Centre for Research on Chinese Language and Education

Vision & Mission

Vision

The Centre for Research on Chinese Language and Education (CRCLE) aims to combine expertise in the studies of Chinese linguistics and that in the teaching and learning of Chinese language both as the first and a second language to achieve mutually beneficial development between Chinese language and education. CRCLE has its particular significance against the current multilingual background of Hong Kong in response to the growing interest in Chinese language internationally.

We have the following objectives:

To undertake scientific research in the areas of Chinese language and education, including L1 and L2 Chinese learning and teaching.
To synergize research efforts and to create critical mass among colleagues within EdUHK and researchers in Greater China.
To disseminate Chinese language and education research to regional academia through publications, seminars, conferences and workshops.
To provide an international platform for collaboration with global key players and for maintaining contacts with local partner schools and other end-users, within the ambit of Chinese language and education.
