Department of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language

The Department of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL) was founded in 2005, an innovative move to integrate TCFL into the English Program. The mission is to cultivate qualified teachers of Chinese language and culture who are exceptional in both foreign cultures and language application.

Apart from the English and TCFL courses, students also have the opportunity to teach Chinese in countries including the U.S., France, Mexico, the Philippines, Spain and Jordan.

The Department is also responsible for providing courses on Chinese language and culture for international students from our partnership universities. So far, a comprehensive system for in-class Chinese teaching and after-class tutorials has been put in place.

The Department places great emphasis on developing students’ practical skills, with students getting involved in teaching Chinese from the very beginning of school. Through one-on-one tutorials, our students and international students become learning partners to help each other and gain experience in cross-culture communication.
