Mandarin Studies Strand Description
==== In digital schools, Mandarin teachers can use innovative ways to motivate their students to improve their language skills through the use of ICT. The Mandarin Strand will appeal to anyone interested to explore the potential of ICT to improve Chinese language acquisition. ==== ==== How can Mandarin teachers make use of existing/emerging technologies to enrich learning experiences of students? How can students be motivated to acquire a second or third language? What is the impact on teachers and students in an ICT enriched classroom? How do teachers differentiate learning in Chinese classrooms? How is digital work of different style and format being assessed? What are the research saying about integrating ICT in Mandarin? ==== ==== At the 2011 conference there were over 10 presenters from all over SE Asia who shared their experiences and best practice. Participants have brought away lots of ideas, resources, and most importantly they were able to build a professional learning network. (Click here to see the 2010-2011 Mandarin Strand Wiki) ====

This year, we have 12 presenters who are keen to share their best practice, teaching resources, or research findings to support Mandarin student learning.
