THE CURRENT SITUATION, PRINCIPLES AND TRENDS IN COMPILING CHINESE LANGUAGE SYLLABUS IN RECENT YEARS

Abstract

It has been more than 60 years from the first publication textbook named “Textbook of Chinese” in 1958. Up to now, China has nearly 20,000 Chinese textbooks more than from 20 different publishers. The development of teaching materials is not based on publishing new teaching materials, but in needing a breakthrough and innovation in the editing of textbooks. Building and compiling textbooks is a complicated job. If only based on a few common principles is not enough, it is extremely necessary to be the combination of the development of disciplines, educational methods and practical experience at work. We need to study and discuss more about the fundamentals of curriculum development and the designing complete teaching materials. In recent years, the current Chinese teaching curriculum inherit the advantages of the previous textbooks, and has had many positive updates and innovations, contributing to improve the quality of teaching learning Chinese.
