To explore the current status and existing challenges of local Chinese language teacher training in Central Asian countries, this study conducts an in-depth analysis of 60 specialized training programs for them. Starting with an analysis of the compositional characteristics of the local teaching workforce, the study further proposes targeted strategies and recommendations. The study finds that the current training has formed a pattern of multi-party participation involving Chinese universities, Confucius Institutes, and related institutions. The content of training has evolved from “basic enlightenment” to “expanded deepening” and then to “targeted empowerment”, with preliminary results already observed. In response to problems such as insufficient localization of training content and low efficiency in transformation, as well as the lack of training evaluation and feedback mechanisms, this paper proposes measures including improving the design of training content, innovating training models, establishing evaluation and feedback mechanisms, and building a diversified collaborative training system.
