The Training Mode of Local Chinese Language Teachers in Thailand: An Exploratory Analysis

Abstract

: The provision of Chinese language teaching in Thailand has rapidly increased over the period. After analyzing a survey of 60 local Chinese teachers based in Thailand, we find that teachers are primarily focused on improving their teaching methodology and classroom management skills, and their own general awareness of Chinese history and culture. In seeking to meet their training needs and enable them to resolve difficulties they encounter when teaching Chinese as a world language in Thailand, we establish a new and progressive QCLIF training mode and apply it to training practice. QCLIF is an abbreviation taken from the first letters of ‘question-oriented’; ‘case-study-based’; ‘learning and teaching’; ‘input and Output’; and ‘flipped classroom’. The QCLIF training mode is taken from the standards and requirements of world language education in various countries
