— Listening and Speaking
Activity1--Pre-listening
1.What do you know about Chinese language learning abroad?
With China’s rapid economic growth and wide exchanges with the rest of the world, there has been a sharp increase in the world demand for Chinese language learning. To meet the increasing demands for Chinese learning, the Chinese government decided to set up Confucius Institutes in foreign countries. The first Confucius Institute was set up in South Korea in 2004. Confucius Institutes adopt flexible teaching patterns to suit local conditions while teaching Chinese language and promoting cultural exchange in foreign schools, universities, communities, and enterprises.
