What it Takes to be a Good International Chinese Teacher

Abstract

After the recovery of international Chinese education in 2023, the demand for international Chinese teachers overseas has returned, which also means that the demand for truly excellent international Chinese teachers has also begun to rise. As a student who is about to become an international Chinese teacher, how to become an excellent international Chinese teacher and complete the teaching mission of an international Chinese teacher is the main issue worthy of deep consideration. Thinking about this issue can be carried out throughout the student's learning life and into future teaching activities. "The unity of knowledge and action" is the most common point in Chinese philosophical wisdom, and it is also the most difficult point to achieve in practical activities. As an excellent international Chinese teacher, we must achieve the "unity of knowledge and action", clarify the teaching mission in the teaching process, take positive and correct concepts as the guide, and truly achieve the responsibility and mission of "language teaching and cultural dissemination" that a Chinese language teacher should do, so as to promote the development of Chinese to the world and expand more possibilities for exchanges between China and the world.
