Curriculum Design for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language: Refl ection and Replanning
This paper seeks to refl ect on the problems of curriculum planning in teaching Chinese as a second language, thereby reforming the current curriculum design. The discipline of teaching Chinese as a second language has at least two major defi ciencies in its curriculum planning. One is that course designers have no clear understanding of the characteristics of Chinese language and Chinese characters in the framework of second language learning. The other is that the courses stand aloof from the authentic Chinese language communication in China. In order to revamp the existing curriculum design and system, more relevant courses should be opened based on the characteristics of Chinese language and Chinese characters as well as the availability of language resources. Specifically, the class hours for compulsory and elective courses should be reduced properly, and courses such as Chinese characters, Chinese functioning words, written hinese, Pinyin-mediated spoken Chinese, local Mandarin and dialects need to be added. The new curriculum planning and design would be of signifi cance in several aspects. Firstly, it highlights both the “characters” and the “language” in Chinese,and enhances the status of Chinese characters in teaching. Secondly, it expands and strengthens the functions of Pinyin in Chinese teaching. Thirdly, it pays more attention to the teaching of Chinese written language. Finally, the planning demonstrates the advantages of learning Chinese in China compared to learning it in other countries. In this way, the scope of language learning and acquisition could be broadened, and the efficiency of Chinese learning could be improved.
