Project 2010-2014: Blended Learning and Teacher Training Modules Focusing on Pre-verbal Particles in Mandarin

Objectives:This project will develop a pedagogical grammar of selected preverbal particles in Mandarin Chinese and design multi-media modules for students in blended learning environments. It will also create professional development materials for teachers that inform on the relationship between grammar, discourse, and interaction in teaching and learning Chinese as a foreign language.
