The National Chinese Language Conference is online next week — and it’s free!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual National Chinese Language Conference is happening online this year, Wednesday through Friday June 24-26, and it’s free.

Of course the online version will be much diminished from the usual rich mix of interactions, school visits and presentations that bring educators up to date on the latest in Chinese instruction. But it is one of the places were the newest innovations in Mandarin immersion tend to be introduced.

The only silver lining of moving online is that this year offers a chance for those of us who can’t take a week off, or don’t have anyone to pay for a week at a conference, to attend and see the latest and the greatest.

Yes, it’s some serious immersion geeking out, but for those of us who love this stuff, what could be better to do for a couple of hours every day next week?
