Abstract
In Canada, the number of Chinese heritage language (CHL) learners has increased rapidly due to more and more immigrant families moved to the country from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong in the past few decades. Language loss become a major issue to Chinese heritage communities in generations 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0. Thus, the development of CHL education becomes a crucial subject matter for retaining Chinese language. In order to overcome the impediments of CHL education development, Chinese teachers of teaching Chinese as foreign/second language (TCFL/TCSL) need to get deeper understanding of the current issues of CHL learning and teaching in Canada at first; and then, try to find solutions of the issues by applying appropriate teaching approaches, designing proper curricula and preparing relevant course materials. CHL learning experiences can be fun, interesting, interactive and relevant for students to be interested in and willing to keep on learning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
