Abstract
In the era of globalization, teaching Chinese as a foreign language (TCFL) serves as a crucial conduit for disseminating Chinese culture. Digital teaching is pivotal in this domain as educational technology continues to evolve. However, Chinese language educators still face shortcomings in their digital teaching proficiency. This study, employing text analysis, delves into strategies for enhancing the digital teaching skills of Chinese as a foreign language teacher, aiming to furnish valuable insights for the advancement of Chinese language education. The paper begins by delineating prevalent issues in the digital teaching competence of Chinese language educators: inadequate comprehension of digital teaching concepts, limited resource development and integration capabilities, deficient operational skills, and a lack of familiarity with digital teaching evaluation methods. The study proposes strategic interventions to address these challenges, including enhancing training, promoting educators' grasp of digital teaching concepts, and promoting educators' capacity to develop and integrate digital teaching resources. Fortify training in digital teaching skills, establish and refine the digital teaching evaluation framework, cultivate a conducive digital teaching environment, and foster international exchanges and collaboration. By implementing these strategies, the digital teaching prowess of Chinese as foreign language educators can be augmented, thereby elevating the overall standard of Chinese language education. Embracing modern educational technology, educators in this field can contribute significantly to the global propagation of Chinese culture.
