Technological Project

• Who’s language is a culture project that consists of interviews form Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Professor Wan-Li Ho from Emory University asks native students and workplace professionals about local foods, schools, shops and famous buildings. From this audio archive, students of Chinese can improve their listening comprehension skills while learning to distinguish differences in Asian cultures, Mandarin accents, grammar patterns and local dialects. This project was completed in the summer of 2007.
