CLTA-SC Successfully Hosts Post-Wildfire Chinese Teaching and Support Sharing Session
On January 15, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM (PST), the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Southern California (CLTA-SC) successfully hosted a Post-Wildfire Chinese Teaching and Support Sharing Session. The event attracted many Chinese teachers, from public and private schools, providing them with timely and practical support during this challenging period. Despite the tight schedule, the session was packed with valuable insights and practical strategies, making it a highly rewarding experience for all participants.
The session featured Mr. Bin He from Harvard-Westlake School and Ms. Fei Li from Marlborough School as keynote speakers. Drawing from their extensive teaching experience, they provided in-depth discussions on curriculum design after the wildfire, classroom activity sharing, and psychological support for both teachers and students. Their presentations offered numerous actionable teaching strategies, which teachers found immensely helpful in navigating their post-wildfire teaching environments.
Teachers also had a whole-hearted discussion on the integration of Chinese New Year celebrations into lesson planning, after the wildfire, with more sensitivity. This topic sparked enthusiastic exchanges, with teachers sharing their school’s practices and exploring ways to make cultural activities more educational and interactive.
Many participants expressed heartfelt gratitude to CLTA-SC, emphasizing that this session was truly a “lifeline,” offering much-needed support at a critical time. Additionally, it provided a valuable platform for educators to engage in meaningful discussions on pressing teaching concerns. Teachers collectively agreed that the Chinese teaching community must remain closely connected, offering mutual support and collaboration to foster growth and development.
Moving forward, CLTA-SC will continue to organize similar events, providing ongoing opportunities for Chinese educators to exchange ideas and grow together. We warmly invite more teachers to join and share their expertise! If you are interested in contributing your experiences in future events or have any suggestions, please reach out to us. Together, we can strengthen and advance the field of Chinese education!

| 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. |

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. |
