From October 30 to November 1, 2025, a delegation from the Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia was invited to Brașov, Romania, to attend the First International Symposium on Chinese Language, Literature, and Culture, hosted by the Confucius Institute at Transilvania University of Brașov. The symposium brought together scholars and Chinese language educators from China, Romania, Latvia, Thailand, Switzerland, Brazil, Albania, Greece, Montenegro, and other countries to engage in academic exchanges on Chinese language teaching, linguistics, cross-cultural communication, literature, and translation studies.

The opening ceremony featured remarks by Mr. Zhou Guoning, Head of the Education Section of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Romania. Professor Adrian LecaTuș, Dean of the Faculty of Letters at Transilvania University, and Dr. Corina Silvia Micu (Chinese name: Baolong), Romanian Director of the Confucius Institute, also delivered speeches, warmly welcoming all participants and extending sincere appreciation to the organizing committee and all partners for their support and cooperation.

The delegation from the Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia consisted of Chinese Director Dr. He Dong and his spouse Ms. Tao Liping, Chinese-government-sponsored teacher Mr. Guo Mengran, and local Chinese language teacher Ms. Madara Smalkā. They actively participated in academic discussions and exchange sessions throughout the conference. The research team from our institute delivered a presentation in the “Second Language Acquisition and Cross-cultural Studies” panel titled “Analysis on Questions in Class of Chinese as a Foreign Language in Latvia.” The paper was co-authored by He Dong, Guo Mengran, Madara Smalkā, and Prof. Pēteris Pildegovičs (corresponding author). The study explored localized Chinese language teaching practices in Latvia, focusing on motivational differences, unequal classroom participation, and curriculum adaptation in mixed-age, mixed-level classes. The presentation also proposed differentiated instructional strategies, culturally contextualized teaching approaches, and positive classroom assessment mechanisms grounded in action research. The report received positive feedback from attending experts and scholars.

Following the closing session, directors and teachers from multiple Confucius Institutes gathered at the Confucius Institute in Brașov for a roundtable meeting. During thematic discussions, participants examined key challenges in teaching Chinese phonetics, vocabulary, and pragmatics, and proposed multi-dimensional instructional approaches emphasizing “interest-driven learning, achievement motivation, and cultural integration.” The dialogue underscored the importance of integrating language instruction with cultural transmission and offered new perspectives and strategies for advancing Chinese education across Central and Eastern Europe.

This symposium not only showcased the achievements of the Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia in international Chinese language education and cross-cultural communication but also further strengthened its academic influence in the Central and Eastern European region. Guided by the principles of openness, cooperation, and mutual learning, the Confucius Institute will continue to deepen educational collaboration between Latvia, China, and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, contributing to mutual understanding, cultural exchange, and the fostering of closer people-to-people ties.
