ABSTRACT

To learn a language, we must know its characters, and then expand step by step to vocabulary, grammar and so on. However, phonetics, vocabulary and grammar have always been the core elements of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, and the teaching of Chinese characters has always been in a subordinate position, relatively lagging behind. At the same time, the input of Chinese characters teaching in both human and material resources is very little, resulting in the phenomenon that many Chinese learners can only listen and speak, but find it difficult to read and write. The current situation of teaching Chinese characters to foreign students has affected the further development of teaching Chinese as a foreign language to some extent. We must face up to the difficulties and strive to solve this problem. This paper puts forward some suggestions for Chinese character teaching from four aspects: advancing Chinese language, Chinese character culture and classroom, creating Chinese character learning environment for Chinese learners, setting up an independent classroom for Chinese characters and new media technology.
