1995年由美國南海公司中國語言教學研究中心發起,並與斯坦福大學、加州大學伯克萊分校、大衛斯分校等共同組織的首屆“中文電化教學國際研討會”,在許多學者的努力下於美國舉行。2006年第五屆中文電化教學國際研討會在香港城市大學成功舉辦。經過專家學者及與會代表經過熱烈的討論,大家表示,作為純學術團體,一定要充分發揮學會作用,嚴格按照章程辦事,盡到學會的責任。隨後,香港秘書處在香港成功註冊了“中文教學現代化學會”。
The Association for the Modernization of Chinese Language Teaching's origins can be traced back to 1995 and the American South Sea company's Chinese language teaching center, which along dedicated scholars from with Standford University, Berkeley University, and UC Davis, held the first International Conference on the Digitalization of Chinese Language Teaching. In 2006 the fifth International Conference on the Digitalization of Chinese Language Teaching was held in successfully in Hong Kong. After much passionate discussion between various experts and delegation representatives, the verdict was clear: as a purely academical body, the Assocation must fully withhold itself to its own goal of academic responsibilty, and thus an official residence was made in Hong Kong for the Association.
