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 semistructured interviews, and compares these reflections with written stimulus dialogues designed to elicit cultureinlanguage reflections, as well as curriculum and policy documents produced by the Australian government. The books 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&nbsplanguage teacher intercultural competence cannot be assessed through a synthesis of the current Englishonly 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.&nbsp
