Abstract

The recruitment and management of foreign teachers are crucial aspects of educational globalization, impacting language acquisition and cultural exchange within host countries. This paper provides a comparative analysis of global policies and practices in managing foreign teachers, focusing on recruitment, training, support, and retention. By examining different approaches adopted by countries such as China, Japan, the United States, and Germany, the paper identifies common challenges and highlights best practices that contribute to effective foreign teacher management. The findings offer insights for policymakers and educational institutions to enhance their strategies for managing foreign teaching staff.
