Profesores nativos y no nativos de español: situación y desarrollo de la colaboración docente en las universidades chinas

Abstract

Chinese universities that offer a degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language often use both native and non-native teachers. Collaboration between those two groups is rare despite the benefits it brings to both students and teachers. Through an online exploratory survey, this research identifies common features across Spanish departments related to curricular design, textbooks, class distribution and the challenges of teamwork. We also present a collaborative programme between native and non-native teachers at Renmin University of China, whose objective is to address some of the current needs of Spanish language teaching at Chinese universities.
