Comparison Of Chinese Textbooks For Japanese Learners

As China’s national economic strength and international status have increased,more and more Japanese are learning Chinese.The proliferation of primary Chinese textbooks in China and Japan easily confuses teachers and learners when they are choosing.Textbooks are the basis of teaching,and the quality of learning is directly affected by the quality of textbooks.It is especially important to write targeted Chinese textbooks for Japanese learners.Based on the statistical data and comparative analysis,this paper examines the similarities and differences between Chinese conversation 301 sentences(Japanese version)and Standard Chinese language for China-Japan communication,in terms of phonetics,vocabulary,grammar,texts,and exercises,and identifies their respective strengths and weaknesses in order to provide some ideas for the future development of Chinese language textbooks for Japanese learners or teachers who need to teach Chinese to Japanese learners.Based on the specific statistics and analysis of the contents of each part of the two textbooks,the author proposes some suggestions for the future development of the Chinese language textbooks for beginners in Japan.First,sufficient space should be given to the phonetic part to introduce the differences between the Chinese and Japanese phonetic systems and pronunciation methods,and on this basis,a vivid and intuitive way should be used to explain them.Second,the selection of vocabulary and grammar should be controlled both in terms of quantity and level.The selection of vocabulary and the example sentences in the grammar section should be authentic and practical.Third,the selection of text topics should be closely related to real life and increase the content of cultural comparison between China and Japan.Fourth,the type of practice should be mainly comprehension and application type,with precise lectures and more practice.Based on the comparison of the specific contents of the two textbooks,the author proposes that the preparation of Chinese language textbooks for Japanese should not only take the Chinese syllabus as a reference,but also study the syllabus that is specific to Japanese learners.
