Conference & Paper

2016 Harvard University 2nd International Conference on Chinese Pedagogy -- March 10, 2016

2016年第二届哈佛大学国际中文教学研讨会
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The 2nd Harvard International Conference on Chinese Pedagogy (Harvard ICCP) will be held on September 23-24, 2016 at Harvard University. The theme of the conference will be: Innovating Traditions. Surging interest in the dual-language immersion method, the widespread popularity of MOOCs, the emergence of practical language-learning software and apps, the establishment of various linguistic databases—all of these developments have a significant impact on all the different components of Chinese language pedagogy. The conference will thus focus on how we can continually reform, innovate, and incorporate new strategies and resources on the solid foundations of existing pedagogy.
For this session of the ICCP, in addition to talks from our guest speakers, we welcome proposals for empirical research-based presentations across a wide array of sub-fields. The conference aims to include, but is not limited to, the following areas:

History of TCFL （对外汉语历史回顾）
Comparative National Approaches to TCFL （对外汉语国别化比较研究）
Second Language Acquisition （二语习得理论与实践）
Curriculum and Instruction （课程与教学论）
Online and App-assisted Learning （网络与多媒体辅助教学）
Literacy and Communication （对外汉语教学中的听说读写）
Corpus and Learner Errors （语料库与语用偏误）
Integration of Language and Content （内容本位语言教学）
Teacher Development （师资培训与职业发展）
Language Testing and Assessment （语言教学评估测试）

All who wish to present at the conference must submit the attached reply form as a word document (abstract no more than 350 words) to [email protected] no later than March 15. If accepted, we ask that you submit the final draft of your paper, along with the slides used for your 15-minute talk, by August 31. Your abstract may be in either English or Chinese. Accepted individual proposals will be grouped into panels according to theme.

The Conference will take place over the course of two days. Friday the 23rd (12:30 pm - 6:00 pm) will be devoted to pedagogy workshops geared towards pre-college and college-level teachers of Chinese who are interested in learning more about Harvard’s own Chinese language pedagogy. Saturday the 24th (8:00 am - 8:00 pm) will be devoted to talks from individual scholars and discussion among all participants.
For participants whose proposals are selected to be presented at the conference, we are pleased to offer free admittance to the workshop and conference, and dinner with other speakers on the 24th. Lunch on the 24th will be provided free of charge for all participants. Due to limited funding, we are not able to cover the cost of travel or lodging. But we hope you will be able to secure additional funding from your home institution.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us by email at [email protected].

Second Language Research Forum (SLRF) -- Feb. 7, 2016

Thirty years of instruction-based research have firmly established the identity of a subfield of SLA known as Instructed Second Language Acquisition (ISLA). Underlying this disciplinary development are large numbers of studies, theoretical and empirical. These studies have collectively identified and refined relevant clusters of constructs, notable among them: explicit/implicit knowledge, strong/weak/no-interface relations, intentional/incidental learning, overt/covert feedback, deductive/inductive approaches, focus on forms/focus on form, synthetic/analytic approaches, fine tuning/rough tuning, input/intake/output, form/meaning/use, and teachability/learnability.

With its longstanding commitment to teaching and learning research and practice, Teachers College, Columbia University is proud to host the 35th Second Language Research Forum (SLRF) with a particular focus on ISLA. We aim to bring together students, teachers, and researchers to share, question, and reflect on past and current research, and more importantly, on the future of ISLA and its transdisciplinary relevance, especially to second and foreign language teaching.

To that end, we cordially invite proposal submissions that seek to provide a nuanced, rather than black-and-white, understanding of instructional efficacy in SLA in light of complex questions such as: Which aspects of language are susceptible (or not) to which type of instruction to which learner(s) and at which stage of learner language development? As we look forward to facilitating a candid discussion on the theme of the conference, Thirty Years of ISLA: Learning, Instruction, Learning, and Outcome, we especially welcome the following:

Longitudinal case or cross-sectional studies invoking elicited data and/or naturalistic data analyzed qualitatively and/or quantitatively
Research syntheses (narrative reviews and meta-analyses are both encouraged)
Replications of published studies
Studies on the internal validity of the research methodology

Deadline for submissions: May 15, 2016

Please contact [email protected] for questions or comments.

