We find a lot of scholars have already paid emphasize on 'le', however, it is still lack of the specific grammar projects research in the field of teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. The study of 'le' in the teaching materials is blank. So, the research on particle 'le' in teaching materials is a new field in teaching Chinese as a second language.In this thesis, the author investigate and analyze particle 'le' in five primary Chinese textbooks which are used popular.
