- Description
- The establishment of the Confucius Institutes at Australian universities has contributed to the promotion of Chinese language teaching, which has opened an alternative path for the people in wider local communities to understand Chinese culture. At the same time, some controversial issues of cultural and political concerns have arisen in terms of the relationship between the host Australian universities and the associated Confucius Institutes in relation to pedagogy and curriculum. This paper reports on a case study of two Australian universities as a pilot study, leading to a further debate on the role of the Confucius Institutes in Australian universities.
