Working in ICN Schools
成为ICN学校一份子
Teaching in a Chinese CLIL program or a Chinese/English bilingual school is a very rewarding experience.
Compared to schools with only one or two sessions a week for Chinese, students in bilingual schools have the opportunity to immerse in Chinese and learn other curriculum areas through Chinese. Seeing students make visible and rapid progress in literacy, language proficiency, intercultural understanding and other curriculum areas is very motivating for any driven and passionate Chinese language educator.
If you are interested in working in an ICN school, it is important that you have some understanding of the common bilingual models around the world, the specific model used by the school, bilingual teaching methods and current trends in bilingual education, before you apply for a position.
在中文CLIL项目或中英双语学校任教是相当有意义的经历。
相比于每周只有一两节中文课的学校,双语学校的学生更有机会沉浸在中文环境中,并通过中文学习其他课程领域。见证学生在识字能力、语言水平、跨文化理解与其他课程领域取得明显且迅速的进展,对任何一位充满干劲和热情的中文教育工作者来说都是很有激励作用的。
如果您有兴趣在ICN学校工作,先了解世界各地常见的双语模式、学校采用的模式、双语教学方法以及双语教育的当前趋势,有助于您申请相关职位。
