Students may need to complete an interview before being accepted into a teacher education program. Because elementary school teachers typically teach all subjects to children, they may be required to take pre-major courses in a range of topics such as children's literature, language arts and elementary mathematics.

Pinyin input method. Screenshot of SCIM's Smart Pinyin. The pinyin method (simplified Chinese: æ¼é³è¾å¥æ³; traditional Chinese: æ¼é³è¼¸å¥æ³; pinyin: pÄ«nyÄ«n shÅ«rÃ¹ fÇ) refers to a family of input methods based on the pinyin method of romanization.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) adopted pinyin as an international standard in 1982. The system was adopted as the official standard in Taiwan in 2009, where it is used for romanization alone rather than for educational and computer input purposes.
