Strengthening Ties with the Chinese Language Teachers' Association of Queensland (CLTAQ) and Sharing Knowledge: CLTANT's Visit to Queensland

From February 22 to February 23, the Chinese Language Teachers' Association of the Northern Territory (CLTANT) had the pleasure of attending the 2025 Queensland Chinese Language Teachers' State Conference, hosted by the Chinese Language Teachers' Association of Queensland (CLTAQ). This two-day event, held at Indooropilly State High School, was an amazing opportunity for professional development and collaboration.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to CLTAQ for this invaluable opportunity, especially to President Xue for their unwavering support and assistance.

Our association's secretary Jinyi Wu represented CLTANT at the conference, engaging in meaningful exchanges with CLTAQ's president, committee members, and various educators from across Queensland. The conference featured sessions on topics such as using QCAA resources, catering to neurodivergent learners, and the impact of generative AI on Chinese teaching. These sessions were led by esteemed presenters including Roland Sussex, Amandine Coquiere, and Matthew King.

CLTANT expresses a strong desire for continued collaboration and mutual learning. This interaction would not only promote our association but also pave the way for further collaborations between both associations.

Looking ahead, our secretary will share the insights and teaching methods gained from this conference with CLTANT members later this term. We encourage all members to stay tuned for these upcoming sessions. For those who have not yet joined CLTANT, this is a great opportunity to benefit from our collaborative efforts and professional development initiatives.
