Widely recognized at home and abroad
The qualification certificate of teaching Chinese as a foreign language has been widely recognized at home and abroad, which provides a guarantee for the professional development of teachers.
Historical origin
Since 2005, secondary vocational schools began to issue PAT qualification certificates for teaching Chinese as a foreign language, and carried out pilot work in first-tier cities in China to authorize local official authorization centers.
International teaching environment
During the TCFL teacher qualification training, a large number of foreign students created a strong cultural atmosphere for the training center. After careful training, teachers in China can try and finally teach during and after training, which improves teachers' teaching ability and ensures their employment.
Value and limitation
The certificate of teaching Chinese as a foreign language does have its value, but it is not the most valuable. Because international students usually ask for a trial lecture when choosing a teacher, only through the trial lecture can they become their teachers. Therefore, in order to continue to develop the profession of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, we need flexible and unique teaching style and keen observation besides solid teaching skills and excellent language foundation.
