AI 摘要

Vice Premier of the State Council Sun Chunlan proposed the "Chinese+" project, aiming to offer characteristic courses to serve the national development strategy. The 2019 International Chinese Education Conference established a special forum on "Chinese+Vocational Skills" to explore the integration of Chinese education and employment and entrepreneurship. The concept of "Chinese+" has been widely accepted, emphasizing the new mission and responsibility of international Chinese education. This article believes that "Chinese+" belongs to the category of "specialized Chinese language teaching", providing a logical basis for subsequent discussions.

1、 Specialized Chinese Teaching System

Introduced a specialized Chinese language teaching system, including fields such as medicine, business, law enforcement, tourism, law, military, navigation, engineering, industry, hotels, civil aviation, energy, etc. The system is divided into three categories: professional Chinese language teaching, such as courses in economics and trade, science and engineering, humanities, medicine, etc., aimed at helping students learn their majors in Chinese; Business Chinese language teaching, aimed at professionals in the workplace such as diplomats, military, police, etc., as a second language application; Chinese+"includes industry Chinese and" Chinese+vocational skills "teaching, emphasizing employment orientation and closely related to career development and people's well-being. These classifications reflect the diversity and practicality of learners' Chinese language needs, as well as the improvement of the internationalization level of Chinese language.

2、 Main types of specialized Chinese language teaching

The four main types of specialized Chinese language teaching were discussed in detail: Business Chinese, Science and Technology Chinese, Medical Chinese, and "Chinese+Vocational Skills". Business Chinese originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and is the largest branch in this field. It has developed rapidly in teaching practice, textbook writing, and teaching research. The teaching of Chinese in science and technology began in 1960, but the development momentum did not continue. Medical Chinese is divided into Western Chinese and Traditional Chinese Chinese. The former is aimed at international students majoring in clinical medicine, while the latter is aimed at learners of traditional Chinese medicine related majors. The concept of "Chinese+" emphasizes the added value of learning Chinese, such as the development of vocational skills and the improvement of employability, including two parts: industry Chinese and "Chinese+vocational skills". Industry Chinese, such as tourism Chinese, tour guide Chinese, etc., while "Chinese+vocational skills" education aims to promote employment and enhance vocational skills, with demand sources including technology output, local talent cultivation in Chinese enterprises, serving local livelihoods, and responding to emerging business formats in China.

3、 Fundamentals of Specialized Chinese Teaching Development: Needs Analysis

Requirement analysis is the cornerstone of specialized Chinese language teaching and is crucial for optimizing the allocation of teaching resources. In terms of traditional demand, with the promotion of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, the demand for professional Chinese ability is growing, especially in Africa and Asia. The training mode requires international students to have a high foundation in Chinese and majors, but current teaching practices are still scattered and lack universal rules. The Chinese language teaching in science, engineering, and medical colleges needs to follow the path of developing professional Chinese characteristics to meet the practical needs of students studying Chinese in their majors. In terms of emerging demands, the "Chinese+" concept aims to cultivate compound talents who understand Chinese and have skills, and meet the employment and vocational skill needs based on Chinese. When dealing with this demand, attention should be paid to the priority of vocational skills and Chinese proficiency, as well as the diverse entities serving Chinese enterprises' "going global". Returning overseas students after graduation is an important human resource for Chinese funded enterprises. Paying attention to their employment and promoting the recruitment of graduates from China by Chinese funded enterprises is an important way to increase employment and improve people's livelihood in the the Belt and Road Initiative.

4、 Key development focus of specialized Chinese language teaching: teacher training

Explored the importance of teacher knowledge and abilities in specialized Chinese language teaching, and proposed two teacher knowledge and ability structures: dualism and pluralism. Dualism emphasizes the combination of Chinese language knowledge and teaching skills with relevant professional knowledge and teaching skills, while pluralism includes Chinese language and cultural knowledge, professional basic knowledge, and educational knowledge. There are four different views in academia on the level that professional teachers should achieve, ranging from vague expressions to emphasizing systematic and holistic grasp, and even requiring proficiency in professional knowledge. Three approaches have been proposed for teacher training and development: the transformation of Chinese language teachers, the integration of Chinese language teachers and professional teachers, and the qualification of vocational skill professional teachers to obtain the International Chinese Language Teacher Qualification Certificate. These discussions have highlighted the importance, urgency, and complexity of building specialized Chinese language teaching staff, but currently they are mostly based on subjective experience and lack empirical research.

5、 Conclusion

Emphasis is placed on incorporating "Chinese+" into the research of specialized Chinese language teaching, analyzing the development process of different types of teaching, and pointing out that "use" is the core driving force for its development. Professional Chinese "mainly serves international students, while" Business Chinese "and" Chinese+"focus more on practicality and economic value. There is currently an issue of uneven development, especially a lack of attention to certain sub fields of "professional Chinese". Specialized Chinese language teaching is a key part of international Chinese education, and its development needs to be based on needs analysis, addressing teacher training issues, and promoting the development of teaching towards more refined and scientific directions.
