Summaries 摘要Friday 26 June 6月26日（星期五)：

Opening Plenary: Reflections on Different Learning Styles and the Teaching of Mandarin Dan Li-Dunford, University of Bath (E)

Summary: “Learning by rote and chanting in the classroom does not work for me as I can do it by myself”. A British adult learner

“To me, teaching Chinese is more or less like cooking for different age groups with different tastes. How the food I cook can be tasty and digested well by all of my learners is always essential to my lesson preparation and teaching”. Dan Li-Dunford, Lecturer and Trainer

The talk will include a comparative analysis on the characteristics of British students’ learning preferences and the philosophy of teaching that the British Education system promotes. We will also explore your own learning style, and explain how this can influence your teaching strategies, create an interactive learning environment and make your teaching both interesting and effective.

Dan Li-Dunford is the course leader for the “Teaching Across Cultures” and “Doing Business with the Chinese” courses run by the University of Bath Foreign Languages Centre. She trained as an English Teacher and later went on to complete both an MBA and a PGCE in Secondary Business Education. Dan has taught Mandarin Chinese at all levels and age groups and is now a specialist trainer in cross-cultural teaching, learning and inter-cultural communication.

主会场发言: 汉语的不同学习方式及其教学巴斯大学 Dan Li-Dunford (E)

简介 “死记硬背、课堂上机械诵读的方式对我来说纯属浪费时间 - 那个我自己都能做。”——位英国成人学者

“ 对我而言，教中文就像是根据不同年龄段的口味去做不同的菜肴 : 如何能把食物做得既美味、又能够让所有的学生易于消化，是我备课和教学的重点。” ——讲师、培训师 Dan Li-Dunford

本发言将对英国学生的学习特点和在英国教育体制下的教学理念进行对比分析。我们还将探究你个人的学习风格，以及它如何影响你的教学策略，从而帮助你营造一个互动性强的学习环境，使你的教学既有趣又有效。

Dan Li-Dunford是英国巴斯大学外国语言中心“跨文化培训”及“与中国人的商务交往”课程的主讲。她原为英文教师，后来获得中等商务教育的MBA和PGCE（教育学研究生证书）学位。Dan有着针对不同水平、不同年龄段学生因材施教的丰富的中文教学经验，现为跨文化培训与跨文化交流的专业培训师。

The Role of Translation in CLT Dr. Song Lianyi, SOAS (C)

Summary: The translation grammar method is associated with an old and traditional approach of teaching foreign languages. However, it would be wrong for us to reject something simply because it is old and traditional and because new or newer methods have been available. I would like to explore ways in which translation, both ways, may be used more imaginatively and effectively in teaching Chinese. I would also like to introduce the concept of mediation in the discussion in relation to the application of the Common European Framework of Languages (CEFR): teaching, learning and assessment in CLT.

Song Lianyi is principal teaching fellow in Chinese at SOAS, University of London, where he has taught for over 20 years. He was the chairman of the British Chinese Language Teaching Society (BCLTS) between 2003 and 2005. His research covers Chinese language pedagogy, language assessment, teaching material development, etc.

翻译在汉语教学中的作用伦敦大学亚非学院宋连谊博士(C)

简介语法翻译法是一个历史最久的传统的外语教学方法。不过我们不能仅因其形式“陈旧”而将其拒之门外，而一味采用更为新潮的教学法。在这次的讲演展示过程中，我将试图探讨较为有效和有趣的中英/英中互译教学形式。同时，我也希望引入《欧洲共同语言参考框架》中“中介”活动的理念，并结合翻译法讨论该理念在中文教学中的应用。

宋连谊博士系伦敦大学亚非学院资深中文教师，获伦敦大学语言教学博士学位。他在英从事中文教学20多年，曾任英国汉语教学研究会会长。他的主要研究领域是教学法、汉语测试及教材研发。


Friday 26 June 6月26日（星期五)：

Interactive Computer Marked Assignments (iCMAs) Project, OU Dr. Kan Qian, Open University (E)

Summary: This presentation reports on a group project which evaluates the effectiveness and perceived benefits of Interactive Computer Marked Assignments (iCMAs) for formative assessment on beginners’ language modules at The Open University (OU).

