On Saturday, September 20th, 2025, the Confucius Institute at Charles Darwin University’s Casuarina Campus came alive with energy and inspiration as CLTANT hosted its 3rd Professional Development (PD) event of the year. Held both in-person and online, the session welcomed new members into the CLTANT community, fostering collaboration and growth among Chinese language educators across the Northern Territory.
The morning was divided into two enriching sessions:
1. AI and Traditional Culture Empower Overseas Chinese Education
Presented by Rose Ye (Xin Ye), this session explored the cutting-edge integration of artificial intelligence in Chinese language teaching. Drawing from her recent studies in China, Rose shared the latest pedagogical advancements and AI-driven tools that are transforming how Chinese is taught globally. Her insights bridged tradition and technology, offering practical strategies for engaging students in meaningful and culturally rich learning experiences.
2. Transformative Technology in the Language Classroom Today
Led by Yufang Qiu, a seasoned educator with extensive experience teaching senior-level SACE Chinese in Alice Springs, this session focused on classroom methodologies. Qiu laoshi guided participants through effective teaching techniques tailored for diverse learning environments, emphasizing student-centered approaches and the thoughtful use of digital tools to enhance language acquisition.
The event was a celebration of professional growth, cultural exchange, and technological innovation. Attendees left inspired, equipped with new strategies, and connected to a vibrant network of educators dedicated to advancing Chinese language education in Australia.
