Huanggang Normal University – A Confucius Institute
The People’s Republic of China has established Confucius Institutes (CI) to promote the dissemination of Chinese language (specifically Mandarin) and culture. The Centre for Language Learning has been running a small programme for over six years and a CI on the campus will give the country a focal point for Chinese language and culture. A CI is embedded at a university and is run as a partnership between the local university, a Chinese partner university and the Office for the Teaching of Chinese as a Foreign Language. CLL’s partner in this venture is Huanggang Normal University. |