Call for Participation:

K-16 Articulation for Chinese Language Instruction: A Mini-Conference at Indiana University on July 25th (Saturday)

It is exciting to see that the number of students who enroll in college Chinese programs with prior Chinese learning experience in high school has been increasing each year. However, it is very important both for college-level instructors to understand what and how Chinese is taught in K-12 settings and for K-12 teachers to understand what the expectations are for college-level students.

With the support of IU’s East Asian Studies Center, this mini-conference offered by the Chinese Flagship Center on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University is intended to provide an opportunity for teachers in the area to reach the following goals:

1.       To discuss the learning objectives for each level, which can serve as  starting points for curricular design for Chinese language programs in Indiana;

2.       To understand and exchange ideas about varied and effective ways to assess student achievement of the learning objectives;

3.       To identify some of the challenges of teaching/ learning Chinese and to discuss possible solutions; and

4.       To foster a sense of a community among teachers in Indiana and its neighboring states.

Schedule of the Mini-Conference:

9:30am-10:00am Registration

10:00am-11:30am Brief overview of ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines and state standards, discussion of learning objectives for each level in small groups, and presentation of the discussion results to the whole group

11:30am-12:00pm Discussion of challenges to reaching the learning objectives

12:00-1:00pm Lunch & EASC China table presentation

1:00pm-1:45pm Introduction of textbooks/(electronic) teaching materials/useful apps used at each school

1:45pm-2:30pm Discussion of student assessment

2:30pm-3:00pm Reflection and evaluation, what would you like to do in the future to keep working on K-16 articulation?

Space is limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis. A limited number of complimentary materials will be provided by the generous support of Cheng & Tsui and Columbia University Press, and limited funding for travel support is available.

All participants must register by July 15th. If interested, please fill out the attached registration form and send it to Mr. Brian Flaherty, Assistant Director of the Chinese Flagship Center at Indiana University–Bloomington, at [email protected]. Please include a copy of one of two recently-used syllabi so we can compile them and send an e-copy of the entire set to all participants.

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, July 25th.

Best,

Yea-Fen

Conference recap--May 6, 2015

Dear 2015 Conference Attendees:

Thank you for joining us at the 13th New York International Conference on Teaching Chinese on Saturday, May 2nd. By all accounts, we had a most successful conference. Over 90 speakers, many from overseas and across the US, presented at 24 panels. While having engaged professional discussions throughout the day, we also enjoyed the wonderful performances at the closing ceremony. We celebrated the continued collaboration with Nanjing University and were encouraged by Consul Yongji Xu from the Chinese Consulate in New York to further our effort in promoting and enhancing the teaching of Chinese.

As we bid farewell to our colleagues, the CLTA-GNY conference committee would like to share with you the pictures that captured our activities (https://www.flickr.com/photos/8310537@N08/sets/72157651937823739/and https://www.flickr.com/photos/paceconfuciusinstitute/sets/72157652368133585/) and the recap video played at the closing ceremony (https://youtu.be/GHibPPtYEfg, our friends in China can view it at http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTQ5MTg2MzI4.html). We would also like to get your feedback on the conference to help us plan for future events. Please follow the web link (http://goo.gl/forms/g90t3hGdIY) to complete a short survey.

New academic journal K-12 -- April 25, 2015

Dear Chinese language educators, professors, and teachers:

This is Annie Ping Zeng, director of the Confucius Institute at University of Alaska Anchorage. I also serve as the editor of a new academic journal K-12 Chinese Language Teaching; today I would like to announce the establishment of the journal. Initiated by the Chinese Language Teachers Association, USA (CLTA-USA), the inaugural edition of this web-based journal K-12 Chinese Language Teaching 《中小学汉语教学》 will be officially published on the CLTA –USA website on September 1, 2015. This new publication aims to serve preschool and K-12 Chinese language (as a second language) education worldwide by linking preschool and K-12 Chinese language teachers, Chinese language teacher educators, Chinese language pedagogy researchers, Chinese language program leaders and policymakers. The CLTA –USA platform will focus on sharing experiences and exchanging ideas in teaching, research, and professional development. As the journal will provide an interactive function at the CLTA-USA's website, communication between Chinese language researchers and K-12 Chinese teachers would be expected to link research and teaching practice by asking and answering concerned questions in teaching or managing types of Chinese language programs.

