Chinese Language: Resource Sharing Workshops

Monthly Resource Sharing for Chinese Language Teaching

‍

Connect, share and be inspired through Chinese language and cultural exchange

‍If you love teaching Chinese but sometimes wish you could peek inside another teacher’s classroom, swap ideas or discover new resources, this monthly online workshop is designed for you. Each session brings Chinese language teachers together to share materials, classroom activities, and cultural learning approaches — helping you grow as a teacher while connecting with others across Aotearoa. Whether you’re new to teaching Chinese or simply looking for fresh inspiration, you’ll leave each session energised, supported, and full of new possibilities for your learners.

Why resource sharing strengthens Chinese teaching

‍Resource sharing enables teachers to build knowledge and confidence together rather than working alone. When educators exchange classroom tasks, unit plans, cultural activities and regionally focused content, everyone benefits — with richer lessons, clearer cultural context, and a stronger sense of professional capability. Sharing resources also reduces planning time, sparks creativity, and builds a connected community of practice where ideas continue to grow across Aotearoa.
