<p><em>Transforming Hanzi Pedagogy in the Digital Age </em>电写时代的汉字教学 brings together expert researchers and practitioners to offer a coherent theoretical empirical pedagogical and experiential justification for a shift in pedagogical focus from handwriting to e-writing in L2 Chinese pedagogy.</p><p>This volume argues for a pedagogy based on the 21st century communicative needs of L2 Chinese users grounded in empirical research as well as practical and lived experiences. The authors propose an “e-writing as primary” (电写为主，手写为辅) framework for L2 Chinese instruction in the 21st century a transformational proposal which will fundamentally shift the pedagogical focus of L2 Chinese instruction globally towards more learner-centered research-informed practice. This volume includes three theoretical foundation chapters four empirical studies three descriptions of program-level implementation and ten expert L2 Chinese user vignettes which taken together offer a thorough introduction to e-writing for the future of L2 Chinese teaching and learning.</p><p>This book will be informative for Chinese language instructors researchers program directors materials developers and advanced graduate students in both CFL and CSL contexts worldwide.</p>
