Bridging East and West through Mandarin learning

China Daily  

Visitors attend an exhibition during the World Chinese Language Conference at the China National Convention Center in Beijing on Friday. International Chinese language education has become increasingly vital to bridge the information gap and enhance cultural understanding between young people in the East and the West, experts and learners said during the World Chinese Language Conference in Beijing. Meanwhile, Chinese language education in the United Kingdom has emerged as a key avenue for fostering cultural understanding and bridging the gap between China and Britain, said Katharine Carruthers, director of the Confucius Institute at University College London. "Chinese language is never taught alone; it always comes with culture," said Vicente Andreu, whose Chinese name is An Wenlong, director of the Confucius Institute at the University of Valencia in Spain. "Language learning is not just an academic journey, but also a bridge connecting young people in China and other countries," said Germole, who was awarded the global champion of the 12th Chinese Bridge for foreign secondary school students.
