CSC President Chris Stellato delivered the keynote address at the 2018 Asian American Summit held at St. Ignatius High School on October 19, 2018. The address, titled “Learner Identity in the Chinese Classroom,” explored the role identity plays in affecting student motivation, learning outcomes, and how learners interact with native interlocutors.

The 2018 Asian American Summit was attended by Chinese language and culture educators from across Ohio. Over the course of the conference, educators shared strategies to more effectively integrate culture into language teaching, create authentic cultural environments in the classroom, encourage participation in cultural activities by Asian American students, and counteract ethnic stereotypes on and off campus.
