Keep Cool and Carry on 

Learning Chinese 

CoolChinese Summer 

Camp at the 

University of 

Pittsburgh 

Yi XU, Fan Fan 

Department of East Asian Languages & Literatures

In the summer of 2019 (June 24th to July 12th, 2019), the Chinese program at the 


successfully ran its first 

“CoolChinese” 

Language & Culture 

Summer Camp. The 

summer camp, jointly 

sponsored by the 

Department of East 

Asian Languages & 

Literatures and the 

Confucius Institute at 

the University of 

Pittsburgh, offered 

language and culture 

immersion 

opportunities to ten 

local high school 

students with varying socioeconomic and racial/ethnic background. With raving feedback and 

requests from students and parents, Pitt Chinese program is planning to host CoolChinese Summer 

Camp for a second time, during June 22nd to July 10th, 2020. 

The summer camp aims to help 9th to 11th graders who have little or no prior background of Chinese 

to learn about the language and its culture. Students work with an outstanding instructional team of 

full-time language instructors, cultural and physical activity leaders, and native speaker language 

partners. The camp runs on a 

standard-based thematic 

curriculum aligned with 

American Council on the 

Teaching of Foreign 

Languages’ World-Readiness 

Standards. Students’ language 

proficiency is measured with 

summative assessment 

methods through the 

contextual tasks and projects. 

At the end of the 

CoolChinese Summer Camp 

2019, students were not only 

able to converse on 

predictable topics of daily 

5


routine and hobbies, but 

also acquired an 

understanding of various 

aspects of the Chinese 

culture. Language activities 

were always woven in 

together with culture and 

content knowledge 

learning. Different from 

classroom practices in the 

traditional context, 

students were always 

engaged in “learning by 

doing.” One topic that 

they learned was the 

Chinese culinary tradition. Students purchased food from Chinese grocery stores, cooked Chinesestyle 

hotpot by themselves, learned about traditional Chinese table-manners, and ordered bubble teas 

customized with their dietary preferences. Pictures below showed some of these learning activities, 

including students’ Beijing Opera mask painting, traditional paper-cutting, Chinese food preparation, 

Tai Chi practice, etc. 

By hosting a series of summer camps for high school students in the Greater Pittsburgh region in the 

recent years, Pitt Chinese Program hopes to help strengthen the ties between students and educators 

of Chinese in the K12 and college context. In the long run, they envision to work with other members 

of the community to establish a pipeline of Chinese language and culture instruction from secondary 

schools to college. Some of 

their recent community 

outreach activities also 

include working with local 

libraries and daycare 

centers for Chinese storytime 

and after-program 

activities. 

The video included here 

shows what students from 

CoolChinese summer camp 

say about this unique 

experience.

Research Frontiers 

Luo, H., & Gui, M. (2019) Developing an effective Chinese-American telecollaborative learning program: 

an action research study, Computer Assisted Language Learning, DOI: 10.1080/09588221.2019.1633355 

Despite the rapid development of telecollaboration in foreign language education in the past twenty years, 

telecollaborative exchanges involving Chinese as the target language have not received sufficient attention 

both at the practice and at the research level. Adopting an action research approach, this study focuses on 

examining the student perceptions as well as the challenges of a carefully designed Chinese-American 

telecollaborative learning program involving Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) students of two 

proficiency levels (i.e., beginning and intermediate) at a small liberal arts college in the U.S. and Chinesespeaking 

English majors at a large university in China.

American context. Frontiers of Education in China (Special issue, The teaching and learning of Chinese 

as a second or foreign language (CSL/CFL): The current situation and future directions) 

With the promise of achieving bilingualism, biliteracy, and cultural pluralism, Chinese immersion 

programs for Kindergarten to 12 th (K -12) students in North America, especially the United States, have 

been proliferating in the past two decades. Research on this rapidly growing population of nonnative 

Chinese learners is also growing. This research synthesis focused on 35 qualified studies published in 

recent years on Chinese immersion in both Chinese and English language journals and books. The review 

found that researchers are exploring a wide range of issues with respect to language and literacy 

development in Chinese immersion programs, including academic achievement in English, language and literacy acquisition 

in Chinese, instructional strategies and classroom interaction, and learners’ language use and its sociolinguistic variation. 

