On Thursday 17 September, the CIQ convened a highly successful free professional development workshop for Chinese language teachers on the teaching and learning of Chinese under the new Queensland Certificate of Education.
Nineteen Confucius Classroom and CIQ Network School teachers participated, either in person at the QUT Kelvin Grove campus or online via ZOOM.
Four presenters spoke on critical topics such as effective assessment instrument design, innovative teaching approaches, teaching apps for online teaching and preparing students for the external assessment.
Participant feedback indicated a very high level of satisfaction amongst attendees.
Antoine Barnaart, CIQ Director, said ‘Our Institute was very pleased that so many teachers could attend from our Confucius Classroom and Network Schools throughout Queensland. We look forward to continuing to support the teaching and learning of Chinese in Queensland with more programs in future.’
