<strong>CLTA</strong> NEWSLETTER <strong>Jan</strong>uary <strong>2020</strong><br />
In the summer of 2019 (June 24th to July 12th, 2019), the Chinese program at the<br />
University of Pittsburgh<br />
successfully ran its first<br />
“CoolChinese”<br />
Language & Culture<br />
Summer Camp. The<br />
summer camp, jointly<br />
sponsored by the<br />
Department of East<br />
Asian Languages &<br />
Literatures and the<br />
Confucius Institute at<br />
the University of<br />
Pittsburgh, offered<br />
language and culture<br />
immersion<br />
opportunities to ten<br />
local high school<br />
students with varying socioeconomic and racial/ethnic background. With raving feedback and<br />
requests from students and parents, Pitt Chinese program is planning to host CoolChinese Summer<br />
Camp for a second time, during June 22nd to July 10th, <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
The summer camp aims to help 9th to 11th graders who have little or no prior background of Chinese<br />
to learn about the language and its culture. Students work with an outstanding instructional team of<br />
full-time language instructors, cultural and physical activity leaders, and native speaker language<br />
partners. The camp runs on a<br />
standard-based thematic<br />
curriculum aligned with<br />
American Council on the<br />
Teaching of Foreign<br />
Languages’ World-Readiness<br />
Standards. Students’ language<br />
proficiency is measured with<br />
summative assessment<br />
methods through the<br />
contextual tasks and projects.<br />
At the end of the<br />
CoolChinese Summer Camp<br />
2019, students were not only<br />
able to converse on<br />
predictable topics of daily<br />

routine and hobbies, but<br />
also acquired an<br />
understanding of various<br />
aspects of the Chinese<br />
culture. Language activities<br />
were always woven in<br />
together with culture and<br />
content knowledge<br />
learning. Different from<br />
classroom practices in the<br />
traditional context,<br />
students were always<br />
engaged in “learning by<br />
doing.” One topic that<br />
they learned was the<br />
Chinese culinary tradition. Students purchased food from Chinese grocery stores, cooked Chinesestyle<br />
hotpot by themselves, learned about traditional Chinese table-manners, and ordered bubble teas<br />
customized with their dietary preferences. Pictures below showed some of these learning activities,<br />
including students’ Beijing Opera mask painting, traditional paper-cutting, Chinese food preparation,<br />
Tai Chi practice, etc.<br />
By hosting a series of summer camps for high school students in the Greater Pittsburgh region in the<br />
recent years, Pitt Chinese Program hopes to help strengthen the ties between students and educators<br />
of Chinese in the K12 and college context. In the long run, they envision to work with other members<br />
of the community to establish a pipeline of Chinese language and culture instruction from secondary<br />
schools to college. Some of<br />
their recent community<br />
outreach activities also<br />
include working with local<br />
libraries and daycare<br />
centers for Chinese storytime<br />
and after-program<br />
activities.<br />
The video included here<br />
shows what students from<br />
CoolChinese summer camp<br />
say about this unique<br />
experience.<br />

Luo, H., & Gui, M. (2019) Developing an effective Chinese-American telecollaborative learning program:<br />
an action research study, Computer Assisted Language Learning, DOI: 10.1080/09588221.2019.1633355<br />
Despite the rapid development of telecollaboration in foreign language education in the past twenty years,<br />
telecollaborative exchanges involving Chinese as the target language have not received sufficient attention<br />
both at the practice and at the research level. Adopting an action research approach, this study focuses on<br />
examining the student perceptions as well as the challenges of a carefully designed Chinese-American<br />
telecollaborative learning program involving Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) students of two<br />
proficiency levels (i.e., beginning and intermediate) at a small liberal arts college in the U.S. and Chinesespeaking<br />

