This book reports the results of an ethnographic study, focusing primarily on the experiences of four teachers of the Chinese language in Australian secondary schools. The author creates an audience for their voices as they reflect on their own understandings of culture, language teaching, and culture in language teaching through semi-structured interviews, and compares these reflections with written stimulus dialogues designed to elicit 'culture-in-language' reflections, as well as curriculum and policy documents produced by the Australian government. The book's findings indicate that teachers of the Chinese language are diverse in their views on culture, language teaching, and the ways in which culture can or should inform language teaching, and the author argues that language teacher intercultural competence cannot be assessed through a synthesis of the current English-only research literature. This book will be of interest to teachers and teacher trainers of Chinese as a foreign language, as well as students and scholars of applied linguistics and language education more broadly.

Are Your Ready to Quit Your Job and Make a Living As An Author?I was offered my first book deal before the age of 30. I was over the moon! I had a literary agent, and one of the top publishers in the country; when the book was published, there were even mega-production studios calling my agent to inquire about the rights.It’s what every author dreams of, right?!Kind of. Sort of. No!It used to be. But that was several years ago. That was before the birth of the first real game-changer since Gutenberg's press: the Amazon Kindle.The Kindle itself didn’t rock the industry to its core - rather, it was the self-publishing platform that came with it: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)Authors could always self-publish, but prior to KDP, it was something you did when no publisher would take a chance on you. After KDP, authors were proving that for the price of $0, you could have your book published not only electronically, but in print as well. In a very short time, authors started using KDP and becoming millionaires!I started using KDP (as well as other publishing distribution channels) way back when it first opened its doors, and I haven’t looked back. I’ve launched several imprints and have sold over 2,000,000 books. In this book, I’ll show you how I, and other authors, have done it.A word of caution: this isn’t a how-to publish a book on KDP; if you need a step-by-step on how to navigate through the KDP dashboard, then there are other books that cover that (but seriously, publishing through KDP is ridiculously easy!). This book is to help you launch your book and attract more readers.

Jump Start Your Career As a Children's Writer!Many years ago, I had the idea for my first picture book. I sat on in for years for one reason and one reason only: I couldn't draw. Like at all! Even my stick figures looked terrible!I hoped one day to be connected with an illustrator who couldn't write, but one day I decided to stop waiting and start doing! I got proactive and started looking for an illustrator. And it wasn't as much as I anticipated. I realized that this was something that really could be done on a budget!This book is twofold: One, it's for writers like me who need to know how to find an illustrator on a budget Two, it's for children's writers who are hoping to one day make a living doing this.Let's be clear: This is not an easy career; nor is one you will get rich quick at. But if you are ready for some hard work, then read on!Note: this book is based of "The Six Figure Writer"; it has an expanded section covering Children's Authorship.
