The second annual EALC Chinese and Japanese Language Contest was
held
April 19th. Its objective is to provide
contestants with an opportunity to develop communication skills vital to students studying
the target languages. Two new categories, Heritage Learners and Classical,
were added to the previous three levels. The judges, Prof. F. Hsiao of Economics
and Prof. T. Kleeman of Chinese and Religous Studies, evaluated four teams at Level
One, each of which performed a five-minute skit, four teams at Level Two, where each
team helped a Chinese and a Japanese speaker communicate, and four presenters
Level Three, each of whom presented an oral research paper. In the Classical division,
a team performed a play written in contemporary Chinese based on a classical
tale. Two groups of Chinese heritage learners gave a language and culture
presentation. The top two teams in the three levels
were awarded a prize, and the Heritage and Classical teams were rewarded for their
effort as well. The contest was coordinated by Fang-Yi Chao and Kyoko Saegusa
and sponsored by EALC, the Center for Asian Studies, and CUEAGA. EALC invited the Chinese Student Association to join in sponsoring the
annual Chinese New Year's Party on February 1. Great food, student demonstrations,
and activities organized by the Chinese Student Association made this event
highly successful. Many people attended: American and international students who
study Chinese, American and Chinese teachers, Chinese students at CU. After the
dinner, American students and Chinese students performed songs, did Chinese
Kongfu, and played some interesting games concerning Chinese culture. All of those
attending enjoyed the celebration very much. With outstanding support from all of our CU sponsors, including Pablo
Kjolseth, director of the International Film Series
at CU, the department held a film symposium, spread over five weeks in
the fall, and a conference on Japanese Women Filmmakers from October
5-7, 2000. Films shown included Tanaka Kinuyo's
Eternal Breast and Girls of the
Night, Hidari Sachiko's The Far Road, Kawase Naomi's
Moe no Suzaku, and Hamano's In Search of Osaki
Midori. Keynote speakers included Kawase Naomi, one of Japan's most
important filmmakers, and Professor Keiko McDonald of Pittsburgh University,
which held a similar conference in conjunction with ours. A lively group of
scholars, students, and filmmakers from Japan, Canada, Austria, Belgium, and the
U.S. gathered to hear speakers and discuss papers and films in both English
and Japanese, often with simultaneous interpretation. The topics were
wide-ranging, and various filmmakers spoke about their work, often in a very
personal way. It was a rewarding event for the participants, and there are hopes
of holding a similar conference in the future, perhaps on the wider topic
of Gender and Film. The CU Outreach Committee has awarded Kyoko Saegusa a $2,000 grant
to
bring high school groups to visit the Japanese Program at EALC in 2000-2001. The
goal is to showcase our Japanese program and to encourage students to continue
their study of Japanese after they finish middle school or high school. Four groups
are scheduled for this year: 20 students from Mike Kleinkopf's class at Boulder High,
20 students from Kim Levine's class at Bear Creek High School in Lakewood,
13 students from Wendy Meyers' class at Casey Middle School, and 30
students from Sam Havens' class at Summit Middle School. EALC congratulates the following students for their accomplishments:
Michael G. Barry—B.A., Japanese * * *
Cindy Chang—Van Ek Award Through generous funding from The Freeman Foundation, the
Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations has established a
national outreach program to encourage teaching and learning about Asia in
K-12 education. Two grants fund three specific initiatives: a China
studies program, a Japan studies program, and the National Consortium for
Teaching about Asia, all of which are now underway.
