yong zhao: technology and learning chinese (x7)
DESCRIPTION
Language learning cannot and should not be confined to the classroom. Instead, language learners should be provided the opportunity to be exposed to rich and authentic language and cultural materials, to practice in authentic interactions, and to receive feedback that is personalized. Participants of this session will learn how technology can be used to construct a rich language learning environment for Chinese language learners.TRANSCRIPT
