Abstract

The research specifically aims to outline and amplify strategies that can improve the digital competencies of international Chinese teachers. By examining various educational frameworks and technological implementations, the study sheds light on the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital landscape in education. The findings of this research offer actionable recommendations for educators, administrators, and policymakers, aimed at fostering a more digitally competent teaching workforce. These recommendations are intended to not only enhance the teaching and learning experience but also to guide future research and inform policy-making within the field of International Chinese Education. This contributes to a broader understanding of the pivotal transformations necessary to adapt to and prosper in the digitally driven global educational environment.
