Analysis of the Teaching Problems of The Analects of Confucius in the Teaching of Chinese as a Foreign Language

Abstract

The Analects of Confucius and its interpretations are important materials for Chinese teaching as a foreign language. The use of The Analects of Confucius in teaching Chinese as a foreign language can help to remove some obstacles in cross-cultural communication, and can better meet the diverse interests and needs of non-native language learners. However, few of those engaged in Chinese teaching and scientific research as a foreign language have devoted to the application of The Analects of Confucius to specific teaching activities. The current researchers are limited to a small number of front-line teachers and postgraduates who have only experienced some internships, and the topics focus on the interpretation of the text of The Analects of Confucius and the teaching of Confucius thought. In the future, we should take the teaching of famous sentences of The Analects of Confucius as the starting point, and use the means of interpreting the new with the old, the development of daily life and academic development to integrate the teaching of famous sentences of The Analects of Confucius into the whole process of Chinese foreign teaching; the teaching of cultural courses should jump out the text of The Analects of Confucius, sets multiple teaching objectives such as knowledge theory, personal cultivation, and practical ability, highlights the modern value of the Analects, pays attention to the comparison of Chinese and foreign cultures, and enhances the effectiveness of teaching.
