Abstract—The proficiency of Chinese language teachers is a crucial factor in determining the effectiveness and quality of Chinese language teaching. Over the years, the Confucius Institute in the UK has experienced significant growth, leading to the gradual expansion of the Chinese language teaching industry. Consequently, there has been a surge in interest in local Chinese language teacher training. This article focuses on the Confucius Institute at the University College London Institute of Education and examines its Chinese language teacher training mode from diverse perspectives. It also provides specific recommendations based on a thorough analysis, aimed at offering guidance and inspiration for the training of Chinese language teachers not only in the UK but worldwide.