I will briefly report the findings of the project to provide a better understanding of the way students use iCMAs, so that it will allow course designers to improve the student experience and facilitate the further embedding of iCMAs into language teaching and learning.

The focus of the presentation will be on how the beginners’ Chinese module uses iCMAs for formative assessment. I will use examples to illustrate the differences between summative and formative assessment; the differences between assessing receptive skills and productive skills; comparing traditional question types for assessing receptive skills with iCMA question types; the importance of feedback; and finally the perceived benefits of iCMAs by the students.

Dr. Kan Qian is Lecturer in Chinese and Head of Chinese in the Department of Languages at The Open University (UK); Director of Studies in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Christ’s College, University of Cambridge; and Council Member of the British Association for Chinese Studies.

初级外语学生对形成性测试互动电脑评分作业感觉到的收获开放大学阚茜博士 (E)

简介这篇发言汇报开放大学的一个小组研究项目。此项目评估开放大学初级外语课程利用互动电脑评分作业(iCMAs)作为形成性测试的有效性以及学生感觉到的收益。我将简要汇报研究结果以便我们更好地了解学生是如何运用iCMAs的，从而使得课程设计者完善互动电脑评分作业(iCMAs)，让学生的学习旅程更愉快。

发言的重点是初级中文课程如何运用互动电脑评分作业(iCMAs)作为形成性测试的。我会举例说明阶段性测试与形成性测试之区别、测试接收技能和产出技能之区别,并对比传统听力阅读与电脑评分作业在题型和反馈上的区别；最后汇报学生对iCMAs感觉到的收获。

阚茜博士现任英国开放大学现代语言系中文讲师、中文教研组组长；并兼任剑桥大学基督学院亚洲及中东专业指导主任和英国汉学学会理事会会员。

Teaching Chinese for Professional Purposes: Plan and Practice Dr. Zhu Zhu, University of Edinburgh (C)

2015年6月26 日–6月27日




Comparing Teaching Approaches in Mainland China, Taiwan and the UK: A Student’s Perspective Nicola Dean, Newcastle University (E)

Summary: This talk will focus on first-hand experiences as a student of Mandarin Chinese in three different teaching locations: Newcastle University in the UK, Xinjiang Normal University in Mainland China, and the Chinese Language Centre at National Chengchi University in Taiwan. According to my experience and observations, the teaching and learning style promoted and used in these three environments was very different, each with respective advantages and disadvantages. I will suggest that a holistic approach combining the advantageous aspects of these styles could present the most effective way of learning and teaching Mandarin Chinese.

Nicola Dean is currently working as a self-employed freelance copy-editor and Chinese-English translator. She also conducts research into the politics of China, and is working on publishing a co-written book later this year. She graduated with BA Hons in Modern Languages from Newcastle University and an MA in Diplomacy from National Chengchi University in Taiwan. She will soon graduate with an MA in Chinese Translating and Interpreting from Newcastle University.

从学生视角比较中国大陆、台湾和英国的教学方法纽卡斯尔大学 Nicola Dean (E)

简介本发言将分享发言者在三地学习汉语的第一手体会，这三地分别是英国纽卡斯尔大学、中国新疆师范大学和台湾国立政治大学华语文教学中心。根据发言者自己的体会与观察，这三个环境下的教学和学习风格是非常不同的，各有优、缺点；相信整合各自的优点，将有助于形成中文教学的更有效方法。

Nicola Dean 是一名从事文字编辑和中英文翻译的自由职业者，并对中国政治有所研究，且有一本相关的合著图书将于今年出版。她在纽卡斯尔大学获得现代外文学士学位，在台湾国立政治大学获外交硕士学位；目前正在纽卡斯尔大学攻读中文笔译与口译专业，即将获得硕士学位。

Increasing Inclusivity in the Teaching and Learning of Chinese Dr. Wendy Che, Oxford University | Oxford Brookes University (C)

Summary: Today, many universities in the UK are offering Chinese language courses to their students and staff. The range of these courses is from the basic to advanced levels, and accommodates learners who are from different backgrounds, e.g. different subject areas, different mother-tongues, different learning experiences and styles, or different learning purposes. Under these circumstances teachers are challenged to design and implement all-inclusive teaching and learning strategies that enable students from these diverse groups to achieve their learning objectives. This talk will focus on the discussion of using a learning-centred approach in a variety of teaching settings, the strategies used to increase learning, and moving students towards established goals through the lens of diversity and inclusivity.

