• Introduction; Part I: Teaching English Around the Globe; Part II: Learning and Assessing Communicative Competence; Part III: Contextualizing Communicative Competence in P.R.China.

"The strength of the book for the non-Chinese reader lies in its cultural insights and in the insight offered into current issues in ELT in China, rather than in suggestions for how to teach English to Chinese students outside the PRC. The range of writers included is impressive and the book contains useful end-of-chapter references. Clear chapter outlines, large page numbers and a clear index add to the book's navigability, making it a useful reference for anyone interested in the area." -- The Asian Learner Vol 4, No. 1
