I. Cooperation with Other Universities
The Joint Learning Centre of the OUC and OUT
The Joint Learning Centre (JLC), which was constructed with the mutual efforts of the Open University of China (OUC) and the Open University of Tanzania (OUT), was established in July 2018.
Guided by the general development goals of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (AFROC), and relying on the advantages of the OUC's teaching resources and platform, the OUC’s Huaqiao College plays a leading role among open universities in constructing a lifelong educational system and a learning-oriented society.
The OUC’s International Chinese Language Education (undergraduate) major aims to develop and cultivate teachers of Chinese to foreign speakers.
From 2012 to date, the OUC has held 21 sessions of international Chinese teacher training and designed localised and modular courses according to the practical needs of the Chinese teaching process in China and abroad. Teachers from 56 OUC branches (local radio and TV universities) and over 30 Chinese universities have participated in the training sessions.
Rich Course Resources
Multilingual Chinese language teaching course programmes broadcast via more than 10 TV platforms both in China and abroad.