The overarching goal of the Program for Teaching East Asia is
to address the need for better education about Asia and U.S.-Asia relations
by enhancing and expanding teaching about East Asia at the elementary
and secondary school levels. Specific activities to address this goal
include curriculum consultation, instructional materials development, and
professional development programs—including workshops, seminars,
summer institutes, and study tours—for
teachers. Project staff includes Lynn Parisi, Director; Janet Hoaglund, Japan
Project Coordinator; Karla Loveall, China Project Coordinator; and Zhang
Huicong and Hong Yue, graduate assistants. Faculty from the Department of
East Asian Languages and Civilizations as well as the Departments of
History, Geography, and Religion are also instrumental. Teaching East Asia: Japan offers workshops to K-12 teachers and
an annual summer institute for high school teachers on "Japanese History
through the Humanities." The first workshop
in this series, "Enduring Issues in U.S.-Japan Relations: Teaching
about Hiroshima and the Japanese American Internment," took place on April
24. This year's summer institute is "Starting Over: Japan's Occupation Years,
1945-52." It will feature CU faculty and specialists from around the country. In addition, the Teaching East Asia: Japan program is in its fourth year
of
an outreach project that brings CU undergraduates in Japanese into Boulder
Valley classrooms as service interns. The pilot project is titled "It's Elementary:
A Japanese Language-Culture Service Project." Six undergraduates from
the EALC departmentMelisa Lansky, Justin Maki, Marc Musteric, Jessica Rodd,
Kyle Seike, and Laurel Swiftwork with TEA staff to create elementary lessons, then
deliver their lessons to firstgrade students who study Japan as part of their social
studies curriculum in the Boulder Valley School
District. The interns offer lessons in Japanese language and culture to the first
graders. Between February and April, the interns made a total of 45 visits to
25 firstgrade classrooms throughout Boulder Valley and worked with
approximately 625 elementary students. Five of the
students earned CU credit. The pilot program provides CU undergraduates with an
authentic experience applying their own study of Japan and offers them the
opportunity to provide service to the community
and explore teaching as a career option. For Boulder first graders, the program
offers access to a rich array of experiences and artifacts about Japan. One intern's
suggestion for the future, "Try to get more
schools involved because this unique program influences children to think on a more
global level." The Program for Teaching East Asia also provides a curriculum library of
over 6,000 print and audiovisual materials on Asia to teachers in Colorado. For more
information, contact Lynn Parisi, Director, 303-735-5121,
lynn.parisi@colorado.edu. In November the CU East Asian Graduate Association held its third annual
graduate student conference on the topic of "Outcasts." The keynote speaker
was Professor Ted Fowler. Colleagues from across the U.S. and abroad
participated. Eleven CU graduate students (from
COML, EALC, Geography, Journalism, and Anthropology) presented papers along
with peers from as far away as England, Sweden, and Germany. Next fall's
conference on "Creating (Cultural) Identity"
is tentatively scheduled for October 26-28. If you have suggestions for keynote
speakers or funding sources or just want to get involved, please contact
cueaga@colorado.edu. Collin Dawson and Irene Wang have been accepted as exchange students at
Kansai Gaidai, and Kate Beuck and Kevin Singleton will study at Tsukuba Daigaku for the
2001/2002 academic year. In addition, Sanyoung Chun, Alyson Daly, and Mark Griffin will
be attending Kansai Gaidai during the fall semester 2001. In conjunction with "From Cherry Blossoms to Snow Gardens: The
Floating World of
Traditional Japanese Prints," an exhibit of
19th-century ukiyo-e prints from the
Colorado Collection (the permanent collection of
the CU Art Galleries), Lynn Parisi, Director of
the Program for Teaching East Asia, contributed to a workshop which provided an
overview of the social, cultural, and historical
context of these prints, a demonstration of printmaking, and the opportunity for
participants to make a monoprint. Several of the faculty incorporated tours of the exhibit
and readings about Japanese prints into Japanese language classes this spring. The 14th Annual Colorado Japanese Speech Contest was held on March
17th, 2001. Twenty-four contestants from four post-secondary institutions competed
in four levels: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced I, and Advanced II.
