Recently, the Thailand regional final of the Third China Graduate International Chinese Language Education Case Competition was held at Dhurakij Pundit University in Thailand. The "Chinese Set Sail Team" from the Suphan Confucius Institute, jointly established by Guangxi University and Suan Dusit University, stood out from 11 teams shortlisted for the final and won the second prize in the Thailand region.

The competition is hosted by the China Association of Degree and Graduate Education and organized by Northwest Normal University. The Thailand regional event is organized by the Confucius Institute for the Maritime Silk Road, with the theme "Innovation Through Mutual Learning Among Civilizations: Chinese Language Lights Up Dreams." The competition features four tracks: "Mutual Learning Among Civilizations," "Digital and Intelligent Empowerment," "Chinese Language Application," and "Overseas Practice." After the case presentation, on-site defense, and expert review stages, the judges ultimately selected five winning teams, including one first prize, two second prizes, and two third prizes.

The "Chinese Set Sail Team" is composed of students from Guangxi University and Suan Dusit University. The team participated in the "Overseas Practice" track and completed the case writing and on-site presentation under the guidance of teachers from the School of Literature, Guangxi University. The case, titled "When 'Speaking Accurately' Meets 'Being Usable': Localization and Adaptation of a Twelve-Hour Chinese Course at a Thai Airport," focuses on the Chinese language needs of airport positions in its instructional design and explores Chinese teaching approaches adapted to overseas professional settings.