American context. Frontiers of Education in China (Special issue, The teaching and learning of Chinese<br />
as a second or foreign language (CSL/CFL): The current situation and future directions)<br />
With the promise of achieving bilingualism, biliteracy, and cultural pluralism, Chinese immersion<br />
programs for Kindergarten to 12 th (K -12) students in North America, especially the United States, have<br />
been proliferating in the past two decades. Research on this rapidly growing population of nonnative<br />
Chinese learners is also growing. This research synthesis focused on 35 qualified studies published in<br />
recent years on Chinese immersion in both Chinese and English language journals and books. The review<br />
found that researchers are exploring a wide range of issues with respect to language and literacy<br />
development in Chinese immersion programs, including academic achievement in English, language and literacy acquisition<br />
in Chinese, instructional strategies and classroom interaction, and learners’ language use and its sociolinguistic variation.<br />
These studies reflect the growing interest and demand in learning more about the lesser-researched CFL learner population,<br />
and this review concluded with suggestions for future research on Chinese immersion based on its curricular features as well<br />
as specific considerations of conducting research with young, emergent bilingual and biliterate learners.<br />

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

This study presents a Bayesian analysis of the effects of blogging on heritage writing anxiety.<br />
Results from both within and between-subject experiments corroboratively showed that online<br />
writing can lower heritage learners’ writing anxiety. However, it had on effect on learners’<br />
cognitive anxiety, one of the sub-dimensions of writing anxiety.<br />

(Eds). The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Language Teaching, p.166-179. Abingdon and New York:<br />
Routledge.<br />
This paper discusses teaching Chinese lexical tones, a prominent linguistic feature of the Chinese sound<br />
system, to adult learners. The chapter includes three sections. The first briefly introduces the linguistic<br />
properties of Chinese lexical tones. Focusing on the most difficult Tone 3, the second section reviews<br />
research findings on second language acquisition of Chinese tones in order to shed light on tone<br />
teaching. In order to facilitate effective tone teaching and learning, the third section offers pedagogical<br />
suggestions and three sets of sample tone training materials for instructors to help learners establish the<br />
phonological representation of Chinese lexical tones and develop motor skills for tone implementation.<br />
Zhang, H. (2019). The positional effects of contour tones in second language Chinese. In Zhang, H-M.<br />
and Qian, Youyong (ed.) Prosodic Studies: Challenges and Prospects. Routledge.<br />
ABSTRACT: This study investigates the errors made by 60 English, Japanese, and Korean speaking<br />
learners of Chinese when producing the two contour lexical tones T2 (rising tone) and T4 (falling tone)<br />
in disyllabic words. It finds that T2 is produced at a greater rate of accuracy in word-initial positions,<br />
while T4 is produced at a greater rate of accuracy in word-final positions. Two inter-tonal effects shared<br />
across the three groups of speakers were also observed:1) the accuracy rate of T2 is always greater<br />
when it is followed by tones with low onsets than when it is followed by tones with high onsets, and 2)<br />
the accuracy rate of T4 is always greater when it is followed by low tones than when it is followed by<br />
other tones. The study presents evidence suggesting that second language tones are partially constrained by anticipatory<br />
dissimilation.<br />
Xu, HY., Li, Y., & Li, YJ. (2019) Using online applications to improve tone perception among L2<br />
learners of Chinese. Journal of Technology and Chinese Language Teaching. Volume 10, 26-56<br />
This study investigated the effectiveness of an online application in helping beginning-level Chinese<br />
learners improve their perception of the tones in Mandarin Chinese. Two groups-one experimental and<br />
one traditional-of beginning Chinese learners from two universities in the Midwest participated in this<br />
study. The experimental group (n=20) used the online application to practice tones for four 15-minute<br />
sessions in class. The traditional group (n=11) participated in traditional instructor-led practice in class<br />
in lieu of the online practice. Both groups completed a pre-test, an immediately administered post-test,<br />
and a delayed post-test designed to assess their perception of the tones of monosyllabic and disyllabic<br />
words. No statistically significant difference has been found between the two groups in their tone perception performance in<br />
the post-test and in the delayed post-test. However, the experimental group showed a positive trend in improving their<br />
perception on those tones which posed more difficulty than others. Based on the findings, it is proposed that the use of<br />
online tone practice is worthwhile in a Chinese language class, but might fit better into the curriculum as external<br />
assignments.<br />

