| 工作坊1: 9:00-12:00 pm 艺术在中文课堂的呈现 Workshop 1: The Presentation of Artwork in the Chinese Classroom Jiabei Li (Mark Twain Middle School) & Frances Fu (Horace Mann School) | From notes to rhyme, from lines to patterns, practical lesson plans are used: poetry creation, all-around iBook, making short music videos, integrating art into Chinese courses; there are also examples of using The Differentiator and Koala. 从音符到韵律，从线条到图案，用实际教案: 诗歌创作，全方位iBook，制作音乐短视频，将艺术融入中文课程；同时也有运用The Differentiator以及Koala的实例说明。 | Presentation language: Chinese and/or English Cost: $50 Register from the Day1 link above. |
| 工作坊2: 9:00-12:00 pm 语法与字本位词法工作坊 Workshop 2: Chinese Lexicon & Grammar Pedagogy Yuwen Yao (UCLA) & Hsin-fu Chiu (Cal State LA) | 在對外漢語教學中，語法為重中之重，但卻出現忽略字詞教學的現象。一般不是擔心學生的負擔太重，就是過於依賴詞彙表，到底字詞教學是負擔與學習阻礙，抑或 是助力？如何定位字詞教學與對待之，需要我們重新思考。語法教學的目的旨在為幫助學習者 做語言知識的轉換，能順利將「陳述性 (declarative) 知識」應用成為「程式性 (procedural) 知 識」。 隨著學習者知識轉換過程的進行，教學策略得適時調整改變，這樣也才能實踐「語意優先、聚焦形式 (focus-on-form) 教學法」的精神。本語法工作坊將以樣本教案分享初、中級語法 教學和操作。 | Presentation language: Chinese Cost: $50 Register from the Day1 link above. |
1:00-3:00 pm – 多読-What? Why? and How? Workshop 3: Extensive Reading – What? Why? and How? Yuka Kumagai (USC) | What is 多読-Extensive Reading for the language learners? USC has been offering “Extensive Reading in Japanese I & II” courses since 2013. Based on this 10-year experience, this workshop introduces how to incorporate Extensive Reading in the language curriculum. We will talk about the teachers’ role, benefit for the students, the actual course plans, the appropriate reading materials, as well as foreseeable issues. In small groups, the participants will try to create level-appropriate reading materials by rewriting famous stories. | Presentation language: English Cost: $40 Register from the Day1 link above. |
| 工作坊4: 1:00-4:00 pm 针对AP 六大课程主题之内容本位教材编纂：以“吃”为例 Workshop 4: CBI approach to AP 6 Themes Material Developments: Using “Chinese Culinary” as Example Ying Jin (Cupertino High School) & Ying Zhang (Montgomery Bell Academy) | AP六大主题对很多中文项目的课程设计起着引导的作用。如何甄选并利用相关的真实语料，设计各种有效，有深度的教学活动，打开学生的眼界，同他们一起探索大千世界，是大家共同面临的挑战。民以食为天，本次工作坊将为与会者展示如何将“吃”这个题目有机地贯穿于AP六大主题中，如何带领学生通过“吃”了解社会，理解历史，思考挑战，找寻自我。 | Presentation language: Chinese Cost: $50 Register from the Day1 link above. |
| 工作坊5: 5:00-8:00pm 任务教学的新思考: 任务分解在任务教学中的重要性 Workshop 5: Rethinking TBLT: The Role of Deconstructed Tasks in TBLT. Hong Gang Jin (Hamilton College) | 任务教学是二语教学领域的一个主流教学方法，尽管如此，其方法论上仍有 一些断层、空白之处，值得完善、改进。本工作坊旨在任务教学设计原则的基础上，提出一个新的任务教学课堂模式，即“任务分解教学”。这一教学法强调任务教学不能以整体任务为唯一的教学单位，而需要将任务分解为学习者可操作、可学习的三个内在单位：1）有任务内容的语言、交际要素，即任务要素(task essentials); 2） 实施任务的基本框架，即任务框架(task framework); 3）携带不同沟通模式的真实任务 (authentic tasks)。本工作坊将使用多个项目教师的实际教学设计案例，向听众展示任务分解教学的三个具体步骤：即设标、达标、验标。除此而外，本报告还将提供完成三个教学步骤的八个课堂任务教学程序（如设标时使用的话题/任务组织图程序、为达标设计的三套教学程序：任务要素的选择、呈现、实施， 任务框架的两类活动设计， 真实任务的操作流程整理，验标时使用的评估验证程序等），最后将展示四套实用的教学技巧：即课堂4单设计：1）任务要素提问互动单，2）任务框架活动单，3）真实任务操作单，4）任务评估单 (最后一部分取决于工作坊时间是否允许)。 | Presentation language: Chinese Cost: $50 Register from the Day1 link above. |