The journal now calls for paper for its inaugural edition. The detailed information can be viewed at the attached files in both English and Chinese. The writing format for Chinese manuscripts is also attached. As the journal is worldwide based, I would appreciate and encourage all the CI directors to forward the journal information to the K-12 school districts and Chinese language teachers within your reach, so that overseas Chinese teachers can contribute to the journal and share their teaching experience through the journal platform. Your support and help are vital to the success of the journal.

Thank you very much,

Annie Ping Zeng

Getting There:

The New York City campus is impressive not only in its physical attributes, but as an intellectual and cultural focal point for one of New York City's most dynamic and revitalized areas. The interaction between campus and community benefits both. A map of the New York city campus(http://www.pace.edu/nyc-map) and its surrounding location is available for download.

Both the Eddie Layton Student Union and Aniello Bianco Room, where the main activities of the conference will take place, are on the B-Level of 1 Pace Plaza and are both most easily accessible through the 3 Spruce Street, Schimmel Center entrance. Handicap access to the B-Level is located at 9 Spruce Street. The Bianco Room is located down the hall to the left of the security desk while the Student Union is located down the hall to the left and across the courtyard at 9 Spruce Street. Breakout Rooms are located on the West side of the 6th Floor, accessible by elevators to the rear and left of the security desk.

Pace is easily accessible by public transportation. For more information, visit the Pace visitor information website: http://www.pace.edu/about-us/directions-to-all-campuses/nyc-campus

Parking: Street parking may be available but it is often quite limited. Be sure to read the signs for parking regulations and feed the meters if necessary. The following three parking garages are within a few blocks of 1 Pace Plaza.

汉语教学现重磅炸弹欧洲汉语教学协会在巴黎成立 -- Feb. 26, 2015

《法国侨报》讯日前，一颗汉语教学界的重磅炸弹在巴黎引爆：以促进和提高欧洲汉语语言文化教学和交流为目的的欧洲汉语教学协会（欧汉会）宣布成立，并将总部设在巴黎。

欧洲汉语教学协会为欧洲各国相关的汉语语言文化教学协会和个人提供了一个相互交流与合作的平台,共同努力以实现不断提升欧洲汉语语言文化教学质量的目标。

欧洲汉语教学协会的宗旨是推动欧洲的汉语语言教学、文化教学与研究的发展,加强欧洲和各国汉语外语教学界的国际交流与合作，以增进汉语教学与研究工作者之间的相互了解和友好合作, 以期建立一个多元语言和多元文化的欧洲，为包容和和平的世界贡献力量。欧洲汉语教学协会将根据其宗旨举办各种教学培训及学术交流活动, 促进和组织理论研究、教材编写、人员交流等方面的国际合作, 并适时出版有关汉语教学与研究的资料、成果及专业刊物。

欧洲汉语教学协会的成立无疑将推动欧洲汉语教学人员更广泛地参与欧洲各国乃至国际对汉语教学策略及教学法的整体思考。

欧洲汉语教学协会的成立经过了整整一年的筹备工作。去年1月，法国汉语教学协会在巴黎索邦大学召集了首次欧洲汉语教学培训会,专程赴会的世界汉语教学协会秘书长马箭飞在会议期间和与会代表们商讨,并在创建欧洲汉语教学协会的必要性问题上获得了共识。

今年1 月 31 日，在法国汉语教学协会年会召开的同时，欧洲汉语教学协会宣布成立，并召开了协会的第一届理事会。来自法国、德国、英国、爱尔兰、荷兰、比利时、意大利、瑞士、西班牙、葡萄牙、塞浦路斯、匈牙利、芬兰等国的数千名汉语教学界人士与会，代表们在会上通过了由白乐桑、张新生和王培文起草的欧洲汉语教学联合会章程。根据章程，欧洲汉语教学协会理事必须为长期定居欧洲并在欧洲的教育机构从事汉语教学或研究工作的人员。

