Course Description
This course is designed for graduate and undergraduate students who are current or future Chinese language educators. We will review different approaches and methods for language teaching in general, while focusing on specific issues related to Chinese pedagogy (e.g., the orthography system, Chinese heritage speakers, and teaching culture through language). It specifically aims to prepare the students to teach the Chinese language in the school setting in the US. Therefore, it highlights an integrated approach and emphasizes techniques to create a communicative, interactive, and effective language classroom. The course will also provide ways of incorporating technologies and the social media for Chinese pedagogical purposes, and help the students to become a lifelong learner through practices such as peer observation and teaching reflections. All students enrolled in this course are expected to have completed at least the advanced level Chinese language courses (or the equivalent).
