Guided by Center for Language Education and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education of China, the contest was organized by Liaoning Provincial Education Association for International Exchange and hosted by Shenyang Normal University. It aimed to encourage international Chinese language educators to summarize teaching experience, innovate teaching methods, enhance mutual exchange and learning, and promote the high-quality development of Chinese language education in Arab countries.
Under the leadership of Dr. Yang Songfang, TAG-CI team actively participated in the contest and carefully refined their cases, which covered teaching practice, cultural promotion, and teaching resource development.
