From July 13 to 16, 2025, the Joint Deans Meeting of the Thai Confucius Institutes & Classrooms Development Alliance and the International Chinese Language Education Seminar were grandly held in Hat Yai, Thailand. As a core bond facilitating linguistic communication and people-to-people connectivity between China and Thailand, Thai Confucius Institutes and Classrooms have long been committed to cultivating bilingual interdisciplinary talents, laying a solid cultural foundation for consolidating the profound friendship of “China-Thailand One Family” and boosting bilateral political mutual trust and economic cooperation.
Marking the pivotal milestone of the 50th golden anniversary of China-Thailand diplomatic relations, the conference brought together Chinese and Thai education elites, government officials and representatives of cutting-edge tech enterprises to discuss innovations and development paths for international Chinese language education. As an innovative pioneer in China’s smart interactive technology sector, Shadow Technology was honored to be invited to the event, demonstrating to global education practitioners how optical touch interaction and smart projection technology can redefine classroom experiences for Chinese language learning.
At the opening ceremony, distinguished guests delivered speeches in sequence, including Wang Zhijian, Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in Songkhla; Xu Lan, Education Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Thailand; Zhao Lingshan, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Chinese International Language Education Foundation; Dr. Wang Xuebin, Vice President of Prince of Songkla University; and Professor Sun Jieyuan, President of Guangxi Normal University. The speakers jointly explored innovations in international Chinese language education, noting that global Chinese teaching is undergoing a transformation from universal popularization to quality improvement, with technological integration acting as a vital driving force. This vision aligns perfectly with Shadow Technology’s philosophy of empowering education through optical touch interaction.
During the seminar session, Ms. Xia, President of Shadow Technology, delivered a keynote speech titled Boundless Touch, Smart Projection for the Future: A New Paradigm of Chinese Language Education Enabled by Smart Touch Technology. She analyzed how Shadow Technology’s core technologies reshape Chinese language teaching and fuel educational advancement. President Xia stated that our goal is to deliver zero-distance, highly immersive interactive experiences, enabling students in Thailand and across the globe to grow fond of Chinese through playful engagement and gain in-depth insights into Chinese culture via interactive sessions.
The on-site demonstration of Shadow’s interactive touch projector won widespread high recognition from all attendees for its versatile functions and extended application value:
Boundless Interaction
Advanced optical touch technology delivers high-precision, low-latency touch response, turning any flat surface into a touch-enabled giant screen instantly. It supports multi-person collaboration and greatly boosts classroom participation.
Immersive Presentation
High-definition large-screen projection vividly displays Chinese characters, cultural scenes and stories, strengthening memory retention and deepening comprehension.
Full Teaching Compatibility
Seamlessly compatible with all types of teaching software and online learning resources, the device equips teachers with flexible tools to support diverse teaching modes including interactive games, simulated exercises and cultural showcases, enhancing classroom engagement.
Lightweight Deployment
Portable and easy to install, the equipment requires minimal renovation to upgrade traditional classrooms, effectively alleviating the imbalance in educational resource distribution.
During the conference, Shadow Technology joined the delegation to visit Prince of Songkla University, Guoguang Middle School Confucius Classroom in Hat Yai, Songkhla Rajabhat University and Songkhla Overseas Chinese Public School, witnessing the vigorous development of Chinese language education across Thailand. Through extensive exchanges with all parties, we secured significant letters of intent for cooperation with multiple Confucius Institutes. Based on shared development visions, both sides are actively planning interactive courses that integrate language learning and Chinese cultural experience powered by Shadow’s optical touch projection technology. A benchmark immersive Chinese learning classroom pilot project will be launched in Thailand to translate technological innovation into tangible classroom upgrades and elevate the quality and efficiency of Chinese language teaching.
