What's the difference between Confucius Institute volunteers and ordinary volunteers?

First, the registration situation is different

Recruit ordinary volunteers in universities, primary and secondary schools and educational institutions. "Confucius Institute volunteers" are generally, generally, from Chinese units of Confucius Institutes, including universities, education departments, primary and secondary schools, etc.

Candidates from non-cooperative colleges have certain risks in signing up for Confucius Institute volunteers. Some Confucius Institutes will indicate that only teachers and students from cooperative colleges are admitted. If you don't specify it, there are certain risks, and you may not be admitted or you may be admitted. Teachers and students of cooperative colleges will also be given priority in the interview. This situation is more complicated, and I will explain it in detail later.

Second, the recruitment methods are different.

Every year 165438+ 10, 65438+February, March and April, ordinary volunteers are recruited for interviews, and sometimes by-elections are held for interviews. "Confucius Institute volunteers" mainly focus on recruitment interviews in March, and less in other months.

Many Confucius Institute volunteers demand "two sides", that is, "foreign interviews". Of course, ordinary volunteers from Dali University also need it. General "ordinary volunteers" don't need "foreign interviews".

Third, the working environment is different.

The number of ordinary volunteers can be one volunteer teacher or more. It is more conducive to language learning and more challenging for volunteers to negotiate Chinese teaching with schools. Many schools have no Chinese teaching experience and are basically blank, so there are more opportunities for exercise.

Confucius Institute volunteers teach Confucius Institutes or Confucius Classrooms. Generally, there are more volunteer teachers and they are relatively lonely. Confucius Institute has a well-formed teaching model and activity plan, which is mainly involved in implementation, with less planning activities and more teaching resources. Therefore, I feel the warmth of more organized care.

Extended data:

One of the most important tasks of Confucius Institute is to provide standardized and authoritative modern Chinese textbooks for Chinese learners all over the world. Provide the most formal and main Chinese teaching channels. In 2004, the world's first Confucius Institute was formally established in Seoul, South Korea.

20 12 in may, the United States reviewed the qualifications of Confucius institutes and asked some teachers to leave the country, which triggered heated public opinion. 20/kloc-in September, 2004, the University of Chicago and Pennsylvania State University announced that they would stop their cooperation with the Confucius Institute in China. In February 65438, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded whether the Confucius Institute restricted academic freedom in American universities. On June 30th, 2065438+05, the Confucius Institute at Stockholm University in Sweden closed.

In order to develop friendly relations between China and other countries, enhance people's understanding of China's language and culture, and provide convenient and excellent learning conditions for Chinese learners all over the world, the Office of China's National Leading Group for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language will build "Confucius Institutes" with Chinese teaching as its main activity in several countries with needs and conditions in the world, and its headquarters will be located in Beijing, China.
