About us

Chinese Language Teachers’ Association of the Northern Territory Incorporated (CLTANT) was established in 2018 and is governed by the CLTANT Constitution. CLTANT is associated with Professional Teachers’ Association of Northern Territory (PTANT) and Chinese Language Teachers’ Federation of Australia (CLTFA). It is a not-for-profit organisation and is run voluntarily by committee members comprised of local teachers, or staff related to Mandarin language teaching.

This year we aim to organise 3 professional development sessions for teachers and an immersion day in school term 4 to promote Mandarin language teaching and learning. We are very proud that CLTANT have been successfully expanding our active memberships to 11 schools in Darwin and Alice Springs including both primary and secondary schools.
