Taipei, Jan. 24 (CNA) National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) and Pennsylvania State University in the United States announced Thursday the establishment of an international research center to promote Chinese language learning.
The Advanced Research Center for the Study of Learning Sciences, which will be set up at NTNU, will be devoted to three major fields -- language science, science education and learning technology, university officials said at a news conference in Taipei.
The research will include how people recognize and memorize the Chinese language in order to identify those who find it more easy to learn Chinese, as well as to develop "smart classroom" systems that can automatically track students' learning situations.
NTNU President Chang Kuo-en said his university will also form a partnership with local computer maker Leo System Inc., with the aim of commercializing the research results of the new center through Leo System's cloud computing platform.
