Analysis of the Acquisition and Teaching Strategy of Chinese Culture by Foreign Students

Abstract

In the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language, cultural teaching is an indispensable and important content. This paper uses the quantitative research method of questionnaires to investigate the acquisitions and feed-backs of Chinese culture learning of eighty-five foreign students at Wuchang University of Technology. It is found that the foreign students are generally interested in Chinese culture but their preferences are unbalanced, they cognition are not deep as well as not comprehensive, and they are confronting cultural shocks. Thus, strengthening their interest of learning, improving their level of Chinese, reducing the phenomenon of cultural shocks, and upgrading the teaching mode of the curriculum are effective strategies to solve the problems existing in the current situation.
