Hello and Welcome!
This is the website from the project “Teaching LCTLs in K-12 Schools,” which was supported by a grant from the Title VI Language Resource Center, CERCLL, at the University of Arizona.
The themes here were developed from surveys and interviews involving 221 K-12 Chinese language teachers from across the United States. The resource page is designed for teacher trainers and novice teachers alike to identify various kinds of professional development opportunities and teaching materials. We hope you will find the information useful! Please contact Dr. Wenhao Diao (wdiao@arizona.edu) if you have any additional questions/comments about this website or the project.
