In response to the evolving demands of English language education across China, the British Council has organised the China TeachingEnglish Online Conference 2025: Adapting to Change, an innovative, multi-format professional development event aimed at English language teachers, educators, and policy-makers across China.
Running from 14 October of 6 November 2025, the online conference will provide free, high-impact training and thought leadership to support English language professionals working in complex and rapidly evolving educational environments. From the rise of AI in classrooms to policy shifts across China, English language teaching faces increasing pressure to adapt. This conference is designed not just to respond—but to lead. It also reflects the British Council’s commitment to supporting regional development goals through English language education as a tool for opportunity, connection, and innovation.