第 六 届 语 言 学 与 汉 语 教 学 国 际 论 坛<br />
October 9-12, <strong>2020</strong><br />
Stanford University Co-organized<br />
with<br />
The Chinese Language Teachers Association of California (<strong>CLTA</strong>C) City<br />
University of Hong Kong<br />
Background and Purposes<br />
The International Forum on Linguistics and Chinese Education (IFOLCE) is organized as an annual conference<br />
dedicated to exploring and promoting application of the latest linguistic research findings to the field of Teaching<br />
Chinese as a Second Language. The establishment of IFOLCE originally resulted from a joint-effort of a group of<br />
colleagues in the field from eight universities in the United States, Beijing, and Hong Kong. Debuting in 2015, the<br />
IFOLCE annual forum has been held rotationally among the five locations with each having two co-organizers.<br />
IFOLCE-1 was held at University of California at Davis (co-organizer Columbia University), IFOLCE-2 at Beijing<br />
Language and Culture University (co-organizer Peking University), IFOLCE-3 at Notre Dame University (coorganizer<br />
Princeton University), IFOLCE-4 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (co-organizer Stanford<br />
University), and IFOLCE-5 at Columbia University (co-organizer UC-Davis). IFOLCE-6 will be held at Stanford<br />
University with two co-organizers, the Chinese Language Teachers Association of California (<strong>CLTA</strong>C) and City<br />
University of Hong Kong.<br />
It has been recognized for a long time that linguistic studies play an important role in second language teaching.<br />
As observed in the great tradition pioneered by Yuen Ren Chao and others, Chinese L2 teaching should be<br />
placed on a solid basis of Chinese linguistics. With such an understanding, IFOLCE is intended to serve as a<br />
premier forum, inviting scholars from around the world to exchange their latest research insights on new advances<br />
in linguistic studies to enhance our work in teaching Chinese a second language.<br />

Host an ALLEX Teaching Fellow or Instructor at Your<br />
Institution<br />
We provide professionally trained Chinese, Japanese and Korean teaching fellows and instructors to<br />
universities who teach in exchange for financial support to take courses.<br />
ALLEX (Alliance for Language Learning and Educational Exchange) will provide your institution with a<br />
professionally trained native speaking teaching fellow or instructor who will teach for two years in<br />
exchange for financial support to pursue a Master's or second Bachelor's degree.<br />
Alternatively, for institutions which already have established Asian language programs, the ALLEX<br />
Foundation also offers a one-year option designed as a cost-effective way to expand course offerings, add<br />
drill instructors, staff adjunct positions, or replace faculty on leave. Teaching Fellows in the one-year plan<br />
teach in exchange for room, board and tuition to take one or two classes, either for credit or as auditors.<br />
They are not degree seeking.<br />
This program has run successfully since 1988 at more than 230 universities all over the U.S. Schools<br />
currently using ALLEX instructors include Boston University, Colby College, Florida Institute of<br />
Technology, Hamilton College, Indiana University Bloomington, Portland State University, Texas Tech<br />
University, Union College, University of Iowa, University of Kentucky, University of Mississippi,<br />
University of Utah, Vanderbilt University, and Wellesley College.<br />
The distinctive feature of the ALLEX program is the 7 weeks of Chinese, Japanese or Korean language<br />
teacher training that our teaching fellows and instructors undergo at Washington University in St. Louis<br />
during the summer before they begin teaching. It is taught by some of the nation’s foremost experts in<br />
Asian language pedagogy, with faculty drawn from Cornell, M.I.T., Ohio State, Washington University<br />
in St. Louis, and Williams College.<br />
The ALLEX admission process is rigorous and selective: we personally interview all of the candidates in<br />
Taiwan, China, Japan and Korea, and only about 15-20% of applicants are admitted to the<br />
program. ALLEX instructors are bright, dynamic native speakers of their language with very good<br />
English skills. Once we make the assignment, you have the final say in accepting or rejecting the<br />
candidate we recommend to you.<br />
