Introduction

Immersing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into the Chinese Language classroom is not just about employing digital  learning materials or references to aid traditional teaching. More in-depth professional development is required to improve teachers’  design capacity in engendering different forms of teaching enabled or  enhanced by ICT, especially communicative approaches, socio-constructivist learning, and extending language learning beyond the  classroom. Moreover, in the context of globalisation and the 21st  century, the usage of languages in our daily lives and work  environments differs from the past centuries. It is crucial to nurture the  students’ new literacies in utilising the Chinese language for effective  communication in cyberspace, particularly in the new media  environments. We need to have a closer link to the 21st century  teaching and learning with ICT, providing the natural context for  developing the new literacies.

and materials. The topics to be covered include general learning, language learning and techno-pedagogical design theories/frameworks that may underpin CALL designs; using ICT to support teaching and learning of various linguistic skills, particularly the communicative skills; introduction - and hands-on of various online 
tools suitable for CALL designs; and the use of ICT in formative and summative Chinese Language assessments.

To meet the requirement of SkillsFuture Singapore, assessment(s) will be conducted during every course. The assessment(s) include:
