Promote Abroad Chinese Teaching

In recent years, many academic conferences were held about the topic of Chinese teaching as a foreign language and international Chinese promotion. The experts often discuss and debate focus on the teaching materials, teachers and teaching methods of Chinese teaching. With the rapid development of Confucius Institute, the problems of the three issues are getting obvious. They think it comes to the most difficult time for the promotion of Chinese language teaching. And the rapid development of Confucius Institute causes the problem of the shortage of the Chinese teachers abroad.

The professor Wang Jianqin believes the reason of the teaching materials, teachers and teaching techniques problems is the efficiency of the Chinese international communication resources allocation. Some of the foreign students from qualified Mandarin program in China may be told that the language education service such as teachers, teaching books and teaching methods provided by the Chinese international promotion totally belong to the typical products. That is to say, all Chinese learners can share this service but there are competitiveness between the products and service.

As the public products supply, the language education service like Chinese materials, teachers and teaching ways can be governmental nonprofit organizations and also some enterprises. These products provided by the nonprofit organizations and enterprises will be more effective because the language education service belongs to a "crowded" public product and the students who learn Chinese language have various differences in the requirements and preferences. But some other thinks that the low efficiency of the recourses allocation is owing to that the enterprises have no access to the field of language education service.

According to the analysis, in the process of sending the Chinese teachers abroad, we can seldom see the action made by the social education training institutions. And even though the nonprofit Confucius Institute without teachers training conditions is rapidly developing, it relies on the some of the universities which can provide Chinese teachers. Some students who learn Chinese language in China may ask whether it will be better if the Chinese teaching materials are provided by the publishing houses and other enterprises.

Since the requirements of the Chinese language learners are diverse, the enterprises may allocate resource according to the market demands, realizing the large industrial scale of Chinese language teaching materials and solving the problem of the localization of the teaching materials. It seems that more attention should be paid to this aspect.
