More from CELIN, the Chinese Early Language & Immersion Network

Happy Chinese New Year to you all! May the Year of the Ram bring you good health, happiness, and prosperity. 敬祝大家三羊开泰，喜气洋洋，扬扬得意!CELIN is collecting information about curricula and materials used and needed in Chinese language education, especially in early language and dual language/immersion programs. Please take a few minutes to complete our online survey. The results will be informative and helpful to the field.

Please also take a look at our list of Books and Articles about Early Language and Immersion Education. Are there resources that we might add that would be useful to you and others? We encourage you to forward this newsletter to all Chinese teachers, colleagues, administrators, or parents whom you know – it’s a great resource for anyone interested in the field.

We’re looking forward to seeing many of you at the National Chinese Language Conference in April in Atlanta, GA. In addition to breakout sessions, CELIN has organized a preconference workshop for program administrators, current and prospective: “I Love Chinese Early Language and Immersion Programs, but I Have Tons of Questions,” on Thursday, April 16 from 1–4pm. Leaders from different programs in the U.S. will describe the key features of their programs and lessons learned. There will be plenty of time for asking questions and engaging in discussions. If this interests you, sign up soon! –Shuhan Wang and Joy Peyton
