In 2016, three papers have been accepted to the Annual International Conference of Chinese American Educational Research and Development Association (CAERDA) to be held in Washington, DC, USA (http://www.caerda.org/).

Namely, The Impact of Three Chinese Font Types on Reading Speed by Zhang Miao, Linking Achievement Goal Orientation to Academic Achievement: The Mediating Role of Learning Engagement by Zhang Jiayun, Meta-motivational States as Mediators Between Parenting Styles and Humor Styles by Hua Ningxuan.

The CAERDA Annual International Conference is an open forum for interdisciplinary discussion and scholarly exchange of ideas among educational researchers and practitioners from around the world. All of above students will attend the conference and present their papers this April. Before that, a paper-presentation rehearsal will be jointly organized by the APSY and the TESL programmes for the participants.
