Meeting Description:

CASLAR is a biennial conference with the goal to bring together
scholars from all over the world whose research focuses on the

that aims to transform a field from a primarily experienced-and
practice-based discipline into a discipline based on and supported by
research and theory. Another means supporting the CASLAR movement is a
bilingual journal Chinese as a Second Language Research 漢語作為第二語言研究
