Today， the institute serves as a vital gatewayfor Russian society to learn the Chinese language，understand Chinese culture， and stay updated on thelatest developments in China.

易福成院长一直注重中文教学质量，反对“求速”的语言学习态度。他认为，“这其实违反了语言学习的本质。不能求速，也不能求量，必须求质。”因此，在与学生面对面交流时，他常常现身说法，希望学生能在学习中文的过程中，从自身的学习兴趣出发，乐在其中。

隨着中文被纳入埃及中小学教育体系，开罗大学孔子学院编写了适合埃及中小学生的中文教材。孔子学院非常重视“汉语桥”比赛，一位学生曾代表埃及来中国参加总决赛，并获得了第一名的好成绩。此外，孔子学院还通过举办各种活动，如诗歌朗诵、讲故事、唱歌比赛等，来提高学生们使用中文的能力。这些活动不仅丰富了学生们的文化生活，还加深了他们对中国文化的兴趣和理解。

As Chinese language programs became integratedinto Egypts primary and secondary school curricula，the Confucius Institute at Cairo University has tailoredChinese language materials specifically for Egyptianstudents. The institute places significant emphasis onthe “Chinese Bridge” competition， where one of theirstudents represented Egypt in the final competition inChina and won the first prize. The institute has hosteda variety of activities， including poetry recitations，storytelling sessions， and singing contests， all aimed atenhancing students proficiency in using the Chineselanguage. These events not only enrich studentscultural experiences but also deepen their interest inand appreciation of Chinese culture.

开罗大学孔子学院不仅关注语言教学，还致力于培养优秀的中文教师：从三年级开始开设一系列中文教师培训班，进行系统培训，其中包含教材编写、教学方法等内容。此外，孔子学院还与北京大学建立了合作关系，每年都会邀请两三位北大教师为埃及的中文教师开设讲座。

The institute doesnt limit itself to languageinstruction; it is equally committed to trainingexceptional Chinese language teachers. It offers aseries of workshops， including training on curriculumdevelopment and teaching methodologies， for localChinese teachers starting from the third grade up. Furthermore， the institute has established apartnership with Peking University， regularly invitingtwo to three professors from Peking University eachyear to lecture Chinese language teachers in Egypt.