第一届理事会讨论了完善欧洲汉语教学现状的白皮书，商讨欧洲汉语教师培训等跨洲际项目，选举并产生了由七名理事组成的常务理事会。欧洲汉语教学协会常务理事会将主持首届欧洲汉语教学协会的常务工作。

The Making of the Documentary--Oct. 13, 2014

(English summary: One of the most renowned and influential romantic poets of 20th-century Chinese literature, Xu Zhimo made tremendous contributions to modern Chinese literature in general and modern Chinese poetry in particular.

Message from the CLTA-GNY Conference Co-Chair -- June 23, 2014

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to note that the CLTA-GNY 12th New York International Conference on Teaching Chinese, held at New York University on May 3 and 4th, was a great success! The conference theme was “Teaching Chinese in the Global Community: Developing Communicative Competence in a New Age.” For the second year, the conference was co-sponsored by the Institute for International Studies at Nanjing University.

This marks the second time the conference was held at NYU, as the first ever conference of CLTA-GNY was also held at NYU. Approximately 100 educators attended that first conference; in 2014 our conference boasted attendance of nearly 300 educators and 100 presentations. Presenters came from many countries - China, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Singapore -- and more than 14 states.

Photos and presentations from the event are available through the CLTA-GNY photo site (https://www.flickr.com/photos/8310537@N08/sets/72157644273440138/).

Journal of Chinese Language Teachers Association Style Sheet

Procedures:

Manuscripts submitted to the Journal must not have been previously published elsewhere -- either in print or electronically -- nor currently under review for possible publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be submitted in electronic format, with an original hardcopy mailed to -CLTA-GNY.
The Journal publishes articles in both English and Chinese. English articles should go through a spelling and grammar check on the computer before submission. Authors writing in their non-native language are advised to have their articles thoroughly edited by professionals with native-level proficiency in that language prior to submission.
Documentation of sources: Authors should adhere to established academic standards for acknowledging sources and avoiding plagiarism. Information on what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it is available at: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_plagiar.html.

Manuscript Preparation:

4．All manuscripts must be readable in MS Word with all the original formatting.

Diagrams, tables, and charts must be no more than 5" wide in order to be accommodated within the width of the Journal, and the font size should be no smaller than 9 points in order to be legible (main text is printed in 11 points).
Chinese characters in articles written in English: Characters should be used in example sentences. Romanization may be added at the author's discretion. For occasional Chinese words within English text, characters may be used to accompany Romanized words on first occurrence, and where they facilitate identification, but not with words or names that are well-known or can be readily identified. In all cases, Chinese characters must be displayable with MS Word.
Romanization: Except for established proper nouns and terminology, Romanization should be done in standard Hanyu Pinyin. Tonal markings should be made by using either the Unicode-compliant Times New Roman font with tone-marked vowels or tone numbers at the end of each syllable (which will be converted to tone diacritics by the Editor).
Footnotes rather than endnotes should be used within the manuscript.
References and Bibliographies: Contemporary standard formats used in academic publications are acceptable. Items in Chinese and Western Languages may be grouped separately or listed together. Chinese listings must include characters for authors and titles, while Romanization for Chinese titles is unnecessary and translation of the titles into English is optional. Other formatting matters such as the use of capitalization, italics and punctuation should also be consistent throughout the bibliography. Authors may also refer to the bibliographies in recent issues of the Journal as samples.
All articles should have a title in both English and Chinese.
All articles should have an abstract in both English and Chinese. Abstract should be placed before main text, and English abstract should appear before Chinese abstract.
All articles should include a short bio (either in English or in Chinese) about the author and it should be placed in the end of the article. The bio should include author’s name, affiliation, and areas of research. The length of the bio should be less than 80 words.

Teaching Chinese in the Global Community:
Developing Communicative Competence in a New Age -- posted on Nov. 13, 2013

The 12th New York International Conference on Teaching Chinese, sponsored by the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Greater New York (CLTA-GNY), New York University and Nanjing University, will be held on Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4, 2014 at New York University's Kimmel Center. The full conference program begins with breakfast on May 3, and ends after lunch on Sunday, May 4. We welcome your participation!