Dr. Wendy Che is a senior fellow of British Higher Education Academy, a tutor at the Language Centre in Oxford University and an associate lecturer at English and Modern Languages at Oxford Brookes University. She formerly taught at the University of Warwick and has 20 years of experience teaching intercultural communication, business culture and Chinese.

增加汉语教学的包容性牛津大学|牛津布鲁克斯大学车文兵博士(C)

简介今天，很多大学都为他们的学生和教工开设了中文课程。这些课程的范围涵盖了从初级到高级，也照顾到了来学习学生的不同背景，如不同专业、不同母语、不同学习经历、不同学习习惯、不同学习目的等。在这种情况下，面对挑战，教师不得不设计和采用能够包容所有学生的教学策略和方法，从而使得学生能完成他们的学习目标。这个谈话将聚焦于多样性与包容性，重点讨论在不同教学设置下以学生为重心的教学方法、提升学生学习能力的策略，最终使得大多数学生达到既定目标。

Using Blended Learning to Prepare Students for Study-abroad in China Dr. Lan Lo and Dr. Neil Hughes, University of Nottingham (E)

Summary: The objective of this presentation is to look at how blended learning can be used to prepare British university students for study abroad in China. With its rich traditions and culture, and a fast growing economy, China has become a popular destination for international students. The University of Nottingham (UoN) now has campuses in China and Malaysia, and prepares students to take part in a year abroad programme. This preparation has some key challenges: what life and academic skills are needed for studying abroad; what specific language is needed; how can students prepare for day-to-day life in China. The presenter will provide examples of how blended learning has been used effectively to meet these challenges, and share students’ feedback and reflections on the process of preparing for study abroad.

Dr. Lan Lo is currently teaching Mandarin in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies (CLAS) at the University of Nottingham. She has co-authored a short book and journal papers on migrant workers in the UK as part of her PhD research, as well as articles on teaching Mandarin.

Applying Cognitive Linguistics in the Teaching of Chinese as a Second Language Huang Dian, University of Westminster (C)

Summary: One of the cognitive processes is embodiment, such as gestures. Embodied cognition helps us to see and feel an abstract concept. Information stored in our long-term memory is in form of images. Utilizing embodiment is one possible way to illustrate grammar rules and phrase structures – that is to use images and gestures to establish a link between the physical and the mental world. The objective is to help students memorize and produce the correct language. In my presentation, I will focus on the following:

1 How to explain grammar structures and vocabulary usage by relating them to images and gestures.

2 How to help busy learners beginning Chinese language and enhance understanding, retention and the ability to use the language in the real world.

Huang Dian started teaching Chinese language at the University of Westminster, London, UK in 1988. She is the Coordinator of Coordinator of Chinese in the University-wide Taught Language Programme of the University of Westminster. She was a Committee Member and Chair of the British Chinese Language Teaching and Learning Society (BCLTS) from 2006 to 2009, and was an executive committee member of the Universities China Committee in London (UCCL) from 2009 to 2013.

运用认识语言学促进中文作为第二语言的教学威斯敏斯特大学黄甸 (C)

简介人的认识过程之一,是通过人体化 (embodiment)比如手势。化身认知有助于我们看到、感受到抽象的概念。信息是以图像储存在我们的长期记忆之中的，所以化身有可能通过图像和手势帮助我们说明语法规则和词汇结构，这样能建立实际世界和我们的心理世界之间的联系，目的是帮助记忆、正确地使用语言。在我的演讲之中，我将着重解释以下两个方面：

1如何通过图像和手势把语法结构和词汇用法与我们自身的身体感觉联系起来并加以说明;

2如何帮助学习任务繁重的学生在初学阶段能够入门，从而达到能够更好地理解、记住并在实际生活之中有能力正确地使用中文语法和词汇。

黄甸从1988年起任教于英国伦敦威斯敏斯特大学，曾担任现代语言系中文专业主任，现任大学语言课程中文学科负责人。黄甸曾于2006年至2009年担任过英国汉语教学学会 (BCLTS) 委员会成员及会长，2009至2013年担任过英国大学伦敦中国委员会 (UCCL) 执行成员。

