They were developed by the Chinese State through the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office (OCAO) and the Chinese Embassy in Argentina, as part of their trans-state language policies.

In this research, I focus on the analysis of these textbooks, which will shed light, on the one hand, on the ideologies regarding language and language learners and, on the other hand, on how these teaching materials seek to shape a homogeneous “model of overseas Chinese migrant”, thus erasing the differences with migrants of Chinese origin living in other parts of the world. application/pdf http://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/8042 eng Universidad de Buenos Aires.
