The ISF Academy Bilingual Program by Dr. Levi Xiaogang Gao
In the macro context of international education which is dominated by English, how to continuously develop a high standard of students' Chinese language proficiency and increase their Chinese cultural awareness has been a huge challenge for many. Limited resources, time constraints as well as the need to realistically consider Western college admission requirements has often hampered our efforts. The ISF Academy of Hong Kong adapted a multi-level approach to counter these difficulties. In making bilingualism a centerpiece of the school culture, we changed our operation both structurally and academically. Many language and culture immersive programs with interconnective natures were established and started to attract students. A new day to day school culture has gradually formed. In order to do one big thing we must do many small things – this is the strategy we derived in practice to face the challenges of bilingual education.

Assessment Objective and Task Design for Chinese as a Second Language Programme | 中文第二语言课程评估目标和任务设计 by Huiling Yu
Assessment task design has never been easy for teachers of Chinese as a second or additional language. Learning and assessment objectives usually set a high standard for students in terms of creative and critical thinking or higher-order thinking skills. On the other hand, teachers may struggle to ensure the assessment reliability and validity as students’ language proficiency is limited. There are different approaches with regard to assessment task design across major international language programmes. This talk aims to evaluate the practices of in an attempt to better understand the situation that Chinese teachers are facing and find possible solutions. 对于中文作为第二语言或其他语言的教师来说，设计评估任务不是件容易事。 学习和评估目标通常设置高标准，以求达到创造性和批判性思维之高度，培养高阶思维技能。 另一方面，由于学生的语言能力有限，教师可能难以确保评估的信度和效度。主要国际语言课程设计评估任务有不同的方法。本讲座旨在审视不同的评估实践模式，以更好地了解中文教师所面临的情况并找到可能的解决方案。

What Does a Classroom Look Like in a Distance Learning Environment? | 远程学习下中的中文教室 by Shengnan (Penny) Ma
Patrick Goertz (2015) discussed the 10 signs of a 21st century classroom, which is a good read for educators to reflect on their teaching at this challenging time. One of the signs is technology integration, which involves more than just use of technology, but students using technology to achieve goals in a different way that was impossible before. Meanwhile, there are many factors teachers need to consider when moving into distance learning and technology integration. Network issues, training for students and teachers equipment, social emotional learning needs. In this presentation, I will introduce and demonstrate other alternatives such as Microsoft Office 365, Apple Education Application, Book Creator, and SeeSaw to facilitate Chinese learning and teaching in a distance learning environment.
