ABSTRACT

This study takes the career development of international Chinese teachers as the research background, and explores the professional development path of international Chinese teachers and the characteristics of each stage. The study collected was collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and participation in observation. It is found that the professional development path of international Chinese teachers can be divided into four stages: introduction period, growth period, independent period and leading period. Each stage has different tasks, challenges, and support systems. Based on these findings, the researchers proposed a development model of the professional development path of international Chinese teachers, and deeply discussed the key factors in each stage. The results aim to provide professional development guidance for international Chinese teachers, as well as to provide reference for relevant educational institutions to design effective teacher development policies and support measures.
