The Integration of Ideological and Political Elements in "Chinese Stories" into the Training of Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages Teacher Candidates

Abstract

Against the backdrop of global shifts in discourse systems, the era of promoting Chinese culture internationally has reached a critical phase. In the field of Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages, beyond imparting language skills, there is a need to integrate the ideological and political mission of "telling China's stories well and disseminating China's positive voice" into the teaching and learning process. This paper explores specific approaches for cultivating Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages teacher trainees, effectively embedding the ideological and political requirement of "telling China's stories well" into their training, and highlighting the educational orientation of Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages in the new era. The focus is on enhancing teacher trainees' cultural confidence and awareness of proactive dissemination, improving their ability to tell "China's stories" and innovate in teaching, strengthening the development of a thematic database on "Chinese Experience and Chinese Language Teaching," and fostering specialized professionals who, while upholding the distinctive characteristics of China's local culture, possess an international perspective and are capable of disseminating "China's stories" overseas.
