Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book presents a nuanced look at the relationship between language learning styles and culture to illuminate how these important constructs are understood, employed, and play out in the real world. Through the lens of different learning style dimensions-cognitive, affective, process-centred, environment-centred, and cultural-Li unpacks and examines the commonly accepted tensions between learning styles, culture, teacher assumptions, and teaching approaches. With a focus on Asian learning styles and Chinese learners, Li addresses the past and current debates, and reconceptualizes the roles and tensions between students' learning, students' cultural backgrounds and teaching styles. Li adeptly navigates this controversial arena to demystify preconceptions and provide avenues for innovative and effective classroom practices in language teaching. Ideal for preservice ESL/EFL teachers, researchers and scholars, this book bridges the gap between research and practice on culture and language learning in the classroom"--
