Challenges And Opportunities For International Chinese Language Education In The Post-human Context

With the accelerated integration of information technology into people’s productive lives,the post-human perspective has become an effective way for us to observe and study educational issues.As the main technological manifestation of the post-human context,artificial intelligence and virtual reality technologies have become innovative forces in the field of international Chinese language education,posing challenges to the traditional model of international Chinese language teaching and learning,and bringing about changes such as the enhancement of the intelligence level of teaching materials and classrooms,the innovation of teacher-student interaction mode and the increase of students’ adaptive learning,which are also opportunities for the development of international Chinese language education.When artificial intelligence and virtual reality are used in international Chinese language education,there may be problems such as computational bias,technological addiction and algorithmic discrimination.While actively seeking countermeasures to ensure the rational application of technology,we should also seek collaborative humancomputer teaching strategies and firmly "student-centred",following the essence of education for the development of the whole student.In order to ensure that the fastdeveloping information technology can further integrate with international Chinese language education in a post-human context and promote its positive progress,this study summarises the development of online Chinese teaching websites,Chinese teaching APPs,virtual Chinese live classes,virtual Chinese teaching materials and Chinese virtual simulation laboratories,illustrating that when artificial intelligence technology is applied to international Chinese language teaching as a post-human topic,the triadic coordination and interaction between teachers,machines and students will replace traditional Chinese teaching.When AI technology is applied to international Chinese teaching and learning,the traditional dichotomous interaction will be replaced by a coordinated triad of teacher,machine and student,and the efficiency of international Chinese teaching and learning will become more efficient.Another major change in international Chinese language education in a posthuman context is that virtual reality technology can break the barriers of time and space and build a learning space that combines reality and reality for teachers and students.Take "Second Life-China Island" as an example,virtual reality technology can provide students with an immersive and interactive experience through the construction of virtual simulation environments and the setting of virtual characters,but "China Island However,"China Island" was developed earlier and is a desktop VR,so the immersive experience still needs to be improved.From the current teaching design and actual teaching situation of the International Chinese Online Junior Comprehensive Course,we analyse the performance of the International Chinese Online Teaching in a posthuman "weak environment" and find that the current online teaching has problems such as students’ lack of concentration,difficulties in maintaining classroom order and teaching effects not meeting expectations.It is expected that a strong technologyintegrated online elementary class for children in a post-human context will largely improve these problems,and will focus more on the development of students’ independent inquiry skills,and that the identity of the international Chinese teacher will change from that of a pedagogue to that of a gatekeeper of the content.The current level of information and intelligence in international Chinese language education needs to be further improved.The creation of a standardised and shared "international Chinese language education meta-universe" community and the increase in the use of international Chinese language teaching games are initiatives that will help to promote the intelligence of international Chinese language education.We should not only consider technology as an aid to traditional learning spaces,learning media or learning resources,but also consider the relevant intelligent technology in the posthuman context as a partner,and explore a new path of synergistic development between human and machine,thus promoting the innovative development of international Chinese language education.
