The Application of Experiential Culture Teaching in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language

Abstract

The accelerated process of globalization has increasingly underscored the significance of Chinese as a world language, with the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language assuming a crucial role in cross-cultural communication. Traditional cultural teaching methods, which often rely on unidirectional knowledge transmission, frequently fail to engage learners fully, resulting in superficial cultural understanding. Experiential cultural teaching, centered around the learners, utilizes immersive activities and interactive experiences to effectively address this shortcoming, allowing learners to perceive and comprehend the rich connotations of Chinese culture in authentic contexts. This paper will analyze the application of experiential teaching in Chinese cultural education for foreigners, exploring its unique advantages in enhancing learners’ cultural identity and practical language proficiency, and propose specific implementation strategies and considerations, aiming to provide new perspectives and methodological foundations for teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
