Through the Huayu BEST Program partnership, NTU nominates and sends Chinese language educators to our partner institutions to provide support for Chinese language programs. There are two types of positions available; one is a full-time lecturer position and the other is a graduate assistant internship. The partner institutions decide their needs and capacity for hosting, then jointly select lecturer and/or graduate assistant with NTU.
Currently, we have four NTU Chinese language lecturers and three graduate assistants from NTU’s Graduate Program of Teaching Chinese as a Second Language (TCSL) being hosted at our partner institutions. Their work strengthens and complements the respective Chinese language programs. Conversely, the opportunity to be a part of Chinese language programs overseas broadens their understanding of various needs and challenges of global learners of Chinese.
