Language Studies (TCCRISLS)
Second Language Acquisition of Chinese

related to the acquisition of Chinese as a second language. To that
end, we welcome proposals in the following areas:

* Learners' output-based learning
* Learners' response to pedagogical intervention
* Learning across linguistic domains
* Characteristics of learner language and learners' developmental trajectories
* Learners' context of acquisition: classroom, naturalistic,
immersion, and study abroad

Language programs promote Chinese-Russian friendship
While tens of thousands of Chinese can sing the Russian song Katyusha,
thousands of Russian families regularly watch a Chinese teaching TV
program named "Hello, China."
The 2009 Russian Language Year organized in China the 2010 Chinese
Language Year in Russia are believed to have enhanced the interest of
the two peoples to learn each other's languages with their colorful
activities, such as speech competitions and TV programs.
