关于参赛及评奖语言组别的说明
Language Category Determination

CLTASA student activities, including but not limited to competitions, Excellence Award selections, and other related assessments, are organised, entered, and judged according to students’ designated language categories. Therefore, teachers, parents, and students must carefully check and accurately select the student’s appropriate language category when registering for or entering any relevant activity.

CLTASA 学生活动，包括但不限于各类竞赛、优秀奖评选及其他相关评比，均依据学生所属的语言组别进行报名、参赛及评审。因此，学校老师、家长及学生在注册或报名相关活动时，须认真核对并准确选择学生所属组别。

Given the complexity of Chinese language learners’ linguistic backgrounds, home language environments, cultural experiences, and learning histories, it may sometimes be difficult to determine the appropriate language category for certain students. If a teacher or registration coordinator has any questions when determining a student’s language category, they should contact CLTASA in a timely manner before submitting the registration or confirming the student’s eligibility, so that further clarification or assistance can be provided.

鉴于中文学习者的语言背景、家庭语言环境、文化经历及学习经历较为复杂，部分学生的组别归属可能存在难以判断的情况。如学校老师或报名负责人在判定学生组别时有任何疑问，应在提交报名或确认参赛资格前及时与协会联系，以便获得进一步说明或协助。

If a student participates in an activity under an incorrect language category, CLTASA reserves the right to cancel the student’s eligibility in accordance with the relevant rules. If, after results have been announced or awards have been presented, it is found that an award recipient’s language category does not meet the registration or judging requirements, CLTASA also reserves the right to withdraw, cancel, or amend the relevant award or result.

若学生因报名组别选择错误而参加活动，协会有权根据相关规则取消其参赛资格。对于已公布或已颁发的奖项，若事后发现获奖学生所属组别不符合报名及评审要求，协会亦有权撤回、取消或调整相关奖项及结果。

If the school, teacher, registration coordinator, student, or the student’s parent/guardian fails to provide truthful, accurate, and complete information relating to the student’s language category classification, including but not limited to the student’s home language background, learning history, and any other necessary information, or if the information provided is insufficient to respond to, clarify, or resolve reasonable concerns raised by CLTASA or other participants regarding the student’s language category classification, CLTASA reserves the right to make a final determination and take appropriate action regarding the student’s eligibility to participate, be assessed, or receive an award. Such action may include, but is not limited to, cancelling the student’s participation eligibility, cancelling the student’s assessment eligibility, withdrawing any award already granted, or amending the relevant assessment result.

如学校、老师、报名负责人、学生本人或其家长/监护人未能如实、准确、完整地提供与学生语言组别认定相关的家庭语言背景、学习经历及其他必要信息，或所提供信息不足以回应、澄清或消除协会或其他参赛人员对其组别归属提出的合理质疑，协会有权对该学生的参赛资格、评审资格及获奖资格作出最终认定和相应处理，包括但不限于取消参赛资格、取消评审资格、撤回已颁发奖项或调整相关评比结果。

CLTASA will make the final decision on language category classification and any related disputes in accordance with the activity rules and the circumstances of each case.

协会将根据活动规则及实际情况，对语言组别认定及相关争议作出最终决定。​​​​
