As a National Language Promotion Base and an Advanced Collective for the Promoting and Popularization of the National Common Language and Script, our College has devoted itself to the promotion and popularization of language and scriptfor many years. Relying on its distinctive media education expertise and integrating program resources across the College, it has advanced Mandarin promotion practice toward standardization, normalization, and branding. Over the past four years, our College’s practice teams have been continuously included among national-level Mandarin promotion practice teams and have repeatedly received national-level Mandarin promotion practice project approvals.
This summer, the two selected teams will travel to grassroots communities, drawing on their professional strengths in broadcasting and hosting, audio-based public outreach, and short-video and new-media content creation. They will provide a range of services, including promoting China’s national common spoken and written language, documenting ethnic minority cultures and local rural traditions, and improving digital media literacy in rural communities. Through their professional expertise, the teams aim to support language and cultural development at the grassroots level.
