The Centre for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (CTCFL) at the University of Oxford is located in the Institute for Chinese Studies in Walton Street, Oxford. The Centre is funded for its initial phase from 1998 to 2001 by the Jessie and Thomas Tam Charitable Foundation of Hong Kong. Workshops and research projects run by the British Chinese Language Teaching Society are supported by CTCFL. At the present, the centre focuses on the development of online and multimedia language teaching.
The Centre focuses on creating web-based or computer assisted programmes to improve Chinese language teaching and learning. Other units of Oxford University that are involved in these projects are the Institute for Chinese Studies (ICS) and the Oxford University Computer Services
