A Hybrid Approach to Teaching Chinese through Digital Humanities, CALL, and Project-Based Learning presents an exposition of current thinking, research, and best practices in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), Digital Humanities (DH), and Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL) in the context of teaching Chinese as a foreign language (TCFL).

It proposes integrating CALL and DH into PBLL to form a Digital Humanities?Augmented Technology-Enhanced Project-Based Language Learning (DATEPBLL) approach to transform student learning. By combining DH pedagogy and CALL technology with PBLL, the approach takes advantage of their synergies, which enables instructors to help students develop linguistic and cultural competency as well as 21^st century skills. Case studies and best practices from experienced Chinese language teachers are presented to demonstrate the value of the DATEPBLL approach. This is the first volume that covers all three fields and makes a strong case for the importance of incorporating CALL, DH, and PBLL for effective language learning.

Written for professionals in language education, including educators, curriculum designers and developers, graduate students, publishers, government personnel, and researchers, the book provides theoretical insights and practical applications of CALL, DH, and PBLL.

'Exciting to know that such innovations are occurring in the Chinese-language teaching world!  This volume contributes significantly to the professional language-teaching literature.'  

Fredricka L. Stoller, Emerita Professor, Applied Linguistics/TESL, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ

'This book stands out for its solidity and meticulous attention to detail. Dr. Chen skillfully weaves together theoretical insights and practical applications, providing a valuable resource that is both comprehensive and accessible to language educators and researchers alike.'

Yong Ho, Author of Aspects of Discourse Structure in Mandarin Chinese, Former Head of Chinese Program, UN

'By seamlessly blending the latest research in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Digital Humanities (DH), this book serves as a comprehensive guide for educators seeking to enhance the Project-based Learning (PBL) approach when teaching foreign languages in general and Chinese in particular.'

Artem Kalyanov, CALL Researcher, DLIFLC, Monterey, CA
