I have taken a TCSL class. The teacher said that teachers of TCSL do not require English proficiency. This is because there are literal translation methods, audio-visual methods, listening and speaking methods, etc. in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Not every method requires it. The teacher teaches in the students’ native language, and since it is Chinese as a foreign language, there will be students in the class who speak other Asian and European languages. Therefore, if the lecture is only in English, students from non-English speaking countries will also have objections, so English is not good for them. Learning Chinese as a foreign language has no impact. Secondly, you can think about the fact that many foreign teachers in China cannot speak Chinese and teach in English~

The examination subjects are slightly different according to the settings of different schools. The first is the two unified examination subjects - politics and English. Professional courses are generally For: Introduction to Modern Chinese, Ancient Chinese and Linguistics.
