Abstract

As the global demand for Chinese language learning increases, international Chinese language education is facing a complex international situation and multiple challenges.

The study shows that resilience theory has significant value in enhancing teachers’ intercultural adaptability and teaching quality, strengthening learners’ confidence in language learning and cultural adaptability, and optimizing the flexibility and resilience of educational governance.
