Great conf. back in November

Back in November I was lucky enough to be a plenary speaker at a conference organized by my colleagues and friends from the Confucius Institute in Aalborg, Denmark. These guys are doing a great job!

“The Confucius Institute held an international conference from Wednesday 20 November to Friday 22 November 2013. The conference was a great success with nearly 70 participants, of which 24 were members of the Chinese Teachers Association in Denmark, 11 were researchers, staff and students from universities and 33 participants came from various CI’s in the Baltic-Nordic region. The conference key topic was Chinese language and culture teaching in a Danish (or non-Chinese) context. The aim was to generate ideas and develop new teaching practices that could give Chinese language and culture teachers new tools in their daily teaching lives. The conference’s keynote speakers Fred Dervin, Anja Lahtinen, Danping Wang, Mads Jakob Kirkebæk and Xiangyun Du gave valuable input to this.”
