Hong Kong's unique culture, historical traditions, and advanced technology create advantages for the endeavors of the Department of Chinese Language Studies. Under the recent development directions of the Education University of Hong Kong, the Department aims to further strengthen its position in and beyond Greater China to make an impact on the teaching and research of Chinese in the international academic community. The Department has made remarkable achievements in Chinese language education, teaching and research in Chinese linguistics, and teaching Chinese as a second language; yet we keep aspiring to advance and become internationally renowned. We will continue to pursue excellence by giving equal attention to teaching and research. The Department has always attached great importance to cultivating students' vision and ability in Chinese language and cross-cultural communication to foster personal and social development. In addition, we strive to strengthen exchange and cooperation with the outside world to promote the modernization and internationalization of Chinese language education, Chinese linguistics, and Chinese digital humanities with the goal of providing a strong foundation for the development of students, society, and academia in our continuous quest for innovation and breakthrough.
