Symposium on Inclusive Chinese 

as a Second Language 

3 

Yan Zhou and Liz Carter


On December 12, 2020, UCLA hosted a virtual 

event, the UC Symposium on Inclusive Chinese as a Second Language, which is the very first of its 

kind in the field of CSL in the United States. 

The symposium began with Professor Hongyin Tao (UCLA)’s opening remarks 

highlighting the urgent need for practical discussions on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the 

field of CSL under the current sociopolitical background in the United States. 

The symposium began with individual presentations and was followed by a period of open 

discussion. In their presentation, Drs. Lihua Zhang and Minzhe Zheng (UC Berkley) discussed the 

issues existing in and possible ways to innovate with CSL textbooks and pedagogies that promote 

diversity and inclusion, such as the unconventional pedagogy of translanguaging. Ruomei Hsieh 

(UC Irvine) and Peichia Chen (UC San Diego) approached inclusive education by sharing their 

profound personal experiences in everyday life and CSL classrooms. “Discrimination is normalized 

in ordinary life and classrooms,” Ruomei Hsieh stated. Peijia Chen’s presentation focused on how 

to address gender issues in the CSL classroom. Hsieh and Chen both suggested that Chinese 

instructors consciously reflect on their 

pedagogical practices and provide a 

respectful, safe learning environment to 

students of various backgrounds. Yan Shen 

(UCLA) presented her strategies for 

conducting assessments in a remote teaching 

environment. Michelle Fu Smith (UCLA) 

shared her experience in building an 

inclusive classroom through differentiated 

instruction. Liz Carter (UCLA) showed her 

strategy for improving teacher-learner 

communication through anonymous 

feedback channels. Yan Zhou (UCLA) 

presented on how establishing ground rules 

helps to build an inclusive classroom. 

Professor Chengzhi Chu (UC Davis) 

discussed the necessity and rationale for 

including Chinese international students in 

advanced Chinese language and culture 

courses, offering another perspective on 

inclusive education in Chinese programs. 

4


In the open discussion session, the discussion centered on how to balance the needs of 

creating a safe learning environment and realizing learning the objectives of Chinese language and 

culture, which might include sensitive topics. Participants contributed various thoughts and 

possible solutions. Professor Hongyin Tao pointed out the importance of communicating with 

students about the boundaries between the technical aspects of language learning and the 

subjective sociopolitical ideologies in the target language and culture. Professor Chengzhi Chu 

highlighted the distinction between facts and opinion concerning what is authentic in the target 

language and culture and how CSL stateholders should perceive and evaluate it. Yuwen Yao 

(UCLA) reminded instructors to distinguish between students’ apparent grammatical errors and 

the underlying non-conventional identities. Xiaoxin Sun (UCLA) suggested that images of public 

figures, instead of family members, could be used to avoid making students feel uncomfortable in 

certain classroom tasks. Hsiao-Jung Yu (UC Santa Barbara) recommended using authentic 

materials such as the Chinese drama Home with Kids (!"#$) to engage students in discussions 

of diversity and equity. It was agreed among the participants that it is critical to introduce 

authentic Chinese language and culture to students and to encourage critical thinking in CSL 

classrooms, as teaching and learning a second language itself is practicing diversity, while being 

sensitive to issues on equity, diversity, and inclusivity. 

This event provided faculty and graduate teaching assistants of Chinese programs across 

the UC campuses an opportunity to share their experiences and strategies in promoting inclusive 

teaching. Participants appreciated this opportunity and expressed enthusiasm for participating in 

future events on the topic of inclusive classrooms. A proposal to form a special interest group (SIG) 

of inclusive Chinese within CLTA-USA was discussed. Another long-term project out of this 

activity is the website for inclusive Chinese related information and guidelines: 

https://inclusivecsl.humspace.ucla.edu/ 

The symposium was supported by a UCLA Humanities Division EPIC Innovation Grant 

and was led by UCLA faculty Hongyin Tao and two graduate student Co-PIs Liz Carter and Yan 

Zhou from the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA.

