华美协进社注重弘扬中国文化，是美国历史最悠久的中美两文化教育机构，在教育领域中的历史传承可追溯到1926年该社的创始人胡适和杜威教授。自成立以来，华美协进社一如既往推进中美两国人民之间的交往，促进相互间的了解。教育网站是华美协进社最新的创举，旨在履行一个崭新的无国界时代赋予我们的新的历史使命。

寄语：
面临信息化时代，国际汉语教育就需要依靠网络和多媒体技术构建合适的情境，通过协作和会话使汉语学习有突破性的进展。网络为汉语学习资源的传播提供了崭新的平台，同时也成为连接教室空间、虚拟空间和真实空间的有效工具，全方位学习汉语成为现实。多媒体为汉语学习提供了多通道的感受，学习汉语的效率因此而得到提高。这个网站的正式开通，体现了华美协进社在和华东师范大学的合作中强强联合的优势，相信这将为汉语在美国的推广提供一个新天地。
