This is the English edition of The International Curriculum for Chinese Language Education (Revised Edition).

The International Curriculum for Chinese Language Education has played an important role to guide the various methods of teaching Chinese language in Confucius Institutes (Confucius Classrooms) and primary, secondary and post-secondary educational institutions both at home and abroad since its publication in 2008.

To adapt to the changes of the educational situations of Chinese language and summarize in time the research findings on Chinese language teaching, an improved plan and guide was needed for designing Chinese language courses, compiling teaching materials, and making competence evaluations. Based on the investigations and feedback from all stakeholders, the Confucius Institute Headquarters/Hanban organized a committee and launched the Curriculum revision project in 2013. The revised Curriculum has adjusted the following aspects: 1. The hierarchical structure is adjusted to promote the integration of teaching and testing; 2. Practicability is highlighted and more examples are included; 3. Assessment is included and practical suggestions are provided; 4. Chinese teaching in different programs and different levels are considered. Local flexibility is encouraged; 5. The application of media resources is emphasized.
