Centering a Multi-Layered Mandarin Education Ecosystem: Teaching Practices and International Development at the Chinese Language Center, National Chung Hsing University

國立中興大學華語中心於2006年由語言中心「華語組」起步，並於2021年正式升格為文學院附屬教學推廣單位。中心成立的宗旨在於回應全球華語學習需求的迅速提升，並配合臺灣高等教育國際化與雙語政策，建立具制度化與專業化的華語教育體系。升格以來，中心積極整合校內外資源，優化課程架構，拓展招生成效，並透過文化體驗、遊學團、師資培育與海外合作，逐步形成兼具語言教育、文化推廣、國際交流與師資培育的多層次華語教育生態。在課程發展方面，本中心以分級華語課程、文化主題課程與口語訓練為核心，搭配華語文能力快篩、選修班與職場華語，建立完整且具彈性的教學模式；在師資培育方面，與本校語言相關系所協力推動「華語教學學分學程」與師資培訓課程，強化未來教師的跨文化素養與教學實務力。在國際合作層面，本中心透過「臺灣優華語計畫」與美國多所大學建立長期夥伴關係，推動海外派師、短期研習團、華語課程輸出與華語文能力測驗推廣，擴大臺灣華語教育的國際可見度，並自2024年起，積極參與教育部「外國學生華語文能力精進計畫」，以學伴制度、文化活動與跨文化任務強化國際學生之語言實踐與在地支持。綜合而言，中興華語中心正逐步形成一套兼具專業化、國際化與數位化的華語教育模式。本文將以混合敘事與論述方式，梳理中心在課程發展、學程建置、國際合作與學習支持等面向的實踐成果，並展望未來持續深化教學品質、強化國際鏈結與拓展華語教育影響力的策略方向。

The Chinese Language Center at National Chung Hsing University originated as the ''Division of Chinese'' under the university's Language Center in 2006 and was officially upgraded in 2021 to an instructional and outreach unit under the College of Liberal Arts. Its establishment responds to the rapid global rise in Mandarin learning and aligns with Taiwan's policies on higher-education internationalization and bilingual development, aiming to build a professional and institutionalized Mandarin education system. Since the upgrade, the Center has actively integrated campus and external resources, enhanced curricular structures, expanded recruitment outcomes, and-through cultural experiences, study tours, teacher training, and international collaboration-gradually developed a multi-layered ecosystem encompassing language education, cultural engagement, international exchange, and teacher preparation. In curriculum development, the Center centers its instruction on multi-level Mandarin courses, culture-based thematic courses, and oral-skills training, supplemented by proficiency screening tools, elective classes, and workplace Mandarin to form a comprehensive and flexible learning model. In teacher preparation, the Center collaborates with language-related departments to promote the ''Mandarin Teaching Credit Program'' and training courses, strengthening future teachers' intercultural competence and practical instructional skills. Internationally, through participation in the Ministry of Education's ''Taiwan Huayu BEST Program,'' the Center has established long-term partnerships with multiple U.S. universities, advancing overseas teacher deployment, short-term training programs, Mandarin course export, and proficiency-test outreach-expanding Taiwan's global visibility in Mandarin education. Since 2024, the Center has also taken part in the ''Chinese Proficiency Enhancement Program for International Students,'' supporting language practice and local integration through buddy programs, cultural activities, and intercultural tasks. Overall, the Chinese Language Center is progressively shaping a professionalized, internationalized, and digitally enhanced model of Mandarin education. This article adopts a mixed narrative-analytical approach to examine the Center's achievements in curriculum development, academic program construction, international cooperation, and learning-support systems, while also outlining strategic directions for strengthening instructional quality, deepening global engagement, and expanding the impact of Taiwan's Mandarin education.