Performed Culture Approach: A Humanistic Way of Helping 

Learners Communicate in the Culture. American Journal of 

Chinese Studies, 27(2), 139-165. 

This collective essay presents the core theories and pedagogical practices 

of the Performed Culture Approach (PCA). Developed in the field of 

East Asian language pedagogy, PCA adopts the pedagogical device of 

scripted cultural performances to help learners incrementally and 

systematically acquire the linguistic proficiency and intercultural 

communicative competence that they need to operate and participate 

successfully in a target culture. Contributors of this collective essay 

elucidate the key cognitive and psychological theories as well as the 

humanistic motivations behind PCA, the role of pedagogical materials in 

PCA, as well as the key instructional design and pedagogical practices of PCA at various 

instructional levels.

CLTA Presence at ACTFL 2020 Virtual Convention 

CLTA’s Publicity and Media Committee: 

Zhongqi Shi, Qiaosi Yuan, Yongping Zhu 

The 2020 ACTFL Virtual Annual 

Convention and World Languages 

Expo was held from November 20th 

to 22nd. CLTA continued to help 

ACTFL as a partner with the review 

process, event promotion, and 

conference organization. Professor 

Shuai Li of Georgia State University, 

a current member of the Board of 

Directors, served as the CLTA 

program chair. CLTA President 

(Professor Yi Xu) and Executive 

Director (Professor Sue-mei Wu) 

attended the ACTFL 2020 Virtual Partners Reception on November 12th on Zoom. With 

timeslots allocated by ACTFL, this year CLTA sponsored 2 simulive sessions and 7 on-demand 

sessions to share best practices and resources in Chinese language learning and teaching. As a gold 

exhibitor, CLTA also held virtual meetings and shared promotional videos on the ACTFL virtual 

platform. 

Before the three-day convention, the ACTFL Assembly of Delegates was held on 

November 19th over Zoom. The Assembly focused on two themes: (1) diversity and 

inclusion: Putting words into Actions and (2) supporting teachers: From crisis to calm. President Yi Xu 

and Executive Director Sue-mei Wu attended these two sessions on behalf of the CLTA. Prior to 

the Assembly, the CLTA steering committee responded to ACTFL’s call for organizational selfreflection 

and shared with ACTFL our association’s examples and strategies in addressing these 

key topics, including what we have already accomplished, what is in process, and what we are 

visioning for the future. 

In preparation for the next year, Professor Shuai Li (a steering committee member) and 

Professor Yongping Zhu (the Vice President) were appointed Program Chairs to take charge of the 

review process for the 2021 ACTFL Annual Convention, which will be held on November 19-21, 

2021 in San Diego, CA. The deadline to submit a proposal for ACTFL 2021 is Friday, January 8, 

2021, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

The Acquisition of Chinese as a First and Second 

Language 

The new book, edited by Professor Xiaohong Wen, has 

been published as an e-book. 

Interested colleagues can easily download it in a PDF 

version. The book is a reprint of the special issue of the 

journal, Languages. Through highly selective and 

rigorous review processes, the volume collects eight 

empirical studies showcasing research advances in 

multiple domains. The studies are theoretically motivated 

and have adopted a wide spectrum of methodological 

strategies to achieve a broader understanding of the 

nature of the learning task and the nature of Chinese 

language acquisition. The volume is intended to bridge 

the gap between research and instruction by helping 

teachers to understand their students’ learning processes. 

Informed by research, teachers are able to opt for 

appropriate pedagogical approaches and instructional 

conditions for their students.

Essential College Chinese covers more than 100 basic grammatical points and about 800 

characters in 56 lessons, which can be learning in two academic years. The ancillary materials 

include written homework sheets and audio-recordings for listening and imitating after class. 

Computerized vocabulary flashcards and self-testing software program is also available for. 

