Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2009, Hanban approved the creation of a Confucius Institute at Angeles University Foundation in partnership with Fujian Normal University. On January 10, 2010, an inauguration ceremony was held for the Confucius Institute by Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Chinese Ambassador Liu Jianchao and FNU President Huang Hansheng. The Confucius Institute at AUF is the 3rd Confucius Institute to be established in the Philippines. The establishment of the Confucius Institute at AUF in cooperation with FNU has enabled AUF to promote Chinese language and culture, and strengthen its institutional capacity to engage in inter-cultural activities with contemporary China. In 2011, AUF entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Education to offer the Mandarin Program in selected public schools nationwide under DepEd’s Special Program in Foreign Languages (SPFL). This partnership has facilitated the deployment of Chinese Volunteer Teachers to teach Mandarin in 72 public high schools nationwide; training of Filipino teachers to handle Mandarin courses; development of learning resources customized to Filipino learners; provision of scholarships and grants; and the participation of local teachers and students in bridge programs, educational tours and summer camps in China. CI-AUF celebrated its 5th anniversary on July 24, 2015.
