| Details | From Theory to Practice: Enhancing Inclusive L2 Chinese Language Teaching at U.S. Universities through Multimedia Pedagogy Time: 16:00-17:30, 25.06.2025 Place: KWZ 3.601 Language: Talk: Chinese Handout: English & Chinese Q&A: Bilingual (English / Chinese) Speaker: Dr. Yongli Li Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf / College of the Holy Cross (USA) Over the past two decades, shifting geopolitics, rapid technological advancements, and growing scholarship on decolonialization in applied linguistics have challenged conventional language teaching pedagogies within higher education. Transforming an inclusive, culturally sustaining, and long-term motivating pedagogy has become the center of recent scholarship. Inclusiveness in L2 language classrooms in higher education means respecting linguistically and culturally diverse students, and creating curricula and pedagogies that promote equity and raise awareness of social justice in classroom. What are the multifaceted dimensions of inclusiveness in Chinese language teaching in higher education? How can we enhance inclusive excellence when teaching diverse learners through task-based language learning and the strategic use of multimedia? In this talk, I will discuss recent English-language scholarship on inclusiveness in language teaching and reflect on my experiences teaching Chinese at the university level in the U.S. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session featuring discussions on classroom task design and sharing of teaching experiences in Europe and the U.S. Short bio Yongli Li is Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies in the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at College of the Holy Cross in the U.S. She specializes in Chinese film history, urban cinema and media industry.
