Teachers are the practitioners and promoters of international Chinese education, and their professional competence is the fundamental factor affecting the quality of teaching in this field. Teaching skills are a key component of teachers’ professional abilities, and the development of international Chinese education has placed higher demands on these skills. Pre-service international Chinese language teachers, as the reserve force for international Chinese education instructors, must possess high-level teaching skills to keep pace with the evolving trends in international Chinese education. This article focuses on the teaching skill training of pre-service international Chinese language teachers, examining the practical teaching skills training of masters in Chinese international education who aspire to become pre-service international Chinese language teachers. Following the latest standards and norms such as the “Professional Competence Standards for International Chinese Language Teachers,” this study deeply analyzes the connotation, characteristics, and laws of teachers' teaching skills, exploring ways to improve practical training of teaching skills. Through methods such as questionnaire surveys, interview survey, literature review, statistical analysis method and case studies, this thesis comprehensively understands the current status of pre-service teachers’ practical training of teaching skills , analyzes the existing problems and influencing factors, and discusses the construction of a new practical training system. Simultaneously, the article selects case universities with comprehensive consideration, comprehensively examines the training of teaching skills training in case universities, then propose improvement suggestions for teaching skills training in case universities. The study finds that currently, masters in Chinese international education, as pre-service international Chinese language teachers, have insufficient mastery of teaching skills. The overall teaching skill level is not high, which is at a moderate level. At the level of influencing factors, the overall design of the school’s practical training programs , students’ self-cognition of teaching skills training, students’ participation in extracurricular activities and teaching competitions, school internship training, school practical training course settings and teaching methods, and graduate tutor guidance impact the training of teaching skills cultivation. Therefore, combining engineering education concepts, coordinating the design of overall practical teaching programs, and constructing a new model of practical education are effective ways to promote the teaching skills of pre-service international Chinese language teachers. The main research contents of the full text are as follows: Chapter 1, “The Basic Connotation of Professional Competence and Teaching Skills of International Chinese Language Teachers,” is divided into three aspects: First, it clarifies the connection and difference between the professional competence and teaching skills of international Chinese language teachers, defines the concept of teaching skills in detail, and combs the connotation of practical teaching. Second, based on professional-related documents such as the “Guiding Training Program for Full-time Master's Degree Students in Chinese International Education” and the “Professional Competence Standards for International Chinese Language Teachers,” (abbr. New version) it analyzes and explores the components and basic content of teaching skills for international Chinese Language teachers based on new standard. Thirdly, to sort out the development and current situation of pre-service international Chinese teacher training, mainly focusing on the cultivation and practical teaching of masters in Chinese International Education as pre-service teachers. Chapter 2, “Research Design and Implementation of the Current Status of Pre-service International Chinese Teachers' Teaching Skills Practical Training,” mainly explains the survey design and implementation process regarding the current status of pre-service international Chinese teachers’ teaching skills practical training. Firstly, on macroscopic level, combining the “Professional Competence Standards for International Chinese Language Teachers,” a questionnaire and interview outline for Master of Chinese International Education was designed to comprehensively understand Master of Chinese International Education’s mastery of teaching skills and influencing factors. The questionnaire adopts a five-point Likert scale, covering three major sections: basic information, the current status of teaching skills mastery, and influencing factors, and uses SPSS software for statistical analysis. Meanwhile, interviews were conducted with Master in Chinese International Education, graduate tutors, and teachers to discuss students' awareness and attitudes toward teaching skills training, self-assessment, professional training participation, and training suggestions from the student and teacher level. Secondly, it explains the consideration factors of choosing case universities, as well as the research design combining literature research, questionnaire survey and field research adopted in the case universities. Chapter 3, “Investigation and Analysis of the Current Situation of Pre-service International Chinese Teachers' Teaching Skills Training,” conducted a descriptive analysis of the questionnaire and interview results. The survey found that: Currently, pre-service teachers have significant deficiencies in teaching skills mastery, which is at a medium level. At the level of influencing factors of teaching skills, the overall profile of school practical training impact teaching skills cultivation, students’ cognition of teaching skills training, participation in extracurricular activities and teaching competitions, school internship training, school practical training course content and teaching methods and graduate tutor guidance. Therefore, it is necessary to study targeted improvement paths to promote teaching practical skills training for pre-service international Chinese teachers. Chapter 4, “Architecture of the Teaching Skills Training System for Chinese International Education Based on the CDIO Education Concept,” attempts to construct a new practical teaching skills training mode for international Chinese teachers based on the aforementioned research that clarifies the current situation and existing problems of teaching skills training. Guided by programmatic documents such as the “Professional Competence Standards for International Chinese Teachers,” and incorporating the concepts of “learning by doing” and “project-based teaching” from engineering education, this chapter delves into the theoretical foundation, core concepts, construction principles, main content, and evaluation mechanism of teaching skills training. The aim is to build a teaching skills practical training mode that not only conforms to the characteristics of international Chinese education but also adapts to changes in industry demands. Chapter 5, “A Case Study on Pre-service Training of Teaching Skills for International Chinese Teachers in Universities,” this chapter comprehensively considers the factors such as the history and demonstration of degree training and selects the teaching skills practical training condition of master’s degree students in Chinese International Education at a university in Chongqing (hereinafter referred to as “C University”) as the case study object. Based on the aforementioned research, through research methods such as literature research, questionnaire surveys and statistical analysis, this chapter conducts an in-depth analysis of the basic situation and effectiveness of the school’s teaching skills practical training in case universities, and proposes improvement suggestions for teaching skills practical training based on existing problems. The conclusion summarizes the full text and presents the deficiencies and prospects of the research. |
