Re:请问:有在澳洲教中文的朋友吗
I suspect most schools here would welcome a " Mandarin proficiency certificate" rather than a " Chinese teaching certificate" granted by a Chinese institution. The reason for this is that the methodology you learnt in China may not well <br>
fit the local curriculum (in most cases it doesn't), yet your Mandarin <br>
proficiency is always recognisable and teachable. In a nutshell, a teacher <br>
certificate (preferably from Aus) is a must, and a "Mandarin certificate" is <br>
a very desirable advantage, if you're seeking a school-based position. <br>
<br>
In terms of job hunting, there are definitely more qualified teachers than<br>
openings, and Chinese is by no means a supported LOTE in schools. Generally <br>
Chinese ranks fifth in the nationally accredited six major LOTEs, right after<br>
French, German, Japanese, and Indonesian, but might have an edge on Italian,<br>
Modern Greek and other minor languages in terms of student enrolments. <br>
The tonal pronounciation and non-alphabetic writing script are the main <br>
challenges which hinder local students' interest in Chinese. Compared with <br>
Japan Foundation, the organisational funding to Chinese is minute too. The <br>
encouraging factor is that the increasing number of Chinese migrants may <br>
signalise the education arthority, and what if the Mandarin-speaking Rudd won <br>
the next federal election... |
