Transition from CLTA.OSU.EDU to CLTA-US.ORG:   July 2007 and August 2007 is the period for the migration of the CLTA website from The Ohio State University's host server to the Dreamhost server, together with a change in domain name, from clta.osu.edu to clta-us.org. During this transition period -- beginning with the uploading of the main pages to clta-us.org on 7 July 2007; that is, 07.07.07, for an auspicious beginning -- web pages can be accessed at both websites. However, for now, the online search of the journal index can only be accessed at the clta.osu.edu website. Your patience is most appreciated during this transition period. -- Professor Marjorie Chan, CLTA Webmaster (07.08.07)

CLTA Membership Renewal -- Online Payment at member.clta-us.org: Beginning on 19 March 2007, the CLTA Membership Page at member.clta-us.org can be used by CLTA members to pay their membership dues online, check their membership status, and make corrections online.

As a result, these archived issues of the CLTA Newsletter will be searchable at CLTA's website using the Google-based, on-site CLTA search engine located at CLTA's main page.

CLTA Website: The main webpages at the CLTA website have been re-designed with new images, new layout, and new pull-down menus and side menus for greater navigational ease. The new set of webpages was launched on 22 December 2005.

U. S. Secondary and Elementary Schools with Chinese Language Programs. A list compiled by Beth Ruggiero (Hingham High School) is available here as an Excel (.xls) file (revised 07.18.05, 99 KB). Beth Ruggiero has also prepared a set of statistics, available here as a one-page PDF file (revised 07.18.05) and a brief report that will be published in the September issue of the CLTA Newsletter, viewable here as a one-page PDF file.

CLTA Job Annoucement Posting Form -- Fixed! The CLTA Job Annoucement Posting Form is working again! If you had posted earlier in the fall and have not seen your posting displayed on the CLTA Job Annoucements page, please re-submit your posting. Thank you! -- Marjorie Chan, CLTA Webmaster (11.10.04)

2004 CLTA Annual Meeting Abstracts Online! The 2004 CLTA Anual Meeting Abstracts are now online and linked to the 2004 CLTA Annual Meeting Program. Abstracts linked to the online programs at the CLTA website began with the 2003 CLTA Anual Meeting. (CLTA annual meeting programs have been archived since 1997. Located in the Annual Meeting page are the links to the Archived CLTA Annual Meeting Programs [URL updated].)

2004 CLTA Election Results. The results are as follows: Mien-hwa Chiang was elected Vice President, and Charles Miracle, Hsin-hsin Liang, Audrey Li, and Songren Cui were elected to the CLTA Board of Directors. All the best to Mien-hwa and the newly-elected Directors as they begin their new tasks in November. (Per Articles IV and V of the CLTA Bylaws, a new term of office for members of the CLTA Board of Directors and elected officers begins in the year of the election upon the adjournment of the Annual Meeting of the Association in November.)

Searchable and Browsable JCLTA Index Online! Try out the new JCLTA Index Online, a searchable and browsable index for our Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association. It is now available (as of 31 August 2004), thanks to the technical expertise of Diane Dagefoerde and James Cheng (College of Humanities, Ohio State University). Beginning with Numbers 2 and 3 of Volume 38 (2003), abstracts for the articles are also linked to the index entries. Volume 38.2 (May 2003) contains English abstracts for each article, while Volume 38.3 (October 2003) onwards (under the current editor) will include bilingual abstracts -- in Chinese and in English. (For the purpose of enabling search engines on the Web to find information in the JCLTA index, a webpage with an alphabetical listing by author of the Index is also placed online.)

CLTA Membership - Current Status. CLTA membership status has been added to the CLTA site. Information on when a CLTA member's membership expires (or had expired) is provided in a PDF file on CLTA Membership Expiration Dates, and is linked to the CLTA Membership Information page. The PDF file with membership expiration dates will be updated periodically during the year. Life membership is also listed. [Note: In August 2004, this file was a web page.]

The Journal's JCLTA Index, a three-page index arranged alphabetically by author, has been moved to its own "JCLTA Index" subdirectory in the CLTA site. Some keywords (in Chinese and character-spaced) have been added to the index to test searching with the Google search engine that is placed in the Journal page in order to Search CLTA's JCLTA Index. (The search engine in the Journal page was modified on 05.15.04 to enable searching only the JCLTA index; this was done in conjunction with the revision of Journal page to UTF-8 encoding.) [Note: With the new online JCLTA Index, this temporary setup has now been disabled. -- mc.]
      In doing a keyword search of romanized words in a title, keep in mind that earlier articles, especially those on literature, may use Wade-Giles romanization. Hence, it may be practical to enter alternative romanized forms in a search. (For example, to search for the poet, Du Fu (Tu Fu), try entering a search as follows:   "Tu Fu" OR "Du Fu"   where quotation marks ("...") are used for entering exact quotes, while the logical OR operator (obligatorily in upper-case) retrieves pages containing at least one of the keywords or terms flanking it.)

