The Business Confucius Institute At The University Of Leeds, 利兹大学商务孔子学院

The excellent attendance and enthusiasm in the room at this Business Confucius Institute teacher training event once again demonstrates local Mandarin teachers’ commitment to their students and professional development.
Over 50 teachers from local schools and other Confucius Institutes gathered at Leeds University Business School on Saturday 2 November for a training day led by Rob Neal.
Rob is the coordinator of the Manchester Swire Language Centre and has been teaching Mand...arin for over ten years in secondary schools in Manchester and Sheffield. He is currently doing a part-time PhD with the University of Cambridge, researching the pronunciation of young beginner learners of Chinese.
Joining our Business Confucius Institute staff at the training were teachers from local schools including Leeds Chinese Community School and York Chinese Community School. Pudsey Grange School and Horsforth School, which both joined the Mandarin Excellence Programme this year, sent their Mandarin teaching staff to network and gain inspiration. We were also delighted to welcome teachers from further afield representing Confucius Institutes in Lancashire and Scotland.

Do you remember Scotts Fish And Chips from our video about improving the customer experience for Chinese visitors? A Scott's restaurant has now opened in China, and this clip shows how steps like translating their menu and marketing to Chinese tourists has led to this international expansion. The recently established Visit Leeds China Forum will help businesses in Leeds as they begin their own journeys towards better understanding and catering for Chinese customers. Scotts Fish And Chips show that you never know where that can lead!
