Abstract: Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in December 2019, all careers were greatly affected, and the education field was also severely affected. International Chinese education was also facing many difficulties and challenges. As the global epidemic situation becomes better, in the post-epidemic era, how to develop Chinese language teaching for international students is a question worth discussing. The purpose of this research was to (1) examine the current situation of Chinese language teaching to international students in Laos in the post-epidemic era; (2) examine the existing problems in teaching Chinese to international students in Laos in the post-epidemic era; (3) put forward suggestions for the sustainable development of Chinese language teaching for Laos students in the post-epidemic era. The research instruments were a questionnaire and an interview form. The survey group was 30 Laos students and the interview group was 5 Chinese teachers from Pu'er University and 5 Laos students majoring in Chinese International Education in Pu'er University in 2021. Statistical analysis of data was performed using mean ( 𝑋 ̅)and standard deviation (S.D.). Through investigation and analysis, the following conclusions were drawn as follows: (1) The questionnaire survey found that the proportion of female international students among Laos students at Pu'er University was significantly higher than that of male students. the main reason for half of Lao international students or 50 percent in studying Chinese was to find a job. Most of the students or 76 percent revealed that they thought that their Chinese proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation was in the average or not good level and 50 percent of students thought learning Chinese was in the somewhat difficult and very difficult level. Finally, Laos students’ satisfaction with the overall level of Chinese teaching at Pu’er College was only 52.67%. (2) The information from the in-depth interviews showed that the factors affecting the teaching status of Lao international students at Pu'er University were divided into internal factors and external factors. Internal factors consisted of teaching content, teaching resources, teaching platform, publishing tasks, guiding learning, online Q&A, monitoring learning progress, classroom discussions, summary review, interactive feedback, etc. External factors included emergencies, religious culture, traditional festivals, and special circumstances. The mean and standard deviation of satisfaction with internal factors and external factors of teaching were ( 𝑋 ̅ 2.66; S.D 0.90) and ( 𝑋 ̅ 1.98; S.D 0.72) respectively, which showed that Lao international students thought that the current situation of teaching Chinese language at Pu'er University was “very problematic”; (3) The results from the analysis of teaching status and problems were found that to put forward sustainable teaching suggestions, such as optimizing teaching plans, enriching teaching methods, upgrading teaching content, strengthening the construction of teacher teams, taking students as the center, improving teaching platforms and building online and offline hybrid teaching mode were recommended to promote the improvement of the quality of Chinese language teaching at Pu'er College in the post-epidemic era. At the same time, this will provide a valuable reference for Chinese language teaching to international students who might face troubles from internal and external factors, and international students who may encounter global emergencies in the future by teaching meaningful lessons.
