With approximately 1,000 students enrolled, the Chinese Studies Department of the Inalco (National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations) is one of the largest Chinese language training centres in Europe. Founded in 1843, this department has about 40 teachers who give more than 70 classes per week. The courses are held exclusively in the Institute's premises. The brutal confinement following the health crisis that the whole world has experienced since the beginning of 2020 has been a real shock for the students and teachers who have seen their working and studying conditions totally modified. How did the department arrange courses to ensure good pedagogical continuity? How did the learners follow these courses and what were their assessments of the effectiveness of the courses offered? This article presents the results of two surveys of undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Chinese Studies.

Abstract This paper presents findings of a qualitative study with 27 subjects, of attitudes towards a literature-oriented translation curriculum. Based on four group and individual interviews guided by a common interview protocol, the authors presented and analysed the results of the study, with close reference to recurring quotes from our subjects. The feedback from the four groups displays a general consensus that literature training is constructive in enhancing cross-cultural awareness and the language competence of students. Relatively, however, the translation graduates have higher regard to the usefulness of literature training than the translation undergraduates do. The less mature group seems to have taken a short-term perspective about the uses of knowledge of literature to them as translator trainees. The more mature group, instead, takes a thorough perspective about the subtle uses of literary knowledge in consolidating the language skills and cultural knowledge for translators. Our observation suggests that two elements are crucial for a relatively allround curriculum: the imminent skills, and the subtle language training. Résumé Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude qualitative, realisée avec 27 sujets sur leurs attitudes envers un curriculum en traduction orienté vers la litérature. Basée sur des entretiens par groupe et individuels selon un protocol commun, les auteurs ont présenté et analysé les résultats de l’étude, avec une nette référence à des citations récurrentes de nos sujets. L’information en retour des quatre groupes présente un consensus général selon lequel la formation en littérature est constructive pour améliorer la sensibilisation interculturelle et la compétence linguistique des étudiants. Cependant, il est utile de noter que les diplomes en traduction accordent plus de valeur a l’utilité de la formation en littérature que les candidats en traduction. Le groupe moins avancé semble, en revanche, avoir adopté une perspective à court-terme a propos des usages qu’il peut faire des connaissances en littérature comme étudiant en traduction. Le groupe plus avancé, par contre, a une vue d’ensemble des usages subtils des connaissances en littérature destinées à consolider les capacités linguistiques et les connaissances culturelles pour les traducteurs. Notre observation tend à suggérer que deux elements sont essentiels dans un curriculum assez complet: les capacités immédiates, et la formation subtile des langues.

Maternal Food Memories in Lin Cheng-sheng's 27°C: Loaf Rock and Eric Khoo's Recipe: A Film on Dementia

Individual Memory

Elderly mothers pick pineapple in Taiwanese fields and cook curry rice in a Singaporean hawker stand in Lin Cheng-sheng's biopic, 27°C: Loaf Rock, and Eric Khoo's telefilm, Recipe: A Film on Dementia, respectively. Both 2013 Chinese language films employ flashbacks to portray maternal food memories. Lin and Khoo depict food as comforting and possessing a unique ability to stimulate long-term memory to counter the short-term memory loss symptomatic of this form of dementia. The gustatory and the olfactory act directly upon the limbic brain, which houses emotions. In depicting Alzheimer's sufferers and their responses to food, 27°C and Recipe fight for causes. Lin calls attention to the marginalized in his portrayal of the mother succumbing to the disease from the perspective of her son—a character based on contemporary Taiwanese baker Wu Pao-chun, who overcame the adversity of impoverishment to win the world famous Master's de la Boulangerie and found prestigious eponymous bakeries. Parallel to its role in individual memory, food preserves cultural memory. Analogous to culinary arts, cinema, which is made for consumption, combines art and science, embodies culture, and incorporates tradition and innovation, as I show in this comparative study.

The Impact

Cognitive ability is an important aspect of children’s development, but there is still room for discussion about the impact of preschool education on children’s cognitive ability. Based on the data of China Urbanization and Children Development Survey (CUCDS) of Tsinghua University, this paper categorizes cognitive ability into Chinese language cognition and mathematical cognition. It is discovered that the impact of preschool education on children’s cognitive development differs depending on the cognitive ability and the length of time. In particular, preschool education has both short-term and long-term effects on children’s Chinese cognitive ability, while there is only a short-term effect on the development of children’s mathematical cognitive ability without long-term effect.

Descriptive Method

China has been promoting the project of the “New Silk Road” (NSR) not just as a revival of the ancient trade road or a transport route between East and West. On a larger scale it is the redesigning of the entire commercial and economic model of the Middle East and Central Asia. Thus we have no time to wait until all the people involved in the project will graduate from the universities’ foreign language departments. We are well aware that we need short term language programs intended for non-philologist learners. One of the aspects that is compulsory for the beginner is the phonetics of the Chinese language. The article discusses the basic modern requirements for the content and form of teaching the phonetics of the Chinese language. The methods like synthesis, comparative analysis and literature review were used to outline the requirements for teaching phonetics of the Chinese language in short term language programs and in higher education. As a result of the study the textbook aimed at forming the correct pronunciation for beginners is introduced. While compiling the textbook the descriptive method and the method of comparison were used.

The methods were descriptive qualitative, direct observation as trainer and collects participant test results as research data. The results show that teaching material is appropriate, however it needs to add review part. Direct method are used during the training makes the participants use Chinese language in daily conversation to achieve the goal of training. Indeed, it needs to strengthen mastery of participants’ basic Mandarin through explanation about using the vocabulary and adding the classroom activities.
