The sharing and variations of Han characters is a unique feature among a number of Asian languages. Korean learns Hanja, Japanese learns Kanji, Chinese in Mainland China and Singapore learns simplified Hanzi while Chinese in Taiwan and Hong Kong learns traditional Hanzi. This Conference aims to bring together scholars, researchers and practitioners from different Asian countries to discuss and share their ideas, perspectives, experiences and research findings of teaching and learning of Han characters in terms of curriculum, teaching materials and pedagogy in their own education systems. Following the success of the first International Conference on Learning and Teaching of Han Characters in Asian Languages held on 15 Jan 2011, the 2nd International Conference on the same theme will be held in late October 2011 at South Korea.
