General Information: Universities in Hong Kong will enter a new era when the 4-year curriculum starts in 2012. As part of the whole-person education approach under the new curriculum, various issues related to language proficiency for all students will need to be explored and clarified. As the first academic seminar of its kind, the focus for this event will be on four major issues in teaching Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) for university students, with special reference to Putonghua. Key players in the field from local universities as well as those in universities elsewhere will be invited to share their views on various issues related to CSL teaching from their perspectives. The organizer and co-organizers envision that, by providing such a platform for academic discussion, CUHK as an institute of high learning will contribute to the promotion of Chinese language and culture among students and practitioners in Hong Kong.

Format and Participants: This is a one-day seminar, mainly participated by professionals, teachers and graudate students involved in CSL teaching and learning. Each of the 4 keynote speakers will have a presentation on one key area in CSL, including assessment, curriculum design, teaching materials and teacher training. Representatives from local and regional institutions will be grouped into 3 sessions and given time to share their ideas and practices, with follow-up Q&A and comments. A round-table discussion by invited guests focusing on trends and directions is scheduled at the end of the seminar.
