Research Frontiers
Qin, Tianyu, & Zhang, Jie. (2019). Computerized dynamic assessment and second language learning:
Programed mediation to promote future development. Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 17 (2):
198-213. DOI: 10.1891/1945-8959.17.2.198
This paper centers on two projects in which C-DA was used to assess university-level
learners’ performance in an L2 context. In the first, a listening and reading C-DA
project was employed to assess reading and listening comprehension, while the second
involved using C-DA to evaluate pragmatic comprehension. We specifically bring into
focus how the two approaches address topics including definition of constructs,
determination of tasks, design of mediation, scoring procedures, interpretation of
scores/performances, and evidence of transfer. Through identifying what has been
achieved and what needs to be explored further, we provide a critical analysis of L2 C-
DA research and propose future directions for applying this unique technology for
helping L2 learners develop language skills. We also examine the pedagogical
applications of C-DA in terms of interpreting student performance and developing
tailored instruction for individuals with diverse learning needs.
Zhang, Jie, & Lu, Xiaofei. (2019). Measuring and supporting second language development using
computerized dynamic assessment. Language and Sociocultural Theory, 6 (1): 92-115.
This study developed an innovative framework for measuring and supporting second language development
through integrating diagnostic language assessment and instruction by incorporating mediation. Nineteen
students enrolled in an intermediate Chinese listening and speaking course at a large public university in the
Midwest United States took a computerized dynamic assessment (C-DA) listening test in the Spring 2015
semester. The test report also included a learner profile detailing each student’s independent and mediated
performance on clusters of items designed to test different language constructs. Based on the results of the
diagnostic C-DA test, students were categorized in three groups, and each group was offered instructional
support tailored to their listening abilities and learning needs. Analysis of the diagnostic test reports, student
interviews, and end-of-semester student evaluations of the course provided evidence that the integration of
diagnostic language assessment and instruction that incorporates appropriate mediation helped creating a
coherent and effective pedagogy for the students.

University of Arizona Team
Launches New Teaching and
Research Resource,
DormTalk
We are pleased to announce that the
DormTalk website is ready for us to share with the
CLTA community. The DormTalk website
provides ten modules
(https://dormtalk.arizona.edu/modules/ ) focusing
on ten different topics that can be readily
incorporated into Chinese language teaching. In
each module, we provide two annotated
conversations that were authentic interactions
between American study abroad students in China
and their Chinese age peers. Age-appropriate
authentic materials are often hard to find in
Chinese language teaching; those that are available
tend to be either too childish (e.g., reading
materials designed for Chinese children) or too
advanced with only adult native Chinese speakers
(e.g., Chinese fictions, or films). The DormTalk
project uses recordings from Chinese L2 learners
and their native Chinese-speaking roommates.
The conversations also show the kinds of culture
shock and language barriers that learners often
encounter in real life, which are often overlooked
in exiting Chinese language teaching materials.
This L2 learner perspective is reflected in the
topics of the conversations that we have selected,
such as discussions about Chinese taxi drivers’
accents (in Language module), or a conversation
about the need to wear masks because of the smog
(Weather). Suggested activities based on authentic tasks are also provided. We hope teachers looking
for supplementary materials to incorporate into their Chinese language classrooms will find our
website useful. We welcome feedback and suggestions from Chinese language teachers and learners.
This project was made possible by two seed grants from the University of Arizona and a
federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education through CERCLL, a Title VI Language
Resource Center. Please contact the project director, Wenhao Diao (wdiao@email.arizona.edu) for
questions or more details.

CALL FOR ARTICLE PROPOSALS: Elementary-level foreign
language instruction: from theory to practice
Editor: Ekaterina (Katya) Nemtchinova, Seattle Pacific University, katya@spu.edu
Successful elementary level language courses are crucial for a foreign language program as they can lay a
foundation for further language and culture study, instill the love for language, and populate upper-level
courses with students. One way to ensure that the pursuit of the language continues beyond the first year is
to sustain learner’s interest, confidence, and motivation from the start by supporting language instruction
with engaging activities and contextualized practice. This edited volume aims to facilitate teaching language
at the beginning level by exploring a wide range of critical research and practical issues of interest to
instructors of the first-year language classroom. To this end, you are invited to submit proposals for articles
that address research or pedagogical issues with the focus on classroom implications for novice levels of
adult language proficiency.
The articles in this volume will:
• focus on adult learners in a formal classroom setting (e.g. college or university classes);
• address facilitation of linguistic, communicative, and cultural competence in the framework of
reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills;
• describe successful instructional strategies and collaborative projects;
• discuss empirical research findings and their implications for classroom teaching;
• present innovative materials and techniques that enhance teaching and learning;
• offer practical teaching suggestions that would work in any adult elementary-level language
classroom.
Given the relative scarcity of materials targeting adult novice-level instruction, the ideas, methods,
techniques, and practical recommendations contained in the book will strengthen the elementary
curriculum as they appeal to various learning styles, build learners’ confidence, and help stimulate language
production in the context of classroom-specific uses.
The book will consist of the following tentative sections:

Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by January 15, 2020
This volume has been discussed with Routledge, which expressed an interest in the project. Once article
proposals are finalized, a full book proposal will be sent to the publisher. Upon acceptance by the
publisher, potential article authors will be invited to submit full articles (up to 6,000 words) and will be sent
guidelines for preparing articles along with submission deadlines. Articles should be original work and
should not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All submitted articles will undergo a blind review

Chinese for Specific and
Professional Purposes: Theory,
Pedagogical Applications, and
Practices
Editors: Hongyin Tao, Howard Hao-Jan Chen
This book, likely the first of its kind in the English language, explores
Chinese for specific and professional purposes (CSP) in terms of
theorizing and developing practical applications for language teaching
and learning. While research in language for specific purposes is
thriving for languages such as English, there has been comparatively
little such research conducted for Chinese. This volume attempts to
fill the gap by bringing together practitioners from a broad
international scholarly community, who share common interests yet
diverse orientations.
Seventeen papers are included, and address four broad thematic categories: (1) academic Chinese, (2)
business Chinese, (3) Chinese for medicine and health care, and (4) Chinese for other broadly defined
services and industries (diplomacy, tourism, wine-tasting, etc.). Representing the state of the art in CSP
research, the book offers an indispensable guide for anyone interested in theoretical and practical issues in
this area of applied Chinese language studies.

Volumes 1 and 2, but the careful attention paid to maintaining a level-appropriate challenge for