Essential College Chinese adopts an innovative approach to the teaching of Chinese language to 

native English-speaking college students and revolutionizes the way Chinese has conventionally 

been taught. In recognition of the fact that Chinese is tonal and uses logographs in writing, it 

separates the learning of the Chinese phonetic system from that of the Chinese writing system for 

beginners, making Chinese language learning more natural, enjoyable, and effective.

Chinese Program Director (San 

Francisco, California) 

Chinese American International School 

seeks a


Chinese Program Director 

(full time, exempt) 

Is CAIS Right for You? 

The late founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, 

famously said, “It doesn’t make sense to hire 

smart people and tell them what to do; we 

hire smart people so they can tell us what to 

do.” Former US Secretary of State Hillary 

Clinton said, “When we all help each other 

out, when we stand together, we are stronger 

together.” If these sentiments resonate with 

you, then you might feel like you’ve found a 

home at CAIS. 

We are the oldest, most well-established, 

and most well-resourced Chinese immersion 

school in the US, and we want someone who 

will challenge our assumptions, make us 

rethink the way we do things, and lead us to 

become even better. Part of CAIS’s Mission 

is to “become our best selves 成为最好的⾃ 

我 .” We are searching for someone who will 

help us achieve this Mission as a school, and 

we will support this person to develop 

personally and professionally to become 

their best self at CAIS. You will succeed at 

CAIS if you are bold. 

The Challenge and The Opportunity 

Proficiency and Engagement CAIS’s 2020 

Strategic Vision, “Reimagining CAIS 重新 

构思中美 ” articulates four themes. The first 

theme is “Reimagining Immersion 重新构 

思沉浸式教学 .” Part of our rationale for 

this theme is articulated below: 

In order for students to engage in interesting 

and meaningful work in another language, 

they must develop requisite levels of 

proficiency and experience feelings of 

success. Likewise, in order for them to 

sustain their motivation and achieve high 

46 

levels of proficiency, the work they do must 

be interesting and meaningful to them. 

CAIS recognizes the critical link between 

language proficiency and engagement in 

meaningful learning. Students will thrive if 

both proficiency and engagement are 

addressed deliberately and intentionally. A 

solid foundation in listening, speaking, 

reading and writing is fundamental to 

students’ ability to work with and maintain 

interest in relevant and meaningful content. 

The next leader of our Chinese program 

must be focused on the systematic 

cultivation of both proficiency and 

engagement, recognizing that immersion 

faculty are both language and content area 

teachers. 

Thoughtful, Discerning, and Creative 

Application of Pedagogy Amidst the range 

of approaches to teaching and learning we 

may find ourselves stubbornly clinging to 

convention, uncritically accepting of 

innovation or, most likely, somewhere in the 

middle. As teachers of Chinese language in 

a US context, we need to choose, revise, and 

adapt our pedagogy based on what is the 

most effective way to move our students 

toward the proficiency and engagement 

outcomes to which we aspire. The wholesale 

and uncritical application of “best practices” 

that were originally developed for outcomes 

other than Chinese language proficiency is 

risky. Likewise, the unwillingness to let go 

of conventional approaches that may be 

outmoded for our students is also a risk. We 

are searching for a results-driven leader who 

is open to a variety of approaches and is also 

critically discerning about what works best 

for Chinese language learning. This will 

require a combination of optimism, 

skepticism, and creativity. 

Educating English Faculty About The 

Challenges and Responsibilities of Chinese 

Faculty Many (most) faculty whose primary


language of instruction is English do not 

speak, read, or write Mandarin. 

Understandably, they cannot have a full 

understanding of the challenges Chinese 

immersion teachers face as both language 

and content teachers. The Chinese Program 

Director will need to work with the English 

Curriculum Director and all faculty to 

ensure that curriculum planning accounts for 

this, and that Chinese faculty are given 

sufficient time and space to develop the 

requisite language proficiency in their 

students. 