As Chinese language educators, we are charged with the task of teaching Chinese to studentsof all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, with widely varying interests and experiences and differing motivations for studying Chinese. Our students often have limited knowledge about China and limited exposure to Chinese language and culture.

The world continues to get smaller as advances in technology connect us more closely every day. Yet, at the same time, gaps in our understanding still occur - cultural insensitivity exists and we fail to understand each other and truly respect our varying cultural viewpoints. So, as we consider culture, we must not just traditional culture, which informs our deepest belief systems, but also modern and popular culture, which reflects the real lives of our students and their counterparts in China. I t is not enough to teach language alone: we must teach culture, develop cross-cultural values such as mutual understanding, respect, tolerance, empathy, and many others through comparative and contrastive study of Asian culture and Western culture.

As teachers, we need ongoing support and training in understanding the schools in which we teach, our students and their parents; well-planned and structured training in new trends of standards-based learning to align our teaching to the Common Core Standards, immersion strategies, and the teaching of culture. We must find ways to reach our students, digital natives for whom technology is second nature and whose ways of learning may be influenced by the key role that multimedia devices play in their lives. We must base our teaching on the latest theoretical and linguistic breakthroughs to assist us in developing our instructional plans and syllabi for the teaching of Chinese.

We must be committed to improving the quality of Chinese instruction in schools, and to the development of a student population with a global competence. Join us at the 2014 Annual Conference of the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Greater New York to discuss these ideas and continue in the professional development of the Chinese teaching community!

We invite you to submit a proposal for our conference! All proposals on the teaching of Chinese in are welcome, including but not limited to innovative approaches in addressing the following areas of interest:

• CULTURAL Competence: developing global competence and mutual understanding, working with diverse students, pragmatics.

• TECHNOLOGICAL Competence: using technology to engage our students and advance their learning

• PEDAGOGICAL Competence: curriculum and instruction, including standards-based teaching and learning and assessment

• LINGUISTIC competence: research and advances in linguistics to inform our teaching

• PROGRAMMATIC competence : Teacher training and professional development, sustainability of programs, articulation of programs.

The CLTA-GNY Conference Committee welcomes submissions of one-page proposals on subjects relevant to the above themes or other topics of interest to the K-16 Chinese teaching community. Papers may be either in Chinese or English. Panel proposals as well as proposals for individual papers will be considered. All proposals will be reviewed anonymously. Individual papers will be grouped into panels by themes. Panels will be 75 minutes long with four presenters.

Proposals should be submitted to [email protected] as a Word document and are due no later than February 15, 2014. Late submissions will not be considered.

Questions: [email protected]

The conference website is http://clta-gny.org/14conf/14conf.html, where you can see updates, info about registration, conference venue, hotel recommendations, conference chairs and conference committee.
Please note the following:

The conference fee is $30.

ACTFL Annual Convention and World Languages Expo at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando--posted on Aug. 28, 2013

Did you know that ACTFL is hosting one of the largest professional development conferences for language educators in the world? The ACTFL Annual Convention and World Languages Expo at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida from November 22-24, 2013 (pre-convention workshops, Thursday, November 21) is the perfect professional development opportunity - from the pre-convention workshops to the more than 600 sessions during the Convention - all in one convenient location. You can receive a minimum of 20 continuing education hours for attending just the Convention and an additional 6 hours for attending a full-day or 3 hours for attending a half-day pre-convention workshop. CEU forms will be available on-site for your convenience.

The pre-convention workshops on November 21 provide an opportunity for you to have a more in-depth learning experience on a particular subject. This year we have several workshops and session options for teachers of Chinese.

