Silicon Valley, May 2, 2024 - Asia Society Northern California and Asia Society Education co-host the 17th National Chinese Language Conference (NCLC)! NCLC provides a high-profile platform for sharing new ideas and best practices in the fields of Chinese language teaching and learning, Chinese arts and culture, and international education exchange. The theme of this year's conference is “Mandarin Education in a Transformative Era” with a special focus on reimagining education with the emergence of A.I.
Linda Egnatz, President of the Joint National Committee for Languages, opens the section. Margaret Peterson, Executive Director of the California World Language Project, moderates the panel. Featured speakers include Ying Jin, Executive Director of CLASS and teacher at Cupertino High School; Ann Jordan, Advocacy Chair of CA Language Teachers Association; and Eddie Park, Director of Global Languages and Innovative Programs at Poway Unified School District.
Egnatz opens by introducing JNCL’s most recent national advocacy initiative, which includes three acts that will allow the U.S. government to better assess its world language programs and create teacher pipelines. The panel then discusses how educators can successfully advocate for world languages in schools by building allies and support networks within school communities. Finally, panelists discuss what they have learned from each other, underscoring the importance for language teachers to speak up for themselves and get a seat at the table in decision making.
