Based on an investigation and review of the development of international Chinese teaching institutions and international Chinese teachers from 1912 to 1949, this book conducts a detailed and in-depth comparative analysis of 14 international Chinese textbooks compiled by Chinese and foreign scholars, such as Guide to Mandarin, Fifty Ten-Minute Chinese Lessons, and Conversational Chinese, from the aspects of text selection, phonetic notation and punctuation, vocabulary and grammar items, exercise design, and teaching methods. It explores and summarizes the academic elements and academic genealogies that are implicit in the textbooks and reflect the modern evolution of international Chinese education.
