1. International Curriculum for Chinese Language Education (ICCLE)

2. Chinese Language Proficiency Scales for Speakers of Other Languages (CLPS)

3. Standards for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages (STC)

They were written by Hanban, the Office of Chinese Language Council International, to organise and describe objectives and content for a standardised Chinese language curriculum around the world.

My View

Although these books describe the knowledge, competency and skills a Chinese Teacher should have, they do not describe how Chinese Teachers can acquire these skills. What is missing is a form of professional training that would allow Chinese Teachers to understand what is written in these books and apply this knowledge inside the classroom.

A lecturer at the University of South Australia provides some insightful critical analysis of the ICCLE textbook here:
