A Dreamy 

Afternoon: Jimi @ SF State 

 

This coming October, learners and teachers of Chinese in the Bay Area can look forward to a 

very special treat. Taiwan’s famous children’s book illustrator Jimi (Jimmy Liao) will be in 

San Francisco for a series of events organized by the Chinese Program at San Francisco State 

University in co-operation with a number of partners. Jimi has authored and illustrated over 

50 books that have been translated into dozens of foreign languages. His art adorns 

Taiwanese postal stamps and metro cards and several of his books have been turned into 

award-winning movies. Haode Ge, staff writer of the CLTAC Newsletter, met with Frederik 

Green, Assistant Professor of Chinese at SF State, to talk about the upcoming event series 

that will take place between October 20-22, 2016. 

CLTAC: First of all, congratulations on getting 

such a celebrity to come to San Francisco! 

Was it difficult to invite Jimi? 

FHG: Yes and no. There is quite a story behind 

the project. I won’t spill all the beans --- if you 

are curious about the whole story, you have to 

come to the reading on October 22. But let 

me tell you this much: Jimi at first was not very 

enthusiastic. His editor, whom I first presented 

with the idea, told me that the last two times 

Jimi gave talks abroad, things did not end 

well. He went to Italy and Sweden to receive 

awards from the respective Ministries of 

Cultures. In Italy, he got food poisoning and in 

Sweden, he caught a nasty cold the moment 

he stepped off the plane. No wonder, it was 

the middle of November! So I hastened to 

add that San Francisco’s weather in late 

October is the opposite of that of Sweden, 

and that San Francisco has the best food in 

the world. When I then told him that there are 

countless fans of Jimi’s art and many 

enthusiastic learners of Chinese in the Bay

Area craving to meet him, he simply couldn’t 

decline. 

CLTAC: Jimi is the kind of artist who is 

enjoyed by readers of all ages. Why do you 

think he appeals to such a wide audience? 

FHG: I think there are many reasons. His work 

really appeals to many different age groups. 

While the beautiful illustrations appeal to 

children and adults alike, most of the stories 

are actually more suitable to teenagers, young 

adults or even adults. They often explore 

themes many of us are familiar with: one’s first 

love, the deep bonds of friendship, the beauty 

of dreams, the hardships of growing up. This 

last topic is beautifully captured in his most 

recent work (Kiss and 

Goodbye, 2015). And then there are works 

that deal with topics such as disability, like 

(The Sound of Colors, 2001) about a 

blind girl that leans to imagine the world 

around her without the gift of sight. But above 

all, Jimi is just an incredibly captivating 

storyteller, one who can tell the most moving 

of stories with only a handful of carefully 

chosen words and beautifully drawn images. 



CLTAC: Jimi is well known not just Taiwan or 

China, but has a huge fanbase all over Asia 

and his works are also translated into many 

European languages. What gives his work 

such a global appeal? 

FHG: There clearly is something universal 

about his art. One has to look very hard to 

place his stories in a specific context. In 

(Thank you Furry Bunny, 2006), 

for example, there is a drawing of Taipei 101, 

but other than that, the city depicted looks 

like any other big city in the modern world. 

The same can be said for many of his 

characters. To me, Jimi has moved beyond the 

narrow confines of nation or ethnicity, which I 

find wonderfully refreshing. And even when 

his works make references to concrete 

environments, as, for example in 

, which was inspired by a trip to Japan 

where his art was part of the Echigo-Tsumari 

Art Triennial, it takes on such dreamlike quality 

and incorporates so many styles that the final 

book simply defies easy categorization. I think 

that’s why he has a global following. 

CLTAC: Can you tell our readers something 

about the format of the event? 

FHG: The main event will be a two-hour fully 

bi-lingual multi-media talk and reading on 

Saturday, October 22, at SF State. It will start at 

2pm and will be held at McKenna Theater, the 

biggest event space at SF State with a 

capacity for over 600 people. There will be a 

book signing at the SF State bookstore 



immediately following the event where some 

of his books will also be on sale. The event is 

free and open to the public, but registration is 

required. Please visit the Eventbrite posted 

below. Participation in the CLTAC Fall 

Workshop comes with a guaranteed seat, 

since CLTAC has been a major sponsor of 

Jimi’s visit and the Saturday event is part of 

the Fall Workshop. The other main event is a 

screening of the movie (Starry Starry 

Night, 2009) that is based on Jimi’s book of 

the same title on Thursday, October 20 at the 

University of San Francisco (USF). USF’s 

Center for Asia Pacific Studies has been our 

co-sponsor for the event. The movie will be 

followed by a Q&A with Jimi. The screening 

and Q&A are also free and open to the public, 

but registration is likewise required. There is a 

separate Eventbrite, also posted below. 

CLTAC: It seems there are a number of 

partners involved in this project? 

FHG: Absolutely! This is the biggest event the 

Chinese Program at SF State has ever hosted, 

and without our wonderful partners and 

sponsors, we would not have been able to 

pull it off. USF’s Center for Asia Pacific Studies 

was immediately on board when we brought 

up the idea, as was CLTAC. In fact, CLTAC, 

SFSU, and USF have a long history of working 

together in promoting Taiwanese and 

Chinese-language Culture in the Bay Area 

and we are excited to take this cooperation to 

a new level. The College of Liberal and 

Creative Arts at SF State has been a 

tremendous backer of the project, both 

financially and by providing the event space. 

TECO, the Taipei Economic and Cultural 

Office in San Francisco, has been a generous 

supporter of all our Taiwan events, including 

this one, and Cheng & Tsui Company and the 

SF State Confucius Institute are both 

sponsoring the event. CAIS, the Chinese 

American International School is another 

major partner, and they actually will host a 

student event with Jimi which will also be 

open to Chinese immersion students from the 

SFUSD. We are particularly grateful for the 

support of some local businesses. The 

Argonaut Hotel, San Francisco’s finest 

boutique hotel located in the historic Haslett 

Warehouse near Fisherman’s Wharf, is kindly 

providing accommodation for Jimi. And China 

Airlines, Taiwan’s national carrier, generously 

offered to bring Jimi to San Francisco for us. 

CLTAC: I heard that China Airlines decorated 

one of their planes with images from Jimi’s 

books. Will Jimi be traveling in that plane? 

FHG: (Laughs) I was wondering that as well. 

Let’s ask him on October 22!

LEA 

 

Memorial Way – new home of its renowned East Asia Library -- 

played host to the Chinese Language Teachers Association of 

California’s (CLTAC) 2016 Spring Conference on Saturday, March 

12. The conference featured some eight different panels 

encompassing twenty academic papers on subjects ranging from 

K-12 instruction, curriculum development, materials design, and 

teaching strategies to advanced level language instruction, media 

literacy, historical sound change, and the production and 

perception of Mandarin statement and interrogative intonation. 

PANELISTS AND CHAIR 

 

8C 

Following an opening address by CLTAC Vice President and 

Conference Chair Le Tang of host institution Stanford University, 

the morning session kicked off with a keynote speech by Professor 

Xia Liang of Washington University in St Louis, who presented a 

retrospective of Chinese language education in the United States, 

starting from the work of missionaries and the recruitment of 

native speakers by East Coast Universities and business guilds in 

the nineteenth century, tracing the path of its development 

through the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the advent of 

World War II in the twentieth century, all the way to the current 



state of Chinese language instruction in 

present-day America. Liang praised the 

contributions of important pioneers in 

Chinese language teaching in the U.S. such as 

missionary-historian Kenneth Scott Latourette 

(1884-1968) and China scholar Luther C. 

Goodrich (1891-1986), but emphasized also 

that Chinese language education in the U.S. 

would not have achieved its present scale 

were it not for the circumstances of history. 

The keynote speech was followed by a single 

morning session with two separate panels in 

Bishop Auditorium and Room 224 of the East 

Asian Library. In the morning panel on 

Curriculum Development, speakers explored 

explored Mandarin topic structures, the 

teaching of Chinese syntax, and trends of 

teaching in the twenty-first century. In a 

concurrent panel on K-12 Chinese Instruction, 

presenters from local K-12 schools reported 

on experiential learning, the use of authentic 

materials, and digital scrapbooking projects. 

