Research on the Problems and Countermeasures of Confucius Institute Teaching Chinese to Foreigners
Abstract
Under the influence of ideological differences between China and foreign countries and the imbalance of cultural supply and demand, the Confucius Institute’s teaching of Chinese as a foreign language and the spread of Chinese culture encountered problems such as impervious cultural penetration, shortage of teachers, and imperfect management systems. Based on a brief introduction to the Confucius Institute and International language and cultural institutions, this article conducts a study of the existing problems in teaching Chinese as a foreign language Confucius Institute and proposes three corresponding coping strategies aiming to contribute to Chinese culture exerting broad and sustainable influence in the world.References
