“Unlike many East-West partnerships that prioritize acquisition of skills to enable young people to work across cultural divides, this book explores efforts by Canadian and Chinese educators to enhance intercultural competence for their people in a way that is mutually beneficial to both nations. This well-written and timely book is unique in that the contributing authors are involved in the Canada-China Reciprocal Learning Partnership project and write from their experience. It is an important contribution to understanding and strengthening the Reciprocal Learning Partnership between Canada and China.” (James Oloo, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Windsor, Canada)
“This book brilliantly explores and promotes cross-cultural understanding and reciprocal learning between the East and West (China and Canada), breaking down stereotypes and building bridges of mutual respect and trust. This inspiring work offers valuable insights, transforming our perception of education and preservice teachers’ fieldwork in cross-cultural contexts, and generating new cultural lenses that enhance global competence and intercultural dialogues in English language teaching and learning.” (Yali Zhao, International Virtual Exchange Faculty Associate and Associate Professor of Social Studies at Georgia State University, USA)
“This book series is a great guide about how to build educational knowledge and understanding from a cross-cultural perspective, originating in language education but in the end it achieved a great transcendence. Many vivid cases in the book undoubtedly provide teachers, students, and parents with a reference that both expands cognition, maintains value, and has methodological significance. In fact, I think the authors, after conducting a lot of observation, interview and reflection, seem to have found a new way of reading the world of education, which may not be as efficient as AI, but is full of human passion and wisdom, and makes people feel peaceful and hopeful.” (Shuhan Yang, Assistant Dean of Faculty of Education at Yunnan Normal University, China)
