Volunteer Chinese language teachers from Fujian Normal University who
returned from the Philippines were displaying their honorary certificates
on April 10. As the vogue of learning Chinese heats up in the world, many
countries and regions find more Chinese learners. China National Office
for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language has dispatched over 1,200
volunteers to teach Chinese in 23 countries. (File)
Chinanws, May 25 - National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign
Language anticipated that up to 2010, the number of foreigners learning
Chinese will reach 100 million worldwide. If every twenty students need a
teacher, 5 million Chinese teachers will be needed to teach these
foreigners at that time.
In recent years, China has increasingly enhanced its comprehensive
national strength and gradually played a higher role in the world arena,
which provides a unique opportunity for the international popularization
of Chinese language.
A report about the living status of Chinese language released on May 22
shows that in 2005, the number of foreigners learning Chinese neared 40
million while the number of teachers engaged in teaching Chinese as a
foreign language worldwide only totaled 40,000. The ratio of teacher to
student was 1 to 1,000.
At present, about 6,000 teachers are working full-time or part-time
teaching Chinese as a foreign language inside China, and only half of
them are certified to teach Chinese to foreigners.
