...a new series of short videos discussing LSE Research in Mandarin Chinese
A new series of videos with has been launched by the LSE Language Centre.
Throughout the series Dr Catherine Xiang, Language Co-ordinator (Mandarin) will be interviewing LSE academics, in Chinese, about their research and ideas.
The series, which aims to showcase LSE’s world class research and multilingual faculty, is being filmed at LSE’s new media studio. From media industries to social policy change and future economic development in China, the series will involve up to twenty China experts at LSE. It will build on the success of the student-led project Current Affairs in Mandarin, which has generated valuable open education resources for all.
Discussing and sharing their research and ideas in Mandarin with English subtitles, LSE scholars are able to engage wider academic and non-academic users in all Mandarin speaking countries and regions. The LSE Language Centre Mandarin team aims to develop teaching materials based on the content of these videos so that a range of new Mandarin courses for Academic Purposes will be offered.
You can watch these videos on the LSE Channel.
For 2015-16 this project is funded by the ESRC Impact Acceleration Fund.
