Abstract：Traditionally, international education is conducted in Chinese characters only, and Hanyu Pinyin is only used as an aiding tool for phonetic annotation. In other words, Pinyin has the function of auxiliary script. Along with the wider spread of Chinese language and diversification of its learners, there is a need to accelerate the promotion of Chinese education. The introduction of full Pinyin teaching is a new means to accelerate the international promotion of Chinese, and it is also an experiment of auxiliary script. Foreign learners of Chinese language come from different countries with different learning motivations, and in this sense, there is a need for full Pinyin teaching. From a theoretical point of view, as long as some conditions are met, the concept of full Pinyin teaching of conditional Chinese can be materialized with support of intelligent conversion system between Pinyin and Chinese character. These conditions include (but not limited to) preliminary pronunciation standardization and language-script adaption. Full Pinyin teaching should be implemented step by step, and at least it can be applied during the primary stage of learning. At the same time, “Pinyin+Literacy” and Chinese character teaching still can remain as conventional approach to meet the need of other groups of the students. These are some key factors to the success of full Pinyin teaching. Auxiliary Pinyin teaching as an alternative means requires some special design, including representation of tones, character writing stabilization, inter-space writing between words, etc., all of these requirements are nonconventional that is beyond a normal orthography and all are very key to the success for full Pinyin teaching. With the introduction of full Pinyin teaching, we hope that it offers another form to virtually represent Chinese character for Chinese language reaching out to the world and it will provide an alternative in Chinese language internationalization. The teaching of full Pinyin will create another form of Chinese expression and help the Chinese language spread all over the world.
