Abstract:

Calls for increased attention to subject-specific histories have been somewhat insistent in the last two decades. An important emphasis in these calls has been for attention to the history of the 'preactive curriculum' as represented, for example, in Syllabus documents. English has been a particular case in these arguments- a case which often revolves around defining the subject itself. Others have argued further that subject-specific history is usually centred in detailed local, historical studies of the recent past.

Abstract:

In Wales the histories of book production and industry started following the sixteenth century Acts of Union. In 1586 print production in Wales was a collateral victim of the Star Chamber ban on regional printing. When the printing press finally arrived in Wales in the eighteenth century it was closely associated with the iron trade. The Industrial Revolution started in Wales in 1759 on the underdeveloped northern rim of the South Wales coalfield basin. The iron industry had two phases of development; when the second phase started in the 1780s South Wales was the largest iron producing region

Methods of teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language have often incorporated the methods adopted in teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language. (Xing, 2016; Zhou, 2014; Jiao, 2018).
