The book "Chinese Language in Nigeria: Teaching and Learning" is a product of my doctorate degree research at Xiamen University in 2013. Chinese language in Nigeria is about a decade with the establishment of the first Confucius Institute at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, in 2008 and the second Confucius Institute at University of Lagos in 2009. Since then, there is no academic work on the Chinese language study in Nigeria, hence this work is a first attempt. The research was carried out between 2011 and 2012. Therefore, there is need for further research on the Chinese language teaching and learning in Nigeria.

Dr.Sunny Ifeanyi Odinye has BA and MA in Linguistics (Nigeria) in 2002 and 2009 respectively and PGD and PhD in Chinese language (China) in 2007 and 2013 respectively. He was the deputy director of Confucius Institute. He is a senior lecturer in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria. He is happily married with children. He has many published articles.
