How to be a Chinese teacher Zhihu?

With the rapid economic growth, China's comprehensive national strength has also increased rapidly, and China's influence in society has also gradually increased. The craze for Chinese and going abroad is the best proof. The craze for Chinese and going abroad caused by the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 12 London Olympic Games has, to some extent, promoted the enthusiasm of foreign students for learning Chinese as a foreign language. However, it is understood that the number of teachers engaged in teaching Chinese as a foreign language has reached more than 5 million.

Teaching Chinese as a foreign language is a hot job and a well-paid job. Can I be a Chinese teacher as long as I can speak Mandarin and a foreign language? The answer is definitely no, let's listen to the introduction of the basic qualities that professional training teachers of Shanghai Music Language International Chinese College should have!

First of all, you must pass the standard of Putonghua. The so-called clearance means that according to Hanban's recognition of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, it is necessary to reach level 2 or above. As a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language, the more standard Mandarin is, the better.

Secondly, we should have corresponding knowledge of Chinese. Not everyone who can speak Mandarin can engage in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. The target of teaching Chinese as a foreign language is mainly people whose mother tongue is not Chinese, which is influenced by time, conditions, environment, mother tongue and learning motivation. They learn Chinese mainly by language rules, not by listening to their children's mother tongue. After all, they already have a complete system of their mother tongue in their minds, and it is much more difficult to accept another completely different language. Therefore, teachers of teaching Chinese as a foreign language should be able to explain the basic rules of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, just as we learn English not by leaning words and listening, but by learning English grammar to understand the knowledge system of English, and to choose words and sentences correctly and communicate with people.

Third, master the necessary knowledge and skills of China culture. Language and culture are inseparable. Especially Chinese, has a long history. Chinese is not a language, but also contains a lot of China culture. Learning Chinese must involve China's cultural knowledge. Therefore, when teaching foreign students, it must be combined with China culture. Only in this way can students master knowledge better.

Finally, we should have good communication skills and good foreign language skills. Chinese teachers should have affinity and good communication skills. Learning a foreign language is different from learning other mother tongue subjects. In the process of learning a foreign language, active classroom atmosphere and good communication are needed, which requires teachers to have certain foreign language skills. Besides in class, students will have many problems after class. If the teacher communicates with the students in Putonghua, some contents can't be fully understood, so it will be easier for the students to accept it in a foreign language at an appropriate time.

In a word, you can't be a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language if you master a foreign language and Mandarin. Through the above understanding, do you feel that you still lack something?
