Research on the Current Status,,Characteristics and Development Strategies of Professional Chinese Education in Southeast Asia
Professional Chinese education plays a significant role in supporting the economic and trade cooperation between China and the countries along the"Belt and Road"initiative.Southeast Asia,as a crucial node in the construction of the"Belt and Road",makes the research on Professional Chinese education in this region particularly important.Professional Chinese education in Southeast Asia is characterized by diverse collaborative models among training institutions(inter-school,school-enterprise,government-school-enterprise),with Chinese support in developing a dual-qualified teaching staff,educational resources that reflect national differences,and course content and methods closely aligned with societal needs.However,there are challenges such as difficulties in implementing school-enterprise collaboration models,a shortage of dual-qualified teachers,and education-al resources not meeting industry demands.China should collaborate with Southeast Asian countries to open up channels of co-operation between governments,schools,and enterprises,establishing a linkage model for the high-quality development of Professional Chinese education;expand the sources of dual-qualified Professional Chinese teaching staff,and jointly develop professional competency standards for such teachers;co-create and share Professional Chinese educational resources,utilizing artificial intelligence to support the development of digital teaching resources for Professional Chinese;and establish reference standards for Professional Chinese courses.
