Abstract

In latest years, international Chinese language education has been mostly taught online, so it is urgent to improve teacher’s information literacy. In order to depict the current situation of teachers’ information literacy, this research constructed an assessment framework of four secondary variables of information awareness, information knowledge, information competence, and information ethics based on theories of educational ecology, stages of teachers' professional development, and educational information theory. This research did the digital questionnaire survey with 57 participants throughout the country and employed the software of SPSS 26.0 to analyze data with t-test, ANOVA and correlation analysis. The result shows the advantage of participants’ information ethics (Mean=4.40) and the drawback of their information knowledge (Mean=3.95). It then finds that participants’ information literacy maybe influenced by individual factors, such as overseas experience, their post-service training experiences, and by informatization level of their affiliates. Therefore, this research suggests that efforts shall be made to improve teachers’ information knowledge and information competence. Meanwhile, foreign working experiences as well as post-service training ought to be attached more importance and language schools may improve their informatization level. In conclusion, it is hoped that this research may contribute to improving international Chinese language teachers’ information literacy.
