At heart a go-and-return story, Lau reflects on the difficulties of adjusting to the different practices of teaching and learning in two places with their own distinctive cultures. Ever more prescient now amid the current social and political upheavals in Hong Kong and around the world, the book considers the profound impacts such transitions have on families. By delving into the challenges of living, working, and learning across cultures, he reflects upon the deep-rooted values in both family and school landscapes to gain new insights about educational and cultural practices in Hong Kong and Toronto.Intercultural Reciprocal Learning in Chinese and Western Education,2946-4188International educationComparative educationEducational sociologyEducationPhilosophyEducationResearchInternational and Comparative EducationSociology of EducationEducational PhilosophyEducational ResearchInternational education.Comparative education.Educational sociology.EducationPhilosophy.EducationResearch.International and Comparative Education.Sociology of Education.Educational Philosophy.Educational Research.306.430951306.43095125Lau Chun-Kwok848233MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910495176503321Life and Learning Between Hong Kong and Toronto1967424UNINA
