title = "Fieldwork, reciprocal learning, and growth mindset: sustained by Indigenous Spirit and 'Great Learning'",
abstract = "In this commentary chapter, I elaborate on the impact of the outcomes of the reciprocal learning projects and programs between Canada and China, and suggest insights for the next phase of the West-East reciprocal learning endeavours. Specifically, I comment on the significance of the ongoing “fieldwork” that has been one of the essential components of the endeavour and practice aligned with the paradigm shift in the linguistic and cultural landscapes worldwide, particularly in relation to global English language education; I also comment on West-East reciprocal learning as a sustainable and collaborative practice among learners, teachers, teacher educators and various shareholders. In addition, I comment on the growth mindset of the participants and chapter contributors, and their personal growth reflections. Towards the end of the commentary chapter, I reference Confucius{\textquoteright} “Great Learning” and make suggestions for future endeavours associated with West-East reciprocal learning.",