Three judges, Dr. Yoshiyuki Horii, Prof. Emeritus, UCB, Consul Kenichi Kudo, and
Ms. Mariko Usui, Japanese teacher, New Vista High School in Boulder, evaluated
the speeches against a set of guidelines prepared by Colorado Japanese
Language Education Association (CJLEA) members. Two cultural performances were
offered while the judges deliberated: Ms. Yoshiko Kuno, Japanese Instructor at
Colorado State University, performed
Yotsudake, an Okinawan ceremonial dance, and Mr.
Marc Lowenstein, student of Japanese music and language, performed
shakuhachi music. Cash awards were given to the
top three contestants in each level. In
addition, an award was presented to one student
for his fine depiction of the persistent "r"
and "l" problems in Japanese and English.
Every contestant received a certificate of participation. The two student
MCs received an ovation from the audience for their excellent work. The East Asian Library received more than 3,000 books in February,
donated by
the publisher Kodansha, Osaka Municipal University, and private donors.
This diverse collection of books includes titles in the fields of literature, culture,
history, ethnography, economics, religion, and even some
manga. Professor Faye Yuan Kleeman, working closely with
Professor Kazuko Morinaka of Osaka Shoin Joshi University, was able to arrange for
this donation, which increases the holdings of the Japanese language collection
by about one-third. On January 30, Alliance Advocacy Day, over two hundred educators,
business people, volunteers, and administrators set out for Capitol Hill in Washington,
D.C. to meet with Senators and members of Congress and their staffs to
encourage lawmakers to recognize the importance of international education to the U.S.
and to express support for measures such as foreign exchange and foreign
language study aimed at increasing international cooperation. Specific goals included
INS reform, increasing federal appropriations, and a national policy on
international education. Danielle Rocheleau (M.A., Japanese, 2000), Assistant to
the Consul General of Japan in Denver, represented Youth For
Understanding (YFU), a student exchange
organization. She described how her exchange experience affected her life and
how international experiences at an early age have the potential to expand one's
overall outlook and perspective as a member of the international community. Colorado
is in a unique position to act as a leader in the promotion of inter-national
information technology and high-tech pursuits, especially since it now has four
full-time foreign consulates. EALC celebrated the mid-autumn festival by sponsoring an evening of food
and student performances. This exciting event was organized by Madeline
Spring, Chao Fang-yi,and several of the Teaching Assistants in the Chinese program.

listening/reading passages to students, creating
hyperactive links to textual and multimedia annotations, verifying students'
understanding in a variety of question formats, and keeping records of student's use
of lessons. Richard McCray, Distinguished Professor, University of Colorado,
spoke
in September on "Travels on the Silk
Road." In 1998, he followed the footsteps of Marco Polo through some of the
more remote parts of the Silk Road, the various caravan routes that have connected
the Middle East to China since prehistoric times. In this illustrated talk he
described some of the geography, history, and culture of the Silk Road and its
legendary citiesSamarkand, Kashgar, Kuche, Dunhaung, Xianthat have seen the
rise and fall of many civilizations and empires - Persian, Greek, Chinese,
Arab, Turkish, Mongol, Russian. He spoke as well of his own experiences. Hirakawa Sukehiro, Emeritus Professor of Comparative Literature and
Culture at the University of Tokyo, visited EALC
in April. Professor Hirakawa is one of the leading figures in comparative
literary studies in Japan. He is the definitive translator of Dante into Japanese and
has published numerous books on topics ranging from Lafcadio Hearn to
Benjamin Franklin. He was in Boulder to attend the American Comparative Literature
Association meetings and to give a paper on "Dante from a Japanese Perspective"
to EALC faculty and graduate students. Consul General Makoto Mizutani of the Japanese Consulate in Denver spoke
on the topic "Recent Trends in the Japanese Mentality" to an overflow
crowd of students, faculty, and members of the community at CU in
March. Mr. Mizutani served in the Japanese Ministry of Foreign
Affairs in Japan, at the United Nations, and in the embassies of Japan in Egypt,
the United Kingdom, and Brazil prior to coming to Denver.
