The 8th China TCI (Teaching with Comprehensible Input) Conference
Meaningful Connections, Meaningful Teaching
有意义的相遇,有意义的课堂
The 8th China TCI Conference brings together English teachers from across China and language educators from around the world for four transformative days of learning, sharing, and connection.
Hosted by Gogolearning 教师成长学苑 and held at the beautiful Hangzhou Yungu School, this year's conference theme — Meaningful Connections, Meaningful Teaching — invites us to reflect on what it truly means to teach with comprehensible input: not just as a method, but as a philosophy of care.
Since 2018, the China TCI Conference has grown into one of the most influential language teaching gatherings in Asia, bringing together a global community united by a shared belief: that language is acquired, not learned by force.
Four days of workshops, keynotes, and meaningful connections — July 6 to 9, 2026.

To our dear friends from all over the world — welcome to Hangzhou! The Gogolearning team is so excited to have you here in one of the most extraordinary cities in China.
Hangzhou has captivated visitors for over two millennia. Marco Polo, who passed through in the 13th century, called it "the finest and most splendid city in the world" — and once you've walked along West Lake at dusk, you'll understand exactly what he meant.
But Hangzhou is far more than its past. This is also the city that gave birth to Alibaba, earning it the nickname "China's Silicon Valley." Ancient tea terraces and cutting-edge tech campuses exist side by side here — and somehow, it works beautifully.
During your time here, we hope you'll find a moment to sip freshly brewed Longjing tea, wander through the old streets of Hefang, and let the city surprise you in ways you didn't expect. Welcome — we're so glad you're here.
We've put together everything you need to know so you can arrive with confidence and focus on what matters — connecting and learning.
