College of Humanities, Art and Social Sciences
Centre for Chinese Language and Culture (CCLC)
Director: Associate Professor Lee Guan Kin
Deputy Director: Associate Professor Crossland-Guo Shuyun
About the Centre
Centre for Chinese Language and Culture (CCLC) was
officially set up in April 1994, geared towards excellence in
teaching and research, and offering courses related to
Chinese language and culture for NTU students to take as
general education requirement. Since September 2003,
CCLC has transferred its teaching responsibilities to the
Division of Chinese, HSS, and continued to strive for
excellence in the research of Chinese language and culture
and the related academic activities.
Mission
• To facilitate, coordinate and encourage
inter-disciplinary and discipline-specific research in
Chinese language and cultural issues of interest in
the Chinese world;
• To provide a platform for interaction among international and
local scholars from various disciplines to exchange latest
research findings and ideas;
• To organise a range of integrated activities such as
international conferences, public lectures, academic
seminars, public forums and workshops;
• To produce academic publications including working
papers, monographs, books and journals; and
• To serve as the point of contact between NTU and similar
research centres in other international and local academic
institutions.
Research Areas

Research Activities
CCLC has been undertaking research projects in the fields of
Southeast Asian Chinese Language and Dialects, Southeast
Asian Literature in Chinese, Southeast Asian Chinese History
and Folklore, Literary and Social Traditions in the Chinese
World, and so on. Some examples of the projects are
Comparative Language and Culture Studies, Contrastive
Chinese Literature Studies, Studies on History of Nanyang
University, etc. Meanwhile, CCLC has organized workshops
and seminars for its research projects, such as the project of
the “Studies on History of Nanyang University”. The research
findings and results are published eventually as the
collections of the Nantah Chinese Language and Culture
Series (“Nantah Series”). To date, a total of twenty-two (22)
academic monographs have been published under Nantah
Series, resulting from various research projects.
CCLC has been awarded external research grants by MOE,
Lee Foundation, and Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation (CCK),
and has invited local and overseas scholars to be engaged in
the collaboration projects together with local and overseas
institutions and organizations. For example, CCLC is currently
working together with Xiamen University on the collaboration
project the “Cultural Transplant and Construction of Chinese
Communities: A Project of Document and Research on
Singapore Chinese Communities”, which is funded by CCK.
Over the past 16 years, CCLC has received several grants
from CCK, and most of the research projects are successfully
completed and published.
Academic Activities
CCLC, as an important research institution in the region of
Southeast Asia, has well-established reputation, locally and
internationally, with successful academic activities including
international conferences, workshops, seminars, public
forums, etc. Especially, CCLC has been organizing the “Tan
Lark Sye Professorship in Chinese Language and Culture
Public Lecture Series” by inviting prominent scholars and
professors from various countries to deliver public lectures on
the topics related to Chinese language and cultural studies,
Chinese literary and education studies, studies on Chinese
migration and networks, etc.
CCLC has also organized joint seminar series, international
conferences and workshops, and conducted joint publication
projects with local and overseas institutions and
organizations.