W09 Advanced Placement (AP) Chinese Language and Culture Workshop
9:00 am – 4:30 pm, November 21, 2013

New and experienced AP teachers as well as Chinese language educators interested in learning about instructional design and assessment for equivalent college courses will come away with concrete strategies for designing and implementing an effective AP Chinese Language and Culture curriculum. Participants will learn how to align their instruction with the goals of the course, how to build students’ proficiencies in the modes of communication as defined in the Standards for Learning: Preparing for the 21st Century, and how to integrate “authentic materials” into language instruction. Everyone attending this workshop will gain a comprehensive understanding of the exam structure and learn strategies to help students prepare for the exam. Participants will receive advice about how to prepare for the AP Course Audit. Each participant will receive a copy of the AP Workshop Handbook. Portions of this workshop will be conducted in Chinese. This workshop is limited to 35 participants.

The Learning Target for this workshop is Standards & Assessment and it will be presented by Richard T. Chi, University of Utah.

W23 Immersion Workshop: Embedding Culture in the Teaching of Chinese
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm, November 21, 2013

Join your colleagues in this immersion workshop where you will experience specific strategies for teaching cultures of the Chinese speaking worlds. While immersing in the language and culture throughout the workshop, each participant will come to better understand cultural perspectives that permeate the practices and products of the cultures where Chinese is the dominant language. The featured cultural topics will provide examples of how to link the learning goals for culture with those for developing language proficiency. Educators will access and examine a variety of resources to help prepare language learners at all levels to understand, communicate, and function within another culture. This workshop builds on the strategies presented in the morning’s related workshop “Developing Cultural Proficiency”; however, participants are not required to attend the morning workshop in order to participate in this immersion workshop. The workshop will be conducted entirely in Chinese, giving participants valuable language practice.

The Learning Target for this workshop is Cultural Proficiency and it will be presented by Shuhan Wang, Independent Consultant

Your convention experience does not end here. There are hundreds of educational sessions intended for teachers of Chinese that you will want to attend. Check out the entire convention program online and develop your own personal schedule. The ACTFL Annual Convention and World Languages Expo is the place to be for the largest variety of educational sessions for language professionals of all levels.

Make sure to register by October 30 to take advantage of the advance registration savings. Don't forget to book your hotel room by October 24 to receive a discounted room.

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

Engaging Language Learners through Technology Integration-posted on March 13, 2013

CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS

Proposal Submission Deadline: April 15, 2013

Engaging Language Learners through Technology Integration: Theory, Applications, and Outcomes.

A book edited by Drs. Shuai Li & Peter Swanson (Georgia State University, U.S.A.)

To be published by IGI Global: http://bit.ly/WZxPxk

Introduction

The teaching and learning of second/foreign language has been revolutionized by the infusion of Web 2.0 technologies, free and open source software platforms, and thousands of apps emerging daily. The emergence of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), combined with new teaching approaches, has transformed language teaching and learning from a teacher-centered or textbook-centered instructional practice to a student-centered approach. The infusion of computer technology into innovative language teaching paradigms can help address the challenges that instructors face in traditional classrooms. For example, motivating and fostering student engagement in meaningful language practice is challenging for language instructors on multiple levels, not the least of which is overcoming perceptions of irrelevance in real-world applications. Computer technology can help address these issues by providing opportunities for learning languages in authentic environments through technologies such as synchronous computer-mediated communication (e.g., online chatting), asynchronous computer mediated communication (e.g., e-mail exchanges, blogging), and multi-user virtual environments. Such technology-informed language instruction can effectively motivate learners to engage in student-centered language tasks with real-world outcomes. Compared with traditional classroom approaches, technology-informed language instruction can better improve linguistic and cultural fluency, which is linked to increased learning output, a decreased sense of the affective obstacles to language learning, and improved quality of communication (Schinke-Llano & Vicars, 1993; Stepp-Greany, 2002).

Clearly, CALL holds much promise for effective language teaching and learning. Yet as a relatively young field of inquiry, there has been limited empirical research highlighting the learning outcomes of technology integration. Although many journals and books provide research describing how to implement technology, few chapters and articles are published showing the effectiveness of using technology for teaching languages. This book seeks to expand the knowledge base of CALL that highlights how technology impacts the teaching and learning of languages from an empirical standpoint and from a global perspective. Having a resource that includes the theoretical and practical uses of technology tools as well as learning outcomes from having integrated technology into the language learning process is important in today’s research-based, student achievement driven society. Clearly, language learning is a complex system, and the successful outcomes related to the integration of technology should be focused on.

