International Chinese Language Education Communications (ICLEC) is a fully peer-reviewed international journal published by Clifford Media International. It is the sister journal of International Journal of Chinese Language Teaching. ICLEC publishes biannually both original empirical research and systematic review studies on teaching and learning Chinese as a first and foreign language at all education levels. The journal accepts submissions written in English or Chinese.

The journal welcomes contributions in the following areas, but not limited to: Chinese linguistics; processing of Chinese as a first and second language; translation and interpreting studies; curriculum design and development; teaching methodology; teacher professional development; language and culture; language and society; language testing and evaluation; language planning and policy; multilingualism and multilingual education; information technology and language education.

《国际中文教育通讯》由Clifford媒体国际出版、发行和运营，是《国际汉语教学学报》的姊妹刊，主要刊发运用当代语言学理论研究汉语语言本体和汉语教学的研究论文，具体包括以下方面（但不限于）：

1、汉语本体研究，包括现代汉语文字、语音、词汇、语法和语篇研究等；

2、汉语教学研究，包括教学材料设计和开发、教学法、教师发展、汉语作为第二语言的习得、语言测试与评估、语言政策、语言与文化、科技与语言教育等。

ICLEC cordially invites manuscript submissions all year round that explore the intersection of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and L2 Chinese language learning and teaching. Specifically, we seek contributions that address the following topics (but not limited to):

1. Enhancing L2 Chinese Language Acquisition, Production, and Performance with GenAI: Investigate how GenAI tools can augment the process of acquiring, producing, and performing L2 Chinese language skills.

2. Facilitating L2 Chinese Language Skills through GenAI: Explore the potential of GenAI in facilitating various aspects of L2 Chinese language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

3. Impact of GenAI on Learner Motivation, Perception, and Attitude: Examine the influence of GenAI on learner motivation, perception, and attitude towards L2 Chinese learning, as well as their overall experiences when utilizing AI tools.

4. Innovative Pedagogical Approaches in the Age of Generative AI: Present innovative pedagogical approaches that leverage GenAI technology to enhance L2 Chinese language instruction and learning outcomes.

5. Pedagogical Challenges of Incorporating GenAI: Discuss the challenges and considerations involved in integrating GenAI into instructional practices for L2 Chinese language education.

6. Strategies for Leveraging GenAI in Assessment Processes: Explore strategies for utilizing GenAI technology in assessment processes to effectively evaluate L2 Chinese language proficiency.

7. Artificial Intelligence and Educators' Professional Development: Investigate the role of GenAI in educators' professional development for L2 Chinese language instruction.

8. Development of GenAI-based Language Learning Resources and Materials: Present initiatives focused on developing ChatGPT-based language learning resources and materials tailored for L2 Chinese learners.

9. Perceptions of GenAI in Language Education: Examine teachers' and students' perceptions of ChatGPT as a tool for language education, particularly in the context of L2 Chinese learning.

Apart from meta-analyses, research reviews, and highly innovative conceptual papers, we particularly encourage methodologically rigorous empirical studies and classroom-based research focused on AI for L2 Chinese language learning. 

We look forward to having your submissions.
