Multinational Chinese schools actively explore new ways of development
2022-11-18
With the recent signing of the memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Education of Cambodia and the Ministry of Education of China on cooperation in Chinese language education projects in Cambodian secondary schools, Chinese language education has been officially incorporated into the Cambodian national education system. In recent years, with the wide spread of Chinese culture overseas and the improvement of China's influence, overseas Chinese education has flourished. Chinese schools in many countries have also been exploring in practice, trying to find a new way of development in the post epidemic era. "Good teaching philosophy should be combined with practice." Pan Lili, the principal of Spanish Both Language School, said that the school has tried interdisciplinary teaching since 2018 and achieved good results, which coincides with the recent educational reform in Spain. "Spain advocates the inclusion of competency assessment in performance assessment." The epidemic has changed the traditional teaching methods and brought new development opportunities for Chinese schools. "Following the idea of online teaching, we have expanded the enrollment scope beyond Italy." Fu Wenwu, the principal of the Italian Sino Italian School, said in an online interview with reporters that students taking online courses are now distributed in many European countries. For some students who are remote and have fewer Chinese schools in their own countries, there is also a more convenient platform for learning Chinese. In recent years, the student group of overseas Chinese schools is no longer limited to Chinese Americans, and their learning objectives are increasingly diversified. Pan Lili said that at present, among Spanish groups learning Chinese, there are adults as well as children. They learn language to engage in trade related to China or go to China to work and live. "A legal expert from the EU Intellectual Property Office will work in Beijing for three years, and he is now learning Chinese with me." Pan Lili said. In the opinion of Chen Wei, the principal of Stuttgart Chinese School in Germany, quite a few people learn Chinese out of interest. "Many Germans want to understand different cultures and make life more exciting, so they will first learn to communicate in Chinese, plan to travel to China, and then learn some Chinese after coming back, so as to better understand China based on their own experience." Chen Wei said. With the development of the times, the concept of Chinese education is constantly changing. "In the past, we used to teach according to books, but now we also do more courses related to Chinese culture." Luo Jian, the headmaster of the French Little Panda School, said that in addition to the existing language courses, the school has also set up table tennis, calligraphy, programming and other courses in recent years. Teachers teach in Chinese. While children understand the Chinese culture, they also imperceptibly improve their Chinese ability, which is quite like "teaching in music". According to Luo Jian, France is one of the first countries in Europe to open Chinese education, and Chinese is often the first foreign language in international schools. "Popular theme education in France pays more attention to cultivating children's ability to learn independently." Luo Jian said, "Let the child start from his interest, he will always like Chinese, and he can persist when he grows up." Walking between Chinese culture and living culture, overseas Chinese teaching needs to find a balance between the two cultures. Chen Wei believes that Chinese education should not only spread Chinese culture, but also adapt to local cultural concepts and create a suitable learning environment for students. "There are some non Chinese families in Italy. They like Chinese culture very much. Now that China is at the forefront of the world, they will send their children to school