These studies reflect the growing interest and demand in learning more about the lesser-researched CFL learner population, 

and this review concluded with suggestions for future research on Chinese immersion based on its curricular features as well 

as specific considerations of conducting research with young, emergent bilingual and biliterate learners.

Xiao-Desai, Yang. The effects of online writing on heritage language anxiety – a Bayesian 

analysis. In Li, S. & Yuan, F. (Eds.) Classroom-Based Research on Chinese as a second 

language (pp.128-151). New York: Routledge 

This study presents a Bayesian analysis of the effects of blogging on heritage writing anxiety. 

Results from both within and between-subject experiments corroboratively showed that online 

writing can lower heritage learners’ writing anxiety. However, it had on effect on learners’ 

cognitive anxiety, one of the sub-dimensions of writing anxiety.

(Eds). The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Language Teaching, p.166-179. Abingdon and New York: 

Routledge. 

This paper discusses teaching Chinese lexical tones, a prominent linguistic feature of the Chinese sound 

system, to adult learners. The chapter includes three sections. The first briefly introduces the linguistic 

properties of Chinese lexical tones. Focusing on the most difficult Tone 3, the second section reviews 

research findings on second language acquisition of Chinese tones in order to shed light on tone 

teaching. In order to facilitate effective tone teaching and learning, the third section offers pedagogical 

suggestions and three sets of sample tone training materials for instructors to help learners establish the 

phonological representation of Chinese lexical tones and develop motor skills for tone implementation. 

Zhang, H. (2019). The positional effects of contour tones in second language Chinese. In Zhang, H-M. 

and Qian, Youyong (ed.) Prosodic Studies: Challenges and Prospects. Routledge. 

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the errors made by 60 English, Japanese, and Korean speaking 

learners of Chinese when producing the two contour lexical tones T2 (rising tone) and T4 (falling tone) 

in disyllabic words. It finds that T2 is produced at a greater rate of accuracy in word-initial positions, 

while T4 is produced at a greater rate of accuracy in word-final positions. Two inter-tonal effects shared 

across the three groups of speakers were also observed:1) the accuracy rate of T2 is always greater 

when it is followed by tones with low onsets than when it is followed by tones with high onsets, and 2) 

the accuracy rate of T4 is always greater when it is followed by low tones than when it is followed by 

other tones. The study presents evidence suggesting that second language tones are partially constrained by anticipatory 

dissimilation. 

Xu, HY., Li, Y., & Li, YJ. (2019) Using online applications to improve tone perception among L2 

learners of Chinese. Journal of Technology and Chinese Language Teaching. Volume 10, 26-56 

This study investigated the effectiveness of an online application in helping beginning-level Chinese 

learners improve their perception of the tones in Mandarin Chinese. Two groups-one experimental and 

one traditional-of beginning Chinese learners from two universities in the Midwest participated in this 

study. The experimental group (n=20) used the online application to practice tones for four 15-minute 

sessions in class. The traditional group (n=11) participated in traditional instructor-led practice in class 

in lieu of the online practice. Both groups completed a pre-test, an immediately administered post-test, 

and a delayed post-test designed to assess their perception of the tones of monosyllabic and disyllabic 

words. No statistically significant difference has been found between the two groups in their tone perception performance in 

the post-test and in the delayed post-test. However, the experimental group showed a positive trend in improving their 

perception on those tones which posed more difficulty than others. Based on the findings, it is proposed that the use of 

online tone practice is worthwhile in a Chinese language class, but might fit better into the curriculum as external 

assignments.

