This competition effectively enhanced the practical teaching capabilities and experience of our graduate students in Chinese international education, achieving the objectives of promoting learning through competition and enhancing teaching through competition. The outstanding results achieved by our students in this competition fully demonstrate the effectiveness of our graduate training in Chinese international education.
As an integral part of SIE's academic education, we have always placed high importance on cultivating high-quality talents in international Chinese education and enhancing students' practical teaching abilities and cultural literacy in Chinese culture. Currently, our degree programs have established a comprehensive process-oriented practice capability training system, covering internships, cultural dissemination practices, competition training, and other modules. Through diversified practice training activities and the establishment of inter-regional and inter-school practice bases, we comprehensively improve students' comprehensive practical abilities.
Looking forward, SIE will continue to align with national development strategies, continuously explore new methods, models, and pathways for cultivating talents in international Chinese education, integrating the organic development of storytelling and the promotion of Chinese voices among Chinese and foreign students. We will persistently enhance the quality of training for international Chinese teachers, contributing continuously to the university's "Double First-Class" construction and international development efforts.
