This training course will be run as a series of short intensive seminars for 6 hours a week over the course of two semesters. It is intended to prepare persons to teach Mandarin in the local Caribbean school system, and so will focus on improving language proficiency, the cultural knowledge of China, as well as providing training in the teaching of the language. It is therefore expected that persons wishing to enrol in the course have an HSK level of 4 or above, or the equivalent based on experience or as assessed through another Chinese language proficiency course. This course will serve as the prerequisite for a future one-year Special Teaching Certificate or Diploma in Mandarin offered out of the School of Education at the Cave Hill Campus.

This course is designed for persons who are new to teaching, those who want to be considered for higher education recruitment, or for anyone who wants to develop or refresh skills for teaching in any setting which requires an understanding of the learner and the instructional process. It provides an opportunity to learn from highly-trained education professionals with several successful years of applying educational pedagogy and theory. The course also provides a chance to network with and be motivated by colleagues who share similar interests. The sessions will be delivered virtually and are interactive with authentic experiences. An oral presentation and a teaching portfolio will comprise the assessment for this course.