Following an hourlong lunch break during 

which participants dined throughout the 

Lathrop Library’s sunny central quad, the 

afternoon session began at 1 PM with two 

early afternoon panels. The first, housed in 

Bishop Auditorium, explored the teaching of 

Chinese at the advanced level, with both local 

i n s t r u c t o r s a n d s p e a ke r s f ro m a f a r 

differentiated instruction, the effects of 

different task types, and the design of a 

hybrid advanced Chinese course. In a 

concurrent session on teaching strategy, 

speakers presented findings in the areas of 

task-based learning, short-term immersion, 

and differences in learning strategy between 

young learners and adult learners. 

Following a fifteen minute coffee break, the 

late afternoon sessions began in full force. 

The panel on the teaching of characters and 

pronunciation saw papers on the use of 

numbers in teaching Chinese tone, the 

production and perception of Mandarin 

intonation, and the application of historical 

sound change to decipher elements of 

pictophonetic character; a concurrent panel, 

meanwhile, looked into the selection of 

newspaper readings, the production of 

instructional videos, and the design of webbased 

mulimedia for heritage learners. The 

final session included a talk on the use of 

meaningful rather than drills in Chinese 

language instruction, as well as a presentation 

of criteria used in the evaluation of public 

speaking, meant for those who will serve as 

judges in the Association’s upcoming 

Mandarin speech contest. 

Upon the conclusion of all eight panels, the 

events of the day were wrapped up closing 

remarks by CLTAC president Liwei Gao of the 

Defense Language Institute. This year’s Spring 

Conference was attended by seventy-five 

language professionals and Chinese 

language enthusiasts from across Northern 

California.

Speech Contest Committee Meets at Lowell 

Chris Wen-Chao Li 

The Speech Contest Committee met at Lowell 

High School on Saturday April 9 to plan for the 

Chinese Language Teachers Association of 

California’s 2016 Mandarin Speech Contest. In 

attendance were CLTAC president Liwei Gao, 

Speech Contest Committee chair Liang Jing and 

vice chair Chao Xie, together with committee 

members Christina Yee, Xiaolin Chang, Chris Wenchao 

Li, Hsin-yun Liu, Min-jung Chen, April Phung, 

Lois Siyi Gao, and incoming committee members 

Rita Szu-yin Yeh (Bishop O’dowd High School) and 

Shu-chen Lin (Branson High School). 

Starting at 10 A.M., participants started showing 

up at the south side of Lowell via a little-known 

path off of Winston Drive. Amidst April showers, 

the meeting took place at Lowell High School’s 

newly constructed Bungalow #4, situated along 

scenic Lake Merced Boulevard. 

The morning session was primarily devoted to the 

grouping of registered contestants and the 

assignment of classrooms. The participants were 

divided into four groups, with Liwei Gao, Xiaolin 

Chang and Jing Liang in charge of the elementary 

level, Christina Yee, Szu-yin Yeh and Shu-chen Lin 

in charge of middle school, Hsin-yun Liu and Minjung 

Chen in charge of high school, and Chao Xie, 

Chris Wen-chao Li, and Lois Gao in charge of the 

college division. 

Sorting of participants concluded at around 1 

P.M., at which point the group stopped for lunch at 

the nearby Blue C Sushi in Stonestown Galleria. 

Following lunch break, committee vice chair Chao 

Xie went over task assignments for the day of the 

contest, covering such matters as registration and 

payment, rental of venue, invitation of special 

guests, judge recruitment and training, afternoon 

entertainment, purchase of trophies and 

certificates, design of event brochures, collection 

and calculation of scores, and press and 

mediarelations. 

Discussion of planning matters were brought to a 

close at 4 P.M., with each participant assigned 

crucial tasks in preparation for the year’s biggest 

event.

Lowell Hosts 41st CLTAC Speech Contest 

449 Students Compete in Annual Speech Extravaganza 

Chris Wen-chao Li 

April 23 – The Annual Mandarin Speech Contest of the Chinese Language Teachers Association 

of California (CLTAC) was held at Lowell High School Saturday, attracting large crowds as the 

contest headed into its forty-first year. Close to five hundred contestants coming from some 37 

schools all over Northern California were gathered at Lowell’s Lakeshore campus together with 

their friends, family and supporters, many decked in formalwear or traditional Chinese dress, 

ready to showcase their abilities in the Chinese language. 

