Summer seminar for Chinese teachers in France held online

The opening ceremony of the summer seminar for Chinese teachers in France was held online on July 19, aiming to promote Chinese teaching in France.

More than 40 Chinese teachers from France, Switzerland and the Caribbean attend the online opening ceremony.

The seminar was co-hosted by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation (CLEC) affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Education, Northwestern University and French Association of Chinese Professors (AFPC).

Ren Huilian, director of the Department of International Cooperation at Northwestern University, delivered a welcome speech. She hoped that the trainees would make new contributions to the cultural and educational exchanges between China and France and the international communication of Chinese and Chinese culture.

A series of cultural courses organized by the School of International Education of Northwestern University

It is the second time that Northwest University has undertaken the local Chinese language teachers training program of CLEC. It is also the second cooperation between Northwest University and the AFPC after 18 French Chinese teachers came to Xi'an in 2019.

The training class was mainly composed of senior teachers from the School of International Education and the Art School of Northwest University. Experts and scholars in the field of Chinese international education from Beijing Language and Culture University and Capital Normal University were invited to give lectures.

The courses cover the teaching of Chinese characters, grammar and vocabulary, teaching plan design and classroom activities, as well as lectures on literature and culture.

The project will be carried out in two phases, with more than 80 Chinese teachers from French universities, middle schools and primary schools participating in the training.
