Specialization introduction

Major introduction

Cultivates Chinese language teaching experts who can teach Chinese, understand education, and communicate across cultures. Ideal for those who want to become teachers or work in Chinese language education.

Program overview

Subject Teaching (Chinese) is a popular direction under the Master of Education. Simply put, it's about 'how to teach Chinese.' You might think Chinese is just learning characters and reading texts, but in this program, you'll discover it's actually a discipline about 'how to make people from different backgrounds fall in love with Chinese and learn to express themselves.' Core courses include Chinese Curriculum and Teaching Theory, Textbook Analysis and Design, Educational Psychology, and Language Testing and Evaluation. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field: for example, prestigious schools like Beijing Normal University and East China Normal University will take you deep into analyzing Chinese primary and secondary school textbooks, and even involve you in real classroom internships. If you love Chinese, are passionate about education, or want to teach Chinese at international schools or Confucius Institutes in the future, this program is a great fit.

Major prospects

现在全球学中文的人越来越多，但真正懂“怎么教”的专业人才还是稀缺。在中国，语文教育正在从“死记硬背”转向“素养培养”，所以学校和教育机构特别需要懂新理念、会设计互动课程的老师。对国际学生来说，一个很值得关注的方向是“国际中文教育”——你可以把在中国学到的语文教学法，用到自己国家的中文课堂里。另外，在线教育平台（比如学而思、猿辅导）也在大量招聘懂语文教学的内容研发人员，这些岗位不一定要站在讲台上，但需要你懂课程设计。

Career prospects

毕业后最直接的出路是当语文老师：可以去中国的公立中小学（需要考教师资格证，但很多学校对国际学生开放）、国际学校（更看重双语能力和跨文化经验），或者回国在当地的华文学校任教。另外，教育科技公司（如作业帮、好未来）会招课程设计师、教研员，负责开发语文学习产品，月薪大概在1万-2万人民币（一线城市）。如果你喜欢研究，也可以去教育出版社做编辑，或者继续读博搞教育研究。总的来说，这个专业不愁找工作，关键是你想走教学、研发还是管理路线。