Objective of the Book

The overarching goal of the book is to build an innovative knowledge base about CALL theory and successful practices integrating a variety of technological tools in the context of K-20 language learning. To achieve this goal, this book will present a collection of empirical studies examining theoretical issues as well as specific applications and outcomes regarding the integration of innovative technology into language teaching and learning. This book will consider a wide spectrum of technology applications for all operating systems suitable for educational purposes. Innovative research using free and open source software, proprietary software, as well as a plethora of cutting-edge apps that engage language learners and promote successful language learning will be presented along with empirical findings.

Target Audience

The target audience of this book will be composed of educational researchers, instructional technologists, K-20 language teachers, and people interested in language teaching outside formal educational environments. Faculty members at institutions of higher education as well as curriculum specialists will be able to benefit from the book for making decisions regarding curriculum development, assessment strategies, and selection of language learning technology for language labs. The book will serve as a reference for the advancement of research on and the practice of teaching and learning languages in both theoretical and practical ways. As such, this book can be used as a textbook for second/foreign language technology integration classes.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

·         Web 2.0 tools in language teaching, learning, and testing

·         Intelligent Tutoring in language teaching, learning, and testing

·         Computer-mediated communication in language teaching, learning, and testing

·         Corpora and concordancers in language teaching, learning, and testing

·         Virtual and distant language learning technologies

·         Language courseware design, development, and evaluation

·         Cognitive, affective and social factors and outcomes of CALL

·         Computer technology in teacher training and development

Submission Procedure

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before April 15, 2013, a chapter proposal (1-2 pages) clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by May 17, 2013 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by August 30, 2013. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

Publisher

Call for Paper--New York International Conference in May, 2013

The 11th New York International Conference on Teaching Chinese Language and Culture

Global Perspectives in Chinese Language and Culture Instruction

As Chinese language programs continue to proliferate throughout the country and around the world, Chinese language educators will need to re-conceptualize Chinese language education in light of the new opportunities and challenges posed by this explosion of interest. As a rapidly increasing number of American students – at younger and younger ages – begin learning Chinese, it will be necessary to develop new ways of thinking about the Chinese language and Chinese learning that incorporate new insights in student motivation and psychology, new approaches to linguistic analysis, and that recognize the key roles played by technology and multimedia devices in students’ daily lives.

This year’s conference will address all of these opportunities and challenges, with an emphasis on the following topics, though presentations on related topics are also welcome:

(1) TECHNOLOGY: Using technology and media in the Chinese language classroom and in online and distance learning.

(2) STUDENT MOTIVATION: Increasing student motivation through creative approaches to teaching and learning and a better understanding of student psychology.

(3) ADMINISTRATION: The administrative challenges posed by the rapid rise of Chinese language education and the critical shortage of qualified Chinese teachers.

(4) PEDAGOGY: The differences between approaches to teaching Chinese to heritage and non-heritage learners; general and specialized student populations; public and private schools; urban, suburban, and rural schools, etc.

(5) LINGUISTICS: New approaches to understanding and explaining Chinese syntax, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics, including psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and cognitive science.

(6) CULTURE & TRANSLATION: Innovative ways of incorporating the teaching of culture into the language learning process and the translation of Chinese culture and literature in the US.

(7) IMMERSION: Opportunities and strategies for studying the language culture in Chinese-speaking communities around the world.

(8) ASSESSMENT: Effective methods to assess student learning.

The CLTA-GNY Conference Committee welcomes submissions of one page proposals on subjects relevant to the above themes. Papers can be either in Chinese or English. We will consider proposals for panels as well as individual papers. All proposals will be reviewed anonymously. Individual papers will be grouped into panels by themes. Panels will be 75 minutes long with four presenters. Please note that we will need separate abstracts for each paper on any panel proposal.

Please send your proposals to the below address(es) to be received by us by February 15, 2013. Both paper and electronic forms are acceptable, though we encourage and prefer e-mail submission.

Email submissions should be sent to: [email protected]
