The British Chinese Language Teaching Society (BCLTS) is a nonprofit academic organisation of Chinese language teachers from UK universities. It is a sub-group of the British Association for Chinese Studies (BACS). The primary role of the Society is to work to enhance the quality of teaching Chinese as a second language at HE level, and to promote research into international Chinese education. In addition, it offers networking opportunities to those Chinese language teachers all over the world. BCLTS has in recent years begun to publish edited volume of conference proceedings based on a selection of papers delivered at the annual conference. This provides a showcase for research into Chinese language teaching in UK and other countries, and is part of BCLTS work in linking local teachers with peer colleagues in other parts of the world. The Society is managed by the committee officers elected by members at annual general meetings. Currently it has around 90 members from 40 UK universities which offer Chinese language courses.