Fun, Mayhem and Task-based Learning in the Pursuit of Promoting Languages Andrew Grenfell, Newcastle University (E)

Summary: The Routes into Languages programme was funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. Under the programme, a number of regional consortia were established where groups of universities worked together, with schools and colleges, to enthuse and encourage people to study languages. The Newcastle strand produces the Linguacast website and Linguacast days. Linguacast is a podcast language learning website and home to The Angry Family. It hosts an extensive range of quality language learning videos for pupils learning Chinese in the North East of England and anywhere in the world. All the materials were made at Newcastle University and recorded using native speakers. The content is often a little whacky to capture pupils’ interest during lessons but strictly conforms to AQA and Edexcel syllabi for KS-4 and above. These materials are free for all to use with no logins required.

Andrew Grenfell has worked in the EFL/ESL sector since 1988 in both teaching and management in France, Ireland and the UK. Today he is the Open Learning Resources Manager for the school of Modern Languages at Newcastle University. In this role, he is responsible for the award-winning Language Resource Centre and the teaching and learning resources of the School of Modern Languages; including the translation and interpreting programmes facilities and the UWLP.

Andrew has been strand leader for Newcastle University’s Routes into Language programme since its start nine years ago. Andrew is also the Teaching and Learning SiG convenor for the AULC.

First Lessons with Absolute Beginners: How to Start from Zero Dr. Zhu Zhu, University of Edinburgh (C)

Summary: The most difficult obstacle to cross is the threshold. The first lessons that beginners take are vital in terms of their confidence-building and searching for efficient angles to approach the language. This is even more so when one attempts to learn a language that seems so remote and different from one’s mother tongue.

This workshop is designed to work with Chinese language teachers who teach absolute beginners aged 16 and over. This workshop takes an interactive approach by engaging teachers in actively seeking answers to a number of vital questions relating to what to teach in the first lessons with beginners, and more importantly, how to do so. This workshop aims to help the teachers with the design of their class materials and also to suggest effective techniques to deliver the contents so that the learners are introduced to the Chinese language in a fun, smooth, efficient and stress-free way. Key questions to be discussed include how to put students at ease in the very first class, how to teach pinyin, how to introduce Chinese characters, how to keep classes moving at a good pace, and how to organise in-class and after-class exercises.

Dr. Zhu Zhu is Chinese Language Programme Director at the University of Edinburgh, overseeing Chinese language provision across the University. She directs the curriculum development of Chinese language courses at both UG and PG levels as well as the design and revision of Chinese language courses for the general public. Zhu has extensive experience in training Chinese language teachers as well as in teaching language classes at ab initio to advanced levels. She is also an active researcher in the fields of Second Language Acquisition and Translation Studies.

中文入门课：如何从零开始？爱丁堡大学朱珠博士(C)

Teaching Listening Dede Wilson, Freelance Trainer (E)

Summary: Listening is a key skill to language learning but too often is ignored. Teachers tend to avoid it for various reasons. They may be unsure about how to teach it, or have materials or equipment that is old.

For students not developing this skill means they may not recognize what people say. It affects confidence. The classroom provides the only exposure to hearing language spoken so can mean the difference between continuing to learn Chinese or dropping out.

This practical workshop aims to focus on how to develop the skill effectively. It will consider student problems, motivation and methodology for different types of listening and supplementing course books with fun personalized activities.

听力教学自由培训师 Dede Wilson (E)

简介听力是语言学习的一项关键技能，却也是常常被忽视的一项技能。听力技能被忽视的原因是多方面的：或许是教师不确定应该如何教，也或许是因为教学材料和设备太过陈旧。

而学生如果不提高听力技能，意味着他们听不懂别人在说什么，这无疑会影响他们学习的信心。课堂是学生唯一能够听到所学语言被讲出来的场所，因此也会成为决定他们是继续学习中文、还是放弃学习的关键。

本工作坊旨在探究如何有效提升听力技能，包括探讨学生面对的学习问题和学习动机、不同听力水平的教学，以及如何针对教材补充有趣的、个性化的课堂听力活动。

Dede Wilson 是ELT教学顾问和教师培训师。她曾任剑桥ELT课程导师和技术顾问多年，并负责一项成人外语教学OCR证书培训的课程。
