The 11th International Conference on Teaching Chinese as a Second
Language & The 5th International Conference on Chinese Language
Education-- Living Cultural Heritage, Innovating Language Education
In response to the evolving global landscape of Chinese language
education, this joint conference unites the 11th International
Conference on Teaching Chinese as a Second Language and the 5th
International Conference on Chinese Language Education under the theme
"Living Cultural Heritage, Innovating Language Education." This
collaborative endeavor brings together the fields of international
Chinese education and Chinese language education to explore how, in
our contemporary era, we can effectively sustain and revitalize
Chinese cultural heritage through innovations in pedagogy, curriculum
design, teaching methodologies, and digital technologies. The
conference will focus on critical areas including AI and pedagogical
innovation, cultural identity and intercultural dialogue, modern
interpretations and pedagogical applications of classical texts,
cultural transmission in bilingual contexts, and future-ready teacher
development. Leveraging Hong Kong's unique role as a global
crossroads, the event will convene scholars and practitioners from
Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and around the world.
Through keynote speeches, parallel forums, paper presentations, and
teaching workshops, we aim to create a dynamic, multi-level platform
for professional exchange, collectively advancing the future of
Chinese language education worldwide.
