The online Chinese and Chinese Culture program of the spring semester 2022 International Chinese Teacher Scholarship has been successfully concluded recently. A total of 93 students from 13 countries completed their 4-month online study with great success.
This online teaching program is a special online learning scholarship program launched by The Chinese-Foreign Language Cooperation and Exchange Center of the Ministry of Education to explore the new mode of "Internet + International Chinese Education" and provide opportunities for overseas Chinese learners to continue their learning in the context of the global epidemic. Our school actively responded to the application, improved the online teaching process, and organized project students to take part in online HSK and hskk examinations, helping the program students to consolidate and improve their Chinese proficiency, increase their understanding of modern China, and enhance their understanding and love of Chinese culture.
