#12: One Semester of Teaching Chinese with TPRS - Part 2
On air January 6th, 2020. Recorded December 22nd, 2019.
We’re wrapping up this two-part episode on TPRS methods with an in-depth discussion on what really keeps students motivated and engaged (hint: it’s not always “culture”), how to promote language learning in cultures where second language acquisition isn’t necessarily prioritized, and why equity and access matter so much in the Chinese language classroom.
We also spend a considerable amount of time talking about the social, cultural, and linguistic challenges faced by heritage speakers, and finally address the age-old controversial question: simplified or traditional characters? (Or rather: Why is promoting one over the other inherently problematic?)
