美東中文學校協會第五十屆年會,將於今年五月廿七、廿八兩天在麻州波士頓西郊的 DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston - Westborough (5400 Computer Dr., Westborough, MA)舉行。 此一盛會每年均有六百多人參加，不僅是每年美國東部超過五十所中文學校的師生熱切期盼的大型活動,也是所有中文學校緊密結合、聚集一堂的難得機會。

目前在全美各地的協會及聯誼會中,美東中文學校協會是規模最大的組織之一,其成立目的在於提昇中文教學的品質,並藉經驗的交流,培訓優良的師資。而本協會所舉辦的年會,係藉著教學研討、觀摩切磋及專家講授,以創新化及科技化的教學方式,來宣揚中華文化並將華語文導入主流社會,提昇主流社會及新一代僑民對中華文化的認識與認同。 年會亦舉辦各項活動,諸如:國語演講比賽、壁報比賽、多媒體比賽、華文歌唱比賽、扯鈴比賽等學藝競賽,以及優良學生等項目,藉以鼓勵師生爭取最高榮譽。

本協會始於一九七四年創立。 時至今日,華語文教育的發展,已經不侷限於華人及華裔,也開始涵蓋到各種不同族群。 為了普及華語文教育,本會利用每年國殤節的長假,集合各地教育界之先進及菁英,為提昇華語文教育貢獻心力,使傳承的工作能不斷注入活水泉源。多年來推廣華語文教育的努力也逐漸得到了美國教育界的重視,僑教在這其中扮演著舉足輕重的角色。

爰此今年年會主題擬訂如下:

弘揚傳統文化，追求創新精神

美東中文學校協會竭誠邀請您闔府參加年會,共聚一堂就中文教學互相觀摩,經驗分享,一起為傳揚中華文化,提昇中文教學共同努力,也趁此機會流覽麻州波士頓地區豐富的歷史、學術與文化,享受一個豐盛的國殤日長週末!

耑此,順頌時祺!

Event: The Association of Chinese Schools’ (ACS) 50th Annual Conference
Date: A two-day event to be held on May 27th and May 28th, 2023
Location: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston - Westborough

It’s the time for the ACS annual conference to be held near Boston. Again we expect that more than 50 Chinese schools with more than 600 teachers and students will participate in the exciting and encouraging educational and informational activities that we have planned. We are now inviting you and your families and friends to join us.

The ACS annual conference is a great occasion to gather and mingle together all the talented and dedicated teachers and instructors from the Chinese schools to share educational experiences and best teaching practices. Each year the attendees engage in lectures, workshops, and activities designed to promote Chinese language and culture, and to enhance teaching skills.

As one of the largest and oldest Chinese language and culture organizations within the United States, ACS, with its guiding mission to enhance the quality of Chinese teaching through the active exchange of experience and shared best practices, has proved to be a cherished and venerable nonprofit organization. We can accomplish our excellence and longevity because our vital mission to effectively promote the value of Chinese culture and language has been acknowledged by the mainstream. Within the multicultural community in which we live, for both the students who are our next generation and for all those who endorse us, the well-prepared planning and execution of our annual conference, with the ample training seminars, games, presentations, and workshops, provides opportunities to observe and learn from experts, to explore new and innovative technologies and approaches, and to sample technology-driven teaching methods designed to enhance the learning experience.

The key to our success is your participation! ACS invites you and your families to attend this year’s annual meeting. Our sincere hope is that we use this golden opportunity not only to meet together to observe, learn, and share the most up-to-date techniques and technologies on Chinese teaching, but also to take the opportunity to explore the rich history of Boston, both academic and cultural. Let’s come to the conference to enjoy a memorable and wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Sincerely,

Nelson Tai
ACS President
