This study evaluates the decade-long evolution of Chinese language teaching and learning in Cameroon\u2019s secondary education system, from 2012 to 2025. Despite rapid growth, several challenges have emerged, including inadequate teacher training programmes, uneven distribution of teachers, and irrational teaching objectives. The research, based on document analyses, interviews, observations, and self-experience, identifies key problems and proposes solutions. The findings reveal a rapid increase in schools, teachers, and students, but also highlight issues such as an inappropriate Chinese language syllabus, insufficient teaching periods, and inadequate lecturers at the Higher Teacher Training College (HTTC). The study recommends optimising human resources, introducing Chinese language to technical education, and rationalising teaching time and objectives. It also proposes improving the teacher training curriculum at HTTC and strengthening in-service training programmes for teachers.<\/p>

Cette \u00e9tude \u00e9value l\u2019\u00e9volution de l\u2019enseignement et de l\u2019apprentissage du chinois dans l\u2019enseignement secondaire au Cameroun sur la p\u00e9riode\u00a02012\u20132025. Malgr\u00e9 une croissance rapide, plusieurs d\u00e9fis ont \u00e9merg\u00e9, notamment l\u2019insuffisance des programmes de formation des enseignants, la r\u00e9partition in\u00e9gale du personnel enseignant et l\u2019irrationalit\u00e9 de certains objectifs p\u00e9dagogiques. La recherche, fond\u00e9e sur l\u2019analyse de documents, des entretiens, des observations et l\u2019exp\u00e9rience professionnelle de l\u2019auteur, identifie les principaux probl\u00e8mes et propose des pistes de solutions. Les r\u00e9sultats r\u00e9v\u00e8lent une augmentation significative du nombre d\u2019\u00e9tablissements, d\u2019enseignants et d\u2019apprenants, tout en mettant en \u00e9vidence des difficult\u00e9s li\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019inad\u00e9quation du curriculum de chinois, \u00e0 l\u2019insuffisance des volumes horaires et au manque d\u2019enseignants-formateurs \u00e0 l\u2019\u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure (ENS). L\u2019\u00e9tude recommande l\u2019optimisation des ressources humaines, l\u2019introduction du chinois dans l\u2019enseignement technique, ainsi que la rationalisation du temps d\u2019enseignement et des objectifs p\u00e9dagogiques. Elle pr\u00e9conise \u00e9galement l\u2019am\u00e9lioration du curriculum de formation des enseignants \u00e0 l\u2019ENS et le renforcement des programmes de formation continue.<\/em>