The Sixth International Forum on Linguistics and Chinese 

Education (IFOLCE-6) 

第六届语言学与汉语教学国际论坛 

October 9-12, 2020 

Stanford University Co-organized 

with 

The Chinese Language Teachers Association of California (CLTAC) City 

University of Hong Kong 

Background and Purposes 

The International Forum on Linguistics and Chinese Education (IFOLCE) is organized as an annual conference 

dedicated to exploring and promoting application of the latest linguistic research findings to the field of Teaching 

Chinese as a Second Language. The establishment of IFOLCE originally resulted from a joint-effort of a group of 

colleagues in the field from eight universities in the United States, Beijing, and Hong Kong. Debuting in 2015, the 

IFOLCE annual forum has been held rotationally among the five locations with each having two co-organizers. 

IFOLCE-1 was held at University of California at Davis (co-organizer Columbia University), IFOLCE-2 at Beijing 

Language and Culture University (co-organizer Peking University), IFOLCE-3 at Notre Dame University (coorganizer 

Princeton University), IFOLCE-4 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (co-organizer Stanford 

University), and IFOLCE-5 at Columbia University (co-organizer UC-Davis). IFOLCE-6 will be held at Stanford 

University with two co-organizers, the Chinese Language Teachers Association of California (CLTAC) and City 

University of Hong Kong. 

It has been recognized for a long time that linguistic studies play an important role in second language teaching. 

As observed in the great tradition pioneered by Yuen Ren Chao and others, Chinese L2 teaching should be 

placed on a solid basis of Chinese linguistics. With such an understanding, IFOLCE is intended to serve as a 

premier forum, inviting scholars from around the world to exchange their latest research insights on new advances 

in linguistic studies to enhance our work in teaching Chinese a second language.

ERAU 2020 ROTC summer study abroad scholarship 

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) is hosting a study abroad full scholarship 

program for college ROTC students. The scholarship covers all costs for a summer 2020 

Chinese program in Taipei, Taiwan, May 8 to July 4, 2020. Upper-class ROTC students are 

especially encouraged to apply. ROTC The minimum qualification for application is good 

standing in ROTC and an equivalent of one year of college Chinese by May 2020, or Chinese 

heritage students, those who can speak some Chinese due to home influence, but still have quite 

some way to reach perfection in the language. The website of the program is 

https://prescott.erau.edu/rotc/project-GO. Application has been open since Oct 1. The 

deadline to apply is January 13, 2020. 

Host an ALLEX Teaching Fellow or Instructor at Your 

Institution 

We provide professionally trained Chinese, Japanese and Korean teaching fellows and instructors to 

universities who teach in exchange for financial support to take courses. 

ALLEX (Alliance for Language Learning and Educational Exchange) will provide your institution with a 

professionally trained native speaking teaching fellow or instructor who will teach for two years in 

exchange for financial support to pursue a Master's or second Bachelor's degree. 

Alternatively, for institutions which already have established Asian language programs, the ALLEX 

Foundation also offers a one-year option designed as a cost-effective way to expand course offerings, add 

drill instructors, staff adjunct positions, or replace faculty on leave. Teaching Fellows in the one-year plan 

teach in exchange for room, board and tuition to take one or two classes, either for credit or as auditors. 

They are not degree seeking. 

This program has run successfully since 1988 at more than 230 universities all over the U.S. Schools 

currently using ALLEX instructors include Boston University, Colby College, Florida Institute of 

Technology, Hamilton College, Indiana University Bloomington, Portland State University, Texas Tech 

University, Union College, University of Iowa, University of Kentucky, University of Mississippi, 

University of Utah, Vanderbilt University, and Wellesley College. 

The distinctive feature of the ALLEX program is the 7 weeks of Chinese, Japanese or Korean language 

teacher training that our teaching fellows and instructors undergo at Washington University in St. Louis 

during the summer before they begin teaching. It is taught by some of the nation’s foremost experts in 

Asian language pedagogy, with faculty drawn from Cornell, M.I.T., Ohio State, Washington University 

in St. Louis, and Williams College. 

The ALLEX admission process is rigorous and selective: we personally interview all of the candidates in 

Taiwan, China, Japan and Korea, and only about 15-20% of applicants are admitted to the 

program. ALLEX instructors are bright, dynamic native speakers of their language with very good 

English skills. Once we make the assignment, you have the final say in accepting or rejecting the 

candidate we recommend to you.
