The IOE Confucius Institute 14th Annual Chinese Teaching Conference took place in June of 2017. The theme of the Conference was ‘Expanding Excellence: Raising Expectation, Increasing Fluency’ and these ideas were heavily reflected in the Conference workshops. We have gathered together the workshop presentations so that they can be referred to and used in your future Chinese language teaching. The presentations below have been arranged below in order of appearance at the Conference. Please note that the presentations without a link will be added to this webpage as and when we receive them.
