1 Introduction

Since the popularity of the Internet in China in the 1990s, online teaching has attracted attention in the field of language teaching, especially in international Chinese education. Online teaching is divided into two forms: "online in the classroom" and "online classroom". The former assists offline teaching, while the latter is entirely online. At the beginning of the 21st century, the development and application of online teaching resources promoted the development of international Chinese education. However, due to limitations in network communication speed, the interactivity of distance education is insufficient. In recent years, the popularization of 4G technology has solved the problem of communication speed, and the popularity of online education during the epidemic has also changed learners' attitudes, enhanced their willingness to learn online and their ability to learn independently. Teachers have also adapted to online teaching, effectively alleviating learners' anxiety. Researchers suggest that in the post pandemic era, the advantages of online education should continue to be leveraged as an optional method for regular teaching. Domestic scholars also believe that online education is an important means for the development of international Chinese education. In the post pandemic era, improving the quality and efficiency of online teaching is the key to promoting the transformation and upgrading of international Chinese education.

Online Education Practice in the Post Pandemic Era

After examining the online education practices of the British Council and Goethe Institute in the post pandemic era, it was found that these two institutions continued to actively engage in online education after the end of the pandemic, forming a new pattern of coexistence and complementary development of online and offline teaching. These two institutions did not simply transfer offline classroom photos to the internet, but continuously improved and perfected various online teaching models, fully leveraging the unique advantages of online education. At present, the two institutions adopt four basic types of online teaching modes: self-directed learning mode, one-on-one teaching mode, classroom teaching mode, and open teaching mode.

The profound impact of online education

The development of online education in the post pandemic era has driven a shift in teaching philosophy, breaking traditional online teaching concepts and improving the acceptance of online education. Language and culture promotion organizations consider online education as an important way to expand language dissemination, such as the Goethe Institute's long-term "business model" for online education. Online education has promoted innovation in educational mechanisms, with language and cultural promotion agencies directly participating in online teaching activities, forming a "dual track" educational mechanism. Online education has accelerated the flow and sharing of teaching resources, broken down national and regional restrictions, and promoted the balanced distribution of teaching resources worldwide. Online education has promoted the popularization of ubiquitous and lifelong learning methods, created a favorable ecological environment, and enabled learners to learn anytime and anywhere, promoting the development of lifelong learning methods.

Several Thoughts on Promoting the Development of International Chinese Online Education

We discussed the shortcomings of China's international Chinese online education compared to foreign language and culture promotion institutions, and put forward thoughts on the development of online education in the post pandemic era. The main problems include: the lack of integration and optimization of online Chinese self-learning mode, the absence of online one-on-one teaching mode, the shrinking development space of online classroom teaching mode, and the lack of overall planning for online open teaching mode. The article believes that the development of international Chinese online education should be promoted from the aspects of improving institutional system construction, accelerating teaching reform and innovation, deepening market operation mechanisms, formulating supporting incentive measures, and strengthening theoretical system research. Specific suggestions include: establishing a specialized agency by the Language Cooperation Center to coordinate and plan the international Chinese online education industry; Optimize course offerings and offer distinctive online courses; Promote the market-oriented transformation of international Chinese online education; Establish an online course credit incentive mechanism; Strengthen the research on the theoretical system of international Chinese online education.

5 Conclusion

The importance of online education in the post pandemic era is increasingly prominent, and the development of international Chinese online education needs to be accelerated. The construction of "online classrooms" is of great significance for the transformation and upgrading of international Chinese education, the implementation of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and the promotion of language and people to people communication between China and foreign countries. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation among government departments, domestic universities, overseas Confucius Institutes, and other parties to jointly promote the development of international Chinese online education.
