Dear CASLAR Members:

You are all invited to the CASLAR meeting to be held at 17:50, June 14th, Thursday, RH Theatre at CASLAR-5 at the University of Hong Kong where the details of a CASLAR research initiative will be discussed.

The CASLAR Association is planning to launch a research initiative (CASRI) in order to promote the development of research projects and publications on topics that are expected to significantly support Chinese language learning and teaching. CASRI aims to bring together scholars from all over the world to work together on these projects. Special efforts will be made by CASLAR to bring Chinese and non-Chinese scholars together to work on join projects. We will start CASRI with recommending to set up six research groups headed by scholars who are internationally recognized in their respective field of study. Please look at the suggested list below. The group supervisors will be responsible for accepting project proposals, initiating projects and directing projects within the group. They can invite co-directors, assistants and contributors.

All information about the research groups will be put on the CASLAR website coordinated by Dr. Zhiqi Gong (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). If you would like to join one of the research groups, please email one of the co-directors in the given group and tell about your idea and/or research. If you are not among the participants of CASLAR-5 you can still participate in the CASRI project by contacting the supervisors of the research group of your interest. However, you should wait until the project will be finalized at the CASLAR meeting and you will receive the final description of CASRI or see it on the CASLAR website.

CASLAR is a biennial conference with the goal to bring together scholars from all over the world whose research focuses on the acquisition, development and use of Chinese as a second language to survey available knowledge in the field, exchange ideas and initiate research projects. The conference is a part of the CASLAR movement that aims to transform a field from a primarily experienced-and practice-based discipline into a discipline based on and supported by research and theory. The first CASLAR conference was held at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou in 2010, the second one was in Taipei, Taiwan in 2012, the third conference was held in Parma, Italy in 2014 and CASLAR-4 was held at East China Normal University, China in 2016.
Another means supporting the CASLAR movement is a new bilingual journal Chinese as a Second Language Research 漢語作為第二語言研究 published by De Gruyter Mouton; Berlin/New York. Copies of the journal will be available at the conference. Website of the journal:

User Rating: 0 / 5

Book Title: Explorations into Chinese as a Second Language

Editors: Kecskes, Istvan (Ed.)

Series Title: Educational Linguistics

Series Volume: 31

Publisher: Springer International Publishing

eBook ISBN: 978-3-319-54027-6

DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-54027-6

Hardcover ISBN: 978-3-319-54026-9

About this book:
This volume explores how linguistic research can support the teaching and learning of Chinese as a second language. It responds to a rapidly growing interest in the Chinese language all over the world, and answers the need for a strong research background for the discipline. Without that, Chinese language learning remains only a unique experience and/or a useful education challenge.

The first section explores crucial issues about the structure and use of Chinese as a Second Language such as word-order, noun-noun compounds, meaning-making in writing, pronunciation and stress and tone. The second section explores the learning of Chinese by seeking answer to questions about difficulties, expectations, beliefs, use of corpus and learning how to express necessity.
