Features: The "First International Conference on Chinese Language Teaching and Acquisition" was held in Guangzhou, China, from December 26 to 27, 2004, organized by the College of International Exchange at Sun Yat-sen University. The conference was attended by 82 experts, scholars, teachers, and graduate students from 6 countries, with 75 papers submitted. This collection includes 40 of these papers. Twelve scholars from the United States participated in the academic lecture and discussion session of the "New World Chinese Language Teaching—Interaction and Complementation Between China and the World" conference, organized by the National Association, co-hosted by Beijing Language and Culture University and Nankai University, before this conference. Most of their papers were selected for that conference's proceedings. Some papers presented at this conference have been or will be published in journals and are therefore not included in this collection. Some participants later submitted papers for inclusion in this collection, but the titles of these papers differ from the titles of the conference papers.
