Acknowledgments
The book is widely based on my Ph.D. thesis, which I completed at the University of Auckland under my two wonderful supervisors: Prof. Lawrence Jun Zhang and Dr. Susan M. Gray. I would not be able to finish my Ph.D. project without their professional guidance and intellectual support.

The book also draws on three articles that I published. One is “Development and Validation of the Speaking Strategy Inventory for Learners of Chinese (SSILC) as a Second/Foreign Language” in Asia-Pacific Education Researcher. Another is “Profiling Perceptual Learning Styles of Chinese as a Second Language Learners in University Settings” in Journal of Psycholinguistic Research.
