Conclusion<br />
As shown through the presentation of the different experiences of the Flat Stanley project<br />
and our proposal of the FSP in <strong>Chinese</strong> -English Bilingual education, the pedagogy of “The Flat<br />
Stanley Project” has the potential to assist teachers in teaching students’ <strong>Chinese</strong> language<br />
through multimodal communication and show them the geographical characteristics of places<br />
such as Taiwan that otherwise they would not be able to know in person. Moreover, “The Flat<br />
Stanley Project Pedagogy” provides young learners with a theme-based and contextualized<br />
learning environment and allows them to have fun in learning L2 and exploring culture with a<br />
character they will enjoy. CFL teachers can follow the examples we provided in the cultural<br />
triangle and scaffold “the relationships among the 3Ps” for their FL students in a CFL classroom,<br />
and apply the FSP as a teaching tool to help students gain cross-cultural experiences and<br />
motivation in learning <strong>Chinese</strong>.<br />
