第一章
外语自我介绍

CTCSOL面试一共分为5个环节：外语自我介绍、说课、试讲、中文问答、英文问答。外语自我介绍是首要的任务，因此也可以说在考查外语能力环节，是较为重要的一环。A good beginning is half the battle，好的开头是成功的一半：外语自我介绍环节表现得稳定，落落大方，不落窠臼，对整体的外语分数考评，是至关重要的。因此，历届培训的时候，我们都是将外语自我介绍放在最开始讲解的。根据考试大纲的要求，外语自我介绍的时间是2分钟。根据以往经验，自我介绍的内容一般以220~240词为宜。国家汉办编纂的《国际汉语教师证书面试指南》（以下简称“面试指南”）上面，给了一些中肯的自我介绍技巧：向考官致谢、说清姓名、适当的身体语言、共情、简洁化、口语化、与考官的眼神交流等等。官方给出的自我介绍技巧，尚有些学究气，缺乏重点，也没有给出相应的自我介绍模板。所以，根据以往考试的经验，将外语自我介绍的4点最重要的事项列示如下。

1.一定要有致敬词。

“人而无礼，胡不遄死？”在CTCSOL面试的各个环节，我们发言前都要致敬。在面试过程中，礼貌、谦恭，是我们应该向考官老师展现的风貌，这是包含在整体印象分中的。所以，致谢词是头等重要的。

2.简要介绍自己。

姓名、年龄、毕业院校（以最高学历为准）、专业，目前的工作及过往阅历，以上信息简明扼要即可。记住一点，千万别写小作文。因为过往的考试中，有的考生分不清主次，自己的一个名字都要介绍一下由来；或者将自己选择的专业、行业的原因也要说道说道。这样的做法就会使整个自我介绍变得臃肿，毫无重点。毕竟外语自我介绍是有时间要求的（2分钟以内），我们能表述的内容不会太多。中心思想就是好好地夸夸自己，所以个人信息方面一定要简洁地介绍。需要突出介绍的是工作、阅历以及个人魅力（比如善于与人交往，有着丰富的教学经验等）。

3.考CTCSOL证书的理由。

这一点是我们参加CTCSOL面试的最终目的。我们来参加考试，就是为了拿证，所以考证的原因，一定要在自我介绍中清晰地表达出来。这里需要提醒的是，大部分考生考证书是为了兼职，增加一份额外的收入。这个原因可以说，但是尽量委婉一些说。尽量把我们考证的原因升华一下：架起中外语言、文化的桥梁，增强自身的跨文化认知，增加对中国文化的认知等等。总之，升华一些的表述，会让考官老师对你刮目相看。

4.个人最大的优势。

外语自我介绍的中心思想，就是好好地夸自己。这一点在刚刚说的第2点中，已经表述过。第2点中，我们侧重说明自己的过往经验以及学识、阅历等。第4点一般是突出说一下自己的个人最大优势（善于与人交往、教学经验丰富、丰富的对外交往阅历等等），然后介绍一下自己的性格、爱好、才艺，最后简单说一下今后的职业规划（一般往往是结合上述性格、爱好、才艺等，说明今后自己能够成为一名出色的对外汉教老师）。

此外，以上四点表述完毕后，别忘了结语和致谢，提示考官老师自我介绍完毕，可以进行下一项考试任务了。综合以上的四点建议，我将本人的自我介绍原稿呈现如下，希望给各位考生提供借鉴：

Good morning, dear professors. I' m great honored to meet you here and I hope I can make a good performance today, eventually become a member of international Chinese teachers. Now let me introduce myself please.

My name is *** and I' m ** years old. I was born and raised in ***, now I live in ***. I graduated from ****** University, major in ***. I' m currently a full-time docent and I work for National Geographic. My main job is to explain to Chinese tourists the stories behind National Geographic' s classic photography and the creation process of the masters. But during the past 2 years, I' ve spent most of my spare time in teaching Chinese to some foreign students online. Such wonderful experience has broadened my horizon and knowledge, and I really like these two jobs.

China boasts a long history of more than 5,000 years, I am willing to spread our culture to the world. Since language is a carrier of culture, I would like to be a Chinese teacher.Therefore, I urgently hope to obtain this certificate, so that I can better teach foreign students in the future and improve my own cognition and understanding of Chinese culture.

My greatest advantage is telling stories and sharing them with others. Also I am open minded, outgoing, caring and trustworthy. I really like travelling, reading and cooking. I' m a museum nut and I suppose I can make good use of it as an international Chinese teacher.

Thanks for your listening. I think I' m ready for the next stage.

My name is *** and I' m ** years old. I was born and raised in ***, *** Province. I graduated from *** University, now I am a a first-year graduate student at *** University,majoring in ***.

This semester, I' ve been working as a Chinese Teaching Assistant in the Han College of our school, helping the teacher to run the Chinese class.

Since language is a carrier of culture, I would like to be a Chinese teacher.