Integrate with Other Disciplines While 

Maintaining a Language Acquisition Focus 

At CAIS we are well-known for our 

integrated curriculum. We are a highly 

collaborative school where educators work 

closely together on learning design across 

subjects and languages and with the 

community outside the school and even 

outside national borders. The Chinese 

Program Director must continue and 

enhance the collaborative, integrated nature 

of our program while protecting the central 

importance of Chinese language acquisition 

and proficiency. 

Embed the “CAIS Immersion Bonus” into 

Daily Planning and Practice A key strategy 

in our above mentioned Strategic Vision 

“Reimagining CAIS” is to “focus on 

innovative approaches to immersion aimed 

at intentionally cultivating cognitive, 

character, and intercultural competencies— 

this is the ‘CAIS Immersion Bonus.’” Our 

rationale for the CAIS Immersion Bonus is 

as follows: 

Beyond language achievement, immersion 

in Chinese language and culture should be a 

vehicle to develop students’ problem solving 

and meaning-making skills as well as foster 

perseverance, humility, curiosity, empathy, 

connection to others, and a true appreciation 

of difference. 

47 

The Chinese Program Director will be 

responsible for collaborating with faculty to 

find innovative ways to embed these 

concepts intentionally into planning and 

practice. 

The CAIS Mandarin Immersion Program 

CAIS is an independent, co-educational day 

school serving 500 students in grades 

Preschool through eight. Beginning in the 

2021-22 school year, CAIS will run a full 

immersion program in Preschool, a 50/50 

Chinese/English program in K-5 with a full 

day in Chinese every other day, and a 30/70 

Chinese/English program in 6-8 with an 

integrated, project-based curriculum. 

The CAIS faculty is highly collaborative, 

with teacher collaboration time built into the 

daily schedule each morning before classes 

begin. Chinese language teachers 

collaborate with each other and also with 

their English teaching colleagues. 

At CAIS we have a very developed program 

of formative assessment in Chinese. The 

majority of our teachers are ACTFL 

certified in administering and scoring the 

OPI (Oral Proficiency interview) and the 

WPT (Writing Proficiency Test). Each year 

all students in grades five and eight take the 

OPI, and all CAIS students in grades 1-8 

take the WPT three times each year. In 

addition, we administer other standardized 

Chinese assessments including STAMP and 

AAPPL. The data we collect from these 

assessments are used to evaluate our 

curriculum and teaching for the purpose of 

improving our program. 

CAIS employs a Global Programs 

Coordinator who organizes three large 

student trips each year during the spring. 

Our 5th grade students travel to Taiwan to 

spend two weeks with our partner school in 

Taipei, and live with host families. The


Taiwan host siblings then return to CAIS 

and live with CAIS families. Our 7th graders 

spend three weeks in Guilin, Guangxi 

Province with our partner organization there, 

living with host families and studying a 

curriculum of intensive language study in 

the morning and field work in the afternoon. 

CAIS eight graders travel to Yunnan 

Province where they focus on rural life and 

ethnic minority cultures, including a village 

home stay in a Kham Tibetan village. All 

three programs are integrated with the CAIS 

curriculum in Chinese. 

CAIS also has restricted funds dedicated to 

the China Faculty Institute (CFI), a program 

that funds CAIS faculty learning in China 

and Taiwan, through either CAIS organized 

group programs or individual travel grants. 

CAIS educators are encouraged to present at 

national conferences such as the National 

Chinese Language Conference (NCLC) and 

the annual ACTFL conference. CAIS has a 

generous professional development budget 

and each year representatives from CAIS 

attend these conferences as presenters and 

workshop leaders, often collaborating with 

educators from other immersion schools 

around the nation. CAIS has also organized 

and hosted two conferences each year, the 

Early Childhood Chinese Immersion Forum 

(ECCIF) and the Chinese Innovation Forum.
