Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Confucius Institute facilitates granting scholarship to students of Chinese language to Confucius Institute Headquarters

 

AMMAN----October13, 2015----- A total of 18 students were awarded scholarships by Confucius Institute Headquarters/Hanban China under the recommendation of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Confucius Institute (TAG-CI). 

 

The awarded students have begun their one-academic-semester study and one-academic-year study in China now. After finishing their study, they will be able to have opportunity to apply for their Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Shenyang Normal University, the official partner of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Confucius Institute (TAG-CI), in addition to high school and executive programs with other concerned universities in China.  

 

Through teaching Chinese for kids and adults and introducing the language and Chinese culture, conducting Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK), providing consultation services in education in addition to other services, organizing Summer Camp to China, TAG-CI has been fulfilling the vision and goals of HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh to strengthen the existing cooperation relations with China in various fields of education and academic exchange. 

 

 

TAG-CI pays special attention to the teaching of the Chinese language in Jordan, noting that the Chinese language is the most widely-spoken language in the world not only in China, but also in South East Asia, North America and Europe. 

 

In addition, the Chinese economy has been witnessing a fast growth as potentially the biggest global market in the 21st century. More people around the world are fascinated by China’s rapid technological development and economic growth; thus getting to realize the potential benefits they can reap by learning about the Chinese culture and communication skills.

 

Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Confucius Institute (TAG-Confucius) was established in September 2008, aiming at introducing Chinese language and culture, and achieving more mutual understanding between the Arabic and Chinese cultures. This unique initiative is based on a cooperation agreement between TAG-Org and Confucius Institute Headquarters in China. The name Confucius was given to the Institute after the Chinese great thinker, teacher and philosopher Confucius whose thoughts influenced China and other areas in the world for about two thousand years.
