of education, student engagement, pedagogy and curriculum, CFL education and languages education, as well as pre-service teachers and practitioners who teach Chinese as a Foreign Language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wen Xu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103215585X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032155852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Wen Xu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066892939519,"sku":"9781032155852","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_294cdd28-2e61-49a5-a065-bf4ebe59bc4d.jpg?v=1685409953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pedagogic-practices-student-engagement-and-wen-xu-9781032155852","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
