This annotated bibliography represents our first effort in compiling a comprehensive resource bank of publications written in English about Chinese ELT contexts and CHinese EFL/ESL learners. We hope this bibilography will not only help researchers locate relevant resources, but also serve as a map, pointing possible directions for an ew research agenda.
We have used the following three-level criteria in the selection of publications. The first-level criteria are absolute musts. In other words, all the publications to be included in this bibilography must satisfy these criteria. In addition, they should also satisfy a majority of the second-and third-level criteria. Needless to say, priority ahs been given to publications that meet all the criteria.
