Meeting Description:

With rapidly growing interest in Chinese as a second language in the world, scholars and institutions involved in the study of Chinese as a second language have a very important task. They should transform a field from a discipline primarily based on experience and practice into one based on and supported by research and theory. Therefore, the goal of the conference is 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 knowledge available in the field, exchange ideas and initiate research projects. The keynote speakers will be leading national and international scholars.
