Guangxi University of Foreign Languages, Nanning, China
China’s development needs talents with global competence, and teachers are fundamention in nurturing talents. However, the global competence of private university teachers is limited in Guangxi due to insufficient funding. In recent years, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages has actively explored international education cooperation with universities in Southeast Asia, providing study-abroad chances for the teachers. This study developed a global competence scale for private university teachers in Guangxi, China, consisting of four dimensions and nine competence factors, and assessed 47 teachers who studied at Payap University in Thailand. The results revealed that the teachers performed moderately in knowledge dimension, and performed well in the factors of intercultural communication and adaptation, while performed poorly in the international academic skill and action, and excelled in attitudes and values. Based on these findings, the study proposed suggestions for optimizing the international education program and other cultivation strategies.
