Submit Proposal 
(Proposal deadline passed. Not accepting proposals anymore)

NECLTA (The New England Chinese Language Teachers Association) is calling for proposals for presentations at its 10th annual conference. The conference will be held tentatively in person at Tufts University on Saturday, Oct. 2, 2021, but may be moved online (via Zoom) if the Covid-19 situation gets worse. If the conference will be held virtually, we will email you the links for the Zoom meeting a few days before the conference starts. We welcome proposals from K-12 public and private school teachers, Chinese school teachers, college and university educators in Chinese, graduate students, national and international scholars, and educational administrators. It is also our hope that more presentations can focus on online Chinese language teaching since this form of delivery has become the new norm of foreign language instruction. However, your presentation may address any aspect of issues in teaching and learning Chinese language and culture at various levels in different settings, including but not limited to: 

  1. teaching expansion in remote learning 
  2. enrollment and retention
  3. classroom teaching practices
  4. technology application in Chinese teaching
  5. K-12 Standards-based instruction
  6. performance-based assessments
  7. thematic unit lesson planning 
  8. reading and writing literacy development 
  9. second language acquisition of Chinese 
  10. Chinese linguistics and teaching of pronunciation, grammar, etc.
  11. teaching culture 
  12. teaching heritage students 
  13. intercultural communication
  14. study abroad
  15. others: administration, teacher training, immersion programs, etc.

Proposals should be submitted online at www.neclta.org by August 29, 2021. The direct link for submission is http://www.neclta.org/submit-proposal. Notification of acceptance decisions will be sent out through email by September 12, 2021. The maximum length of a proposal should not exceed 500 words (in English or Chinese). We will set up a poster section on the NECLTA website should we decide to accept more submissions than the space allowed, so that all participants can see your work.
