CAIS Institute Announces Chinese Language Conference 2008



School administrators and educators across the country will head to San
Francisco next month for the Chinese Language Conference 2008, the nation's
largest conference exclusively dedicated to promoting the teaching and
learning of Chinese language programs in America. Hosted by the CAIS
Institute, a leading resource for integrating Chinese language and culture
into American education programs, the national conference will be held at
the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco from March 14-16, 2008. China Books and
Periodicals, America's largest and oldest distributor of books and other
cultural products from China, is the presenting sponsor. Globalization
continues to boost the growing economic and cultural influence of China -
one of the world's largest economies. Over the next decade across America,
the study of Chinese will dramatically rise along with the need for
Americans who are fluent in Mandarin Chinese.
