Abstract:In the Information age, language and written communication have acquired strategic significance affecting the overall situation. The improvement of the linguistic competence and cognitive literacy of the populace and the enhancement of the quality of language teaching at the basic education stage are prerequisites for implementing language strategies. To change the lag in Chinese education in terms of goals, content, and methods, and to adapt to the requirements of the information age for Chinese education, it is necessary to launch constructive programs to enhance Chinese teaching as soon as possible. The current key point is to understand and implement the “Chinese Core Competencies” course objectives and the organizational principles of “Multiple Learning Tasks”, as outlined in the Chinese Language Curriculum for General High Schools(2017 Edition, Revised in 2020). Core Competencies in the Chinese language consist of language production and application, cognitive development and enhancement, aesthetic appreciation and creativity, and cultural inheritance and understanding. It is an integral concept that is comprehensively reflected in students’ intellectual outlook, mental state, knowledge structure, and language abilities, encompassing a strong humanistic orientation. Multiple-task learning is an instructional principle that empowers teachers to creatively organize teaching based on their specific circumstances, requires students’ independent learning as the premise, and allows students to complete learning tasks by themselves so that they acquire knowledge, enhance abilities, and cultivate their core competencies in practice. The development of the Chinese language curriculum must be supported by theoretical construction, and it is urgent to establish a language and written communication knowledge system, in line with the characteristics of the Chinese language and Chinese characters, that embodies distinctive Chinese features.
