The Directors of the Confucius Institute at the National University of Laos (NUOL) and the Mandarin course participants recently gathered for a group photo after a successful conclusion of the 11th annual Mandarin language training course for teachers from secondary schools that are teaching the language. The course was aimed at promoting techniques for teaching Mandarin and it enabled the participants to share their knowledge and experiences in teaching, while also focusing on practical actions to be taken during daily classes in schools. The Confucius Institute is gradually becoming a model project for promoting people-to-people exchanges between Laos and China, encouraging locals to learn Mandarin to gain a greater understanding of the northern neighbour, and contributing to the socio-economic development of Laos.
