Asia Society is pleased to present a new initiative, the Chinese Early Language and Immersion Network (CELIN) at Asia Society. In response to the expressed needs of Chinese early language and immersion programs throughout the United States, CELIN was established in 2012 under the leadership of Dr. Shuhan Wang, President of ELE Consulting International and former Executive Director of Chinese Language Initiatives at Asia Society. Drs. Shuhan Wang and Joy Peyton will serve as CELIN’s Project Director and Senior Project Associate, in collaboration with the Chinese Language Initiatives team at Asia Society.

Through this initiative, CELIN seeks to convene and work together with practitioners, researchers, policy makers, parents, and advocates for language learning across the United States and beyond. The goal is to strengthen and expand Chinese language education in early childhood and primary grades. An advisory committee of national leaders in the field of Chinese language, world languages, language immersion, and early childhood education will provide guidance to our work.
