Confucius classroom of humanitarian institute of Novosibirsk State University as a window for Chinese language and culture in Siberia

Confucius Classroom at Novosibirsk State University was officially founded in 2008, and Xinjiang University was appointed to be its Chinese partner. In the recent several years, from 2014 to 2017, under the wise leadership of CI Head-quarters Sino-Russia both sides have achieved remarkable results. There were constructed systematic mechanisms for high-level quality control for teaching process and permanent enlargement of educational scale. The main attention was paid to teaching of Chinese language for NSU students, as well as students of other Siberian universities and representatives of different strata of population. In order to support good quality of teaching the professional training for Chinese language teachers is organized twice per year (one - at the base of NSU, and another one - on the base of Xinjiang University). For preparing the cultural part of language teaching Confucius Classroom also conducts some special actions devoted to traditional festivals, classes on calligraphy, music, applied arts, lectures of Russian and foreign specialists in sinology. In the last years many scientific research projects were fulfilled within «Belt and Road» initiative. We can say, that such intensive activity of Confucius Classroom of Humanitarian Institute of NSU made it a wide-open window of Chinese language and culture for Siberian people.
