 * School:** Canadian International School of Hong Kong


 * Title of Presentation:** Technology-enhanced Chinese language teaching and learning


 * Description:**

If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. According to John Cotton Dana, "Who dares to teach must never cease to learn." Hence, the 21st century teachers should be able to apply 21st century tools to their daily curriculum teaching.

In the 21st century, more and more people are learning Chinese as a second/foreign language. It's necessary to integrate innovative strategies into Chinese language teaching for fostering a fun and meaningful learning journey.

Computer software or Web 2.0 technology infusion, project-based learning and task-based language teaching approaches can facilitate more effective teaching, suit students' differentiation needs and enhance their motivation in learning Chinese as a second/foreign language as well. With well-planned tasks, students can further maximize their 21st century skills.

The presenter will share her experience and research findings in technology infusion, project-based learning and task-based language teaching in Chinese language teaching and learning.