The opening ceremony began at 12:15 PM in the auditorium of Lowell High School. CLTAC 

President Liwei Gao of the Monterey Language Institute greeted the crowd and congratulated 

them on their achievements in learning Chinese language. He explained also that the contest was 

the largest of its kind in the world, and that Chinese language teaching in the state of California 

has a long and storied history. Gao congratulated the participants on having chosen to study 

Chinese language, which is a passport to one of the world’s most vibrant economies, and 

provides access to the lives of some 1.3 billion people, as well as a great civilization reaching 

back five thousand years. Gao’s address, delivered in Mandarin, was translated into English by 

San Francisco State University professor Chris Wen-chao Li. 

Upon the conclusion of the opening ceremony at 12:30 PM, participants streamed into separate 

classrooms to engage in level-appropriate competition. Contestants were divided into four main 

groups: elementary school, middle school, high school, and college/university, and within each 

group subdivisions were created based on family background (Mandarin, dialect or none) and 

length of language study. Results started trickling in at around 1:30 PM, and while CLTAC 



organizing committee members kept busy calculating scores in the school cafeteria, student and 

faculty-led entertainment celebrating Chinese dance, music and culture was provided in the 

auditorium. The program included folk dances, traditional song, instrumental recitals, Mandopop, 

and speech and poetry recitations by faculty and students of all ages. 

The results of the contest were promptly announced at 3:40 PM, and prominent figures of the 

Chinese community were invited to present the awards. These include Education Consul Renzhu 

Li of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco, Education Division Director Huei-Wen Hsu 

of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in San Francisco, President 

Fabian Banga of the Foreign Language Association of 

Northern California (FLANC), and 

Chinese Director Chengnian 

Wu of the Confucius Institute 

at San Francisco State 

University, together with 

CLTAC President Liwei Gao 

and organizing committee 

members Xiaolin Chang (Lowell 

High School), Jing Liang (Lowell 

High School), Chao Xie 

(Monterey Language Institute), 

and Patrick Lin (Monterey 

Language Institute). 

Results were announced in the order 

of Honorable Mention, Third Place, 

Second Place and First Place. A total 

of two hundred and seven awards 

were given out, including forty-eight 

first place trophies, forty second place 

trophies, fifteen third place trophies, and 

one hundred four honorable mention 

certificates.

Note: 

1. Due to the mistake made by a tutor during the process of registration, a few contestants were registered 

for the group I-A-1 instead of the group I-D-1 where they were supposed to be registered for. The 

Organizing Committee reviewed this case and decided that those contestants were retroactively 

disqualified from the competition. As a result, their names were removed from the winner list. 

2. Upon reviewing registration records for contestants, the Organizing Committee found that the original 

winner of the 1st Place from Group I-C-1&2 does not have the qualification to participate in this contest 

according to speech contest rules. The Organizing Committee reviewed this case and decided that CLTAC 

has to retroactively strip this contestant of her 1st Place and the award will be retracted. The Organizing 

Committee moved everyone else from the same group up by one level. As a result, the original 

winner of Honorable Mention from Group I-C-1&2 became the winner of the 1st Place from that group.

CLTAC 2016 Fall Workshop 

Dear colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce that the CLTAC 

2016 Fall Workshop will be held at San 

Francisco State University on Saturday, October 

22, 2016. 

This year the one-day workshop offers three 

events: two workshops in the morning and a 

public reading in the afternoon. Professor Liwei 

Gao from Defense Language Institute will give a 

plenary talk titled “Strategies for higher 

proficiency in reading”, followed by a hands-on 

workshop led by Professor Yang Xiao-Desai 

from San Francisco State University, introducing 

EdTPA for world languages. 

In the afternoon, in coordination with the Chinese 

program at San Francisco State University, we will 

have a public multi-media reading and book 

signing with Jimi (Jimmy Liao), a well-known 

Taiwanese illustrator and author of books for 

children and young adults. 

The workshop is open to all. CLTAC members 

and non-members are all welcome. For more
