The Comparative Analysis and Empirical Research on the Professional Competence Standards for International Chinese Language Teachers
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this research were to investigate the development and changes of the "Professional Competency Standards for International Chinese Language Teachers" (T/ISCLT 001-2022) (New Standards) released by the International Society for Chinese Language Teaching (ISCLT) in August 2022. This research aimed to analyze the characteristics, impacts, and underlying issues presented by the new standards. Additionally, the study sought to provide recommendations for further research in this area. The population for this study consisted of international Chinese language teachers. A sample of 117 teachers was selected using a purposive sampling technique to ensure representation and relevance. The research instruments used in this study included comparative analysis, questionnaire surveys, and data analysis using SPSS 26 software which were employed to gather and interpret the findings effectively.
It was concluded that the "New Standard" has demonstrated a positive impact on promoting the development of international Chinese language education.However, there are also issues that need to be addressed, such as the immature certification norms. Therefore, further exploration and improvement of the application mechanism of the "New Standard" are necessary in future research and practice, providing valuable references and suggestions for the further enhancement of subsequent standards and the improvement of teaching practices.
