1. Background and Purposes 论坛背景和宗旨
The International Forum on Linguistics and Chinese Education (IFOLCE) is organized as an annual conference dedicated to exploring and promoting application of the latest linguistic research findings to the field of Teaching Chineseas a Second Language. The establishment of IFOLCE originally resulted from a joint effort of a group of colleagues in the field from eight universities in the United States, Beijing, and Hong Kong. Debuting in 2015, the IFOLCE annual forum has been held rotationally among the five locations with each having two co-organizers. IFOLCE-1 was held at University of California at Davis (co-organizer Columbia University), IFOLCE-2 at Beijing Language and Culture University (co-organizer Peking University), IFOLCE-3 at Notre Dame University (co-organizer Princeton University), IFOLCE-4 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (co-organizer Stanford University), and IFOLCE-5 at Columbia University (co-organizer UC-Davis). IFOLCE-6 will be held in person at Stanford University with two co-organizers, the Chinese Language Teachers Association of California (CLTAC) and City University of Hong Kong.
It has been recognized for a long time that linguistic studies play an important role in second language teaching. As observed in the great tradition pioneered by Prof. Yuen Ren Chao and others, Chinese L2 teaching should be placed on a solid basis of Chinese linguistics. With such an understanding, IFOLCE is intended to serve as a premier forum, inviting scholars from around the world to exchange their latest research insights on new advances in linguistic studies to enhance our work in Teaching Chinese a Second Language. The theme of this conference is Traditions and Innovations in Linguistic Research and Chinese Teaching.
“语言学与汉语教学国际论坛（IFOLCE）”是一个旨在提倡以坚实的语言学研究为基础促进与提升汉语二语教学的学术交流平台。论坛于 2015 年由美国、中国大陆和香港地区八所大学的有关同仁共同发起，轮流举行，每届由两所大学共同承办。2015-2019年，已分别在加州大学戴维斯分校（与哥伦比亚大学合办）、北京语言大学（与北京大学合办）、圣母大学（与普林斯顿大学合办）、香港中文大学（与斯坦福大学合办）和哥伦比亚大学（与加州大学戴维斯分校合办）成功举办五届。第六届论坛将于2023年5月在斯坦福大学线下举行，由斯坦福大学、加州中文教师协会与香港城市大学共同承办。
将汉语作为第二语言和外语的教学建立于扎实的语言学研究之上，将语言学的先进研究成果转化应用于汉语教学之中，是提升汉语教学水准和品质之所必需，也是以赵元任先生为代表的现代汉语语言学与汉语教学开拓者所确立的优秀传统。“语言学与汉语教学国际论坛”诚邀各国同行先进共同发扬这一传统，交流新知，分享卓见，携手推动汉语二语教学学科的不断发展。
