First, what is an international Chinese teacher?
Although international Chinese teachers are also teachers, there is no special teacher qualification certificate issued by the national human resources department. At the same time, the only official channel for the training and employment of Chinese as a foreign language in China is the Confucius Institute. Every year, Confucius Institute and Hanban Headquarters select a group of volunteers and public teachers and send them abroad for Chinese teaching activities. This is also the most formal, official and guaranteed form of employment abroad in China.
Of course, this is an exam that was officially re-implemented several years ago after a long absence from 10, so it goes without saying what the gold content of this certificate is.
Second, the advantages of the teacher qualification certificate for international Chinese teachers
First of all, this certificate is a very important reference for selecting volunteers or expatriate teachers in Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms in the future. Under the same conditions, if you hold this certificate, you will have a more competitive advantage.
2. This certificate is valid for 5 years, and relevant training needs to be completed after expiration.
Thirdly, the classification of qualification certificates for teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
1, Hanban certificate
Formerly known as the International Chinese Teacher Certificate, it was officially renamed as the International Chinese Teacher Certificate this year. This certificate is a necessary condition for teachers to apply for Hanban volunteers. With this certificate, teachers have the opportunity to apply for teaching in Confucius Institutes overseas. The international Chinese teacher certificate is also the only certificate recognized by the state, which has gold content in the market.
2. Various certificates
I won't introduce them one by one, because this certificate country doesn't recognize it. If there is any certificate in China that is useful, it must be a teacher qualification certificate. Some people say that with this certificate, I can apply for teaching Chinese as a foreign language overseas, which is actually wrong, very wrong, because foreign countries will never see if you have a certificate.
Foreign countries only look at the teacher's education and major, whether he has work experience or not, and whether he can speak a foreign language. What foreign countries want is a teacher who can teach and teach, and the certificate is not mandatory. Unfortunately, I haven't found the value of this certificate. The only value may be over-packaging.
Fourth, summary.
There is no limit to learning the sea. As long as you study hard, you can learn knowledge anywhere. As for the role of the certificate, I believe it is also linked to personal ability. Whether the certificate is useful or not is a matter of different opinions, but whether the knowledge and teaching skills are really learned in the training process is the most worthy of discussion. You have experience in teaching technology and have enough ability to teach there.
