Please help us to spread the word about our very lively Chinese Teaching Club! As a branch of SCEN, the Club is a friendly and relaxed platform through which Chinese Language Teachers in Scotland, in schools, colleges and universities, can connect. Colleagues working in other related sectors are welcome to join too. We normally meet twice a year, in May and November, to discuss any issues of interest to members. If you know someone who is interested in joining the Club, please email Dr Judith McClure or Co-Convener Lynnette Martin.

The agenda for the meeting on 4 November at Abden House, the Confucius Institute for Scotland at the University of Edinburgh, is as follows:

  • Developing and Sharing Teaching Materials: individual presentations and round-table discussion
  • Organising Trips and Exchange Programmes: round-table discussion
