A total of 37 local Chinese teachers and international Chinese language enthusiasts participated, representing seven universities, five Confucius Institutes, and two Confucius Classrooms across Pakistan. The camp aimed to strengthen the teaching capabilities of participants, ensuring a well-prepared and competent teaching force in the country.
The training sessions were enriched by contributions from professors and experts from prominent Chinese academic institutions, including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Hebei University, Zhejiang Normal University, and XAU. Teachers from various Confucius Institutes also shared their valuable knowledge and experience during the program.
The summer camp’s curriculum was divided into two modules, each designed to meet the specific needs of the participants. The first module, “International Chinese Education Theory and Practice,” consisted of five lectures on topics such as technology-assisted Chinese language teaching, syllabus development, grammatical case studies, vocabulary instruction strategies, and professional planning for local Chinese teachers.
The second module, “Chinese Culture Video Sharing and Hands-on Experiences,” offered three interactive workshops that immersed participants in Chinese culture. These workshops included activities like paper cutting, calligraphy, and an introduction to Peking Opera, allowing participants to engage with and appreciate various aspects of Chinese culture.
This successful event highlighted the growing educational collaboration between Pakistan and China, contributing to the continued development of Chinese language education in Pakistan.
