Canadian International School of Guangzhou
君子：论道，行之   Junzi : On Knowing and Doing

REGISTER NOW

Due to local limits on the size of public gatherings we are only able to accommodate 200 people for this conference. As both our previous conferences filled quickly, it is best to register as soon as possible.

 

The ACAMIS Chinese Conference aims to bring together educators from across China and Mongolia to share best practices and information in the latest advancements in teaching Chinese with great ideas that can be implemented directly in each specific local context. The Conference provides an opportunity for Chinese teachers to share their expertise in the following areas:

  • Effective teaching strategies and methods
  • Curriculum design and implementation
  • Assessment for learning
  • Integrating Chinese language and culture into the curriculum, and
  • Educational theories and pedagogies that are related to Chinese teaching and learning.

This year’s ACAMIS Chinese conference focuses on reflecting and applying Junzi’s philosophy into our lives and classroom learning. Junzi's character and philosophy is highly appreciated and valued in the traditional Chinese community.  Chinese teachers often reflect on his teachings and motivate themselves to be better educators. In today's rapidly changing world, as Chinese teachers, we have an opportunity to combine traditional values with innovative teaching concepts and methods. This conference provides an opportunity to rethink our role as Chinese teachers in the international school settings, and our mission and responsibility as Chinese teachers.

君子是中国人推崇的理想人格典范，作为国际学校的中文老师，许多老师以此提醒和激励自己。在社会急遽发展的今天, 中文老师们常常面对各种教学理念的冲击和多元化教学方法的挑战，还要应对来自各方的压力，有时会四顾茫然，踯躅不前。因此，越是在这样的时刻，我们应该回到教育的本质，回顾我们选择国际中文教师的初衷，探求中文教师在国际学校的使命和责任。
 
2021 ACAMIS 中文大会除了“坐而论道”，我们更要做到“知行合一”。因此, 我们也将邀请一线优秀教师为大家讲解最有效的教学方法、分享最成功的教学实践和展示最有情怀的课堂体验。
