The Dilemmas and Solutions of Teaching Chinese Culture as a Foreign Language from the Perspective of Constructivism TheoryA Systematic Review Based on Literature of the Past Decade

Over the past decade, the field of teaching Chinese as a second language has continued to develop, showing a trend towards younger learners and increasing professionalization. Chinese teaching in different countries no longer only focuses on traditional language mode, but integrates cultural element into language teaching, thus cultivating the communicative competence and international perspective of international Chinese language talents. However, existing studies mostly focus on macroscopic discussions from intercultural perspectives, and systematic analysis of micro-level issues such as the content system and teaching methods of cultural teaching remains insufficient. Therefore, this paper takes Constructivism as a framework and conducts research around three core issues: first, the research progress and mainstream practical paradigms of cultural teaching in the past decade; second, the core difficulties of current cultural teaching at the levels of research perspectives, content systems, and teaching methods; third, how to combine teaching practice to construct an optimized path of the “language-culture-intercultural communication” trinity. Therefore, based on the perspective of Constructivism, this paper combines the author’ s own teaching practice through reviewing relevant literature, summarizes the research progress of cultural teaching, and provides operable innovative solutions to solve the existing dilemmas, so as to promote the high-quality development of international Chinese language education.
