A transdisciplinary research project aiming at transforming Chinese language education through collaborative efforts, human-centred AI approaches, and knowledge mobilisation for the common good.

CLEAR stands at the forefront of revolutionising Chinese language education in the age of AI. Our primary mission is to conduct cutting-edge research that transforms the landscape of Chinese language learning, leveraging advanced technology to challenge long-held perceptions about the complexity of mastering Chinese.

At the heart of CLEAR’s work is our commitment to innovative research and knowledge mobilisation. We explore how AI and other emerging technologies can be harnessed to create more efficient, engaging, and effective methods of Chinese language acquisition. Our findings and developments are designed to empower educators and benefit learners across various contexts, from classrooms to communities, bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world language learning needs.

CLEAR is dedicated to reshaping the image of Chinese language learning. We envision a future where Chinese language acquisition is transformed by technology, making it more accessible and appealing to a global audience. Our goal is to significantly reduce the time and effort required for learners to achieve communicative competence in Chinese, opening new paths for deep understanding and engagement with the Chinese-speaking world.

Collaboration is key to our research endeavours. We work closely with leading researchers, educators, and technology experts worldwide to push the boundaries of language education. By fostering these partnerships, we aim to create a global network of innovation in Chinese language pedagogy. Join us in our quest to revolutionise Chinese language education. At CLEAR, we’re not just researching language learning; we’re reimagining it for the 21st century and beyond.
