The Department of Chinese Language Studies is organising a “Symposium on International Chinese Language Teaching and Learning in Greater Bay Area”, to be held on 17 June 2022.

In recent years, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been developing rapidly with frequent international exchanges. Teaching Chinese as a second language has become more important in this context. At the symposium, experts and scholars from the Greater Bay Area will speak about their research findings and teaching experience, and their exploration of new directions of research in Chinese language education. Furthermore, to enhance the theme of teacher education, there will be a Student Paper Award competition for pre-service teachers of Chinese as a second language on the topics of curriculum design, teaching materials, teaching methods and assessments for Chinese as a second language in the Greater Bay Area, the linguistic and cultural features of the Greater Bay Area, and the strategies to address those features in teaching Chinese as a second language. The activities will promote the sustained development of the teaching and learning of Chinese as a second language in the Greater Bay Area.