CLTA Search Engine Update: Placed online (on 05.06.04) for testing is a modified version of CLTA's Google-powered search engine for Basic Search (located on CLTA's main page to search either the entire Web or only within the CLTA site, with the latter the default selection) and for Advanced Site Search (located on its own, separate page for searching within the CLTA site). One more Google-powered search engine has been placed online (on 05.08.04) as a separate page, this time for testing a modified version of Google's Simplified Chinese search engine for conducting a Google Chinese Web Search of all the pages on the Web or of only Chinese pages on the Web, with the latter choice further divided into two choices: all Chinese pages or only Simplified Chinese pages, Note that you can also search a specific site with its own domain name. For example, CLTA's site (or "domain") is "clta.osu.edu"; hence, to search the CLTA site, simply include "site:clta.osu.edu" as part of the search string. For conducting Chinese searches on the Web, input using Pinyin romanization or Chinese characters (traditional or simplified); for conducting English searches, enter English keywords and phrases.
      In conducting your searches using Google, keep in mind that there is some delay in Google updating their inventory of web pages. As a result, new information posted in this site will not be immediately searchable -- at least, not until Google has updated of their database to reflect the changes made here. Note also that older versions of web browsers may not support Chinese input for online searching. The modified codes, with UTF-8 encoding parameters added to Google's search engine in the CLTA site, aim to improve searching and viewing of search results in Chinese. (For further discussion of UTF-8 and Google's search engine, see M. Chan's Google review in the May 2004 issue of JCLTA.)

CLTA Search Engine: As of 4 April 2004, CLTA's new search engine for searching within the CLTA site has been activated. Powered by the search engine can be used for conducting a Basic Search (located on CLTA's main page) or an Advanced Site Search (located on its own, separate page), the latter with a number of user-selectable options for refining the search.

As you can see from the icon on the left, CLTA has a new domain name, <http://clta.osu.edu>. This took effect on 17 March 2004 (St. Patrick's Day), the day that the College of Humanities at Ohio State University moved the CLTA website to a new server, as part of a more general set of restructuring within the College's new web server. New capability to search the CLTA website will be available soon, along with other changes. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we mend broken links, update webpages, etc., as a result of this move. -- Marjorie K.M. Chan, CLTA Webmaster <chan.9@osu.edu>.

The 2003 CLTA Annual Meeting Program includes links to the presenters' abstracts. This is the first time that presenters' abstacts are placed online. See the 2003 CLTA Abstracts, arranged alphabetically by presenters' surnames.

CLTA History of Officers and Board of Directors: This is a new set of web pages that has been added to the CLTA website, as part of CLTA's 40th anniversary activities that include work on a history of CLTA (see CLTA Claudia Ross' December 2001 Message from the President). Information on past Officers and Board of Directors (previously the "Executive Board") was obtained from the Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, published since 1966. Information on the four years between the establishment of CLTA in 1962 and publication of the Journal will need be added when such information becomes available.

2001 CLTA ELECTION RESULTS: As the 2001 CLTA election via mail ballot closed on 30 September 2001 -- after the September 2001 issue of the CLTA Newsletter was published -- the results of the ballot counting are given here. The CLTA Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Professor Dana Scott Bourgerie (Brigham Young University) will be Vice-President in 2002 (i.e., after the conclusion of the CLTA annual meeting on 15-18 November 2001). In addition, we have the following four new CLTA Board of Directors (listed alphabetically by surname): Professor Jianhua Bai (Kenyon College), Dr. Mien-hwa Chiang (University of Pennsylvania), Mr. Stephen Fleming (University of Hawaii at Manoa), and Ms. Lucy C. Lee (Livingston High School, NJ). Each will be serving a three-year term that ends in November 2004. Also, as Professor Jing-heng Ma resigned from the CLTA Board of Directors this fall, Professor Richard VanNess Simmons (Rutgers University) has graciously accepted the invitation from the CLTA Board of Directors to serve out the remainder of Professor Ma's term, which ends in November 2003. Our warmest congratulations to all the winners, and our sincerest thanks to all the candidates who had agreed to be on the election ballot.

A new webpage, From the President of CLTA, has been created on which links to current and past Presidents' messages will be posted. Links to more messages will be added over the year. That webpage is currently linked to the CLTA Officers and Board of Directors page. Other webpages for "reconstructing" CLTA's history will be created during the year as a project on "CLTA: History Reclaimed."

Two awards in honor of the late Ron Walton. The CLTA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the establishment of two annual awards in honor of the late Ronald Walton.

The CLTA Home Page was officially "unveiled" on 20 January 1998 via announcement on the Chinese listserv.

Work on the CLTA Home Page began in early December, with design of logo and color scheme, decisions on layout and content, and the hiring of Alan Peterka as web assistant to help Professor Marjorie K.M. Chan (Ohio State University), a member of the CLTA Board of Directors who was appointed to be CLTA webmaster. The CLTA website resides in the web server maintained by The Ohio State University's College of Humanities, which provides generous technical support. Co-hosting the CLTA home page with the College of Humanities is OSU's Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures.
