Research On The Writing Of Exercises For Intermediate Chinese Oral Teaching Materials Based On Task Outpu

In view of the limited theoretical perspectives on the writing of speaking materials and the lack of research on intermediate and advanced teaching materials,this paper selects two sets of task-based oral Chinese teaching materials,namely New Era Oral Chinese and New Target Oral Chinese,and summarises their strengths and weaknesses in the writing of exercises through a comparative analysis of the number of exercises,exercises types and exercise contents.The purpose is to provide some suggestions for the development of the task-based oral Chinese textbooks.The paper is divided into six chapters,structured as follows:The first chapter is an introduction,which explains the reason for the selection of the topic and its significance,summarises the current status of relevant research,and introduces the research subjects and the research methods used.The second chapter sorts out the principles of exercises compilation for intermediate Chinese speaking materials from three perspectives: task output,Chinese textbook exercises compilation,and Chinese speaking lessons,which sets the theoretical framework for the comparative analysis that follows.The third chapter makes a statistical analysis of the amount and type of exercises in the two sets of textbooks,and finds out the advantages and disadvantages of the two textbooks in the practice setting of output tasks.Chapter four is a statistical analysis of the task exercises settings of the two sets of textbooks in terms of words,sentences and paragraphs.Based on the results of statistical analysis,the fifth chapter puts forward some suggestions for the exercise compilation of task-output intermediate Chinese speaking materials.The last chapter is the conclusion,which summarizes the main research contents and results of this paper,and briefly explains the deficiencies of the research.Through research,this paper finds that both New Era Oral Chinese and New Target Oral Chinese have problems in terms of the number and type of exercises fluctuating widely,uneven distribution of exercises and insufficient communicative exercises;in terms of the content of the exercises,they both focus on the output of discourse passages and emphasize the training of Chinese thinking skills.Therefore,firstly,it is important to keep adequacy and stability of both the number and type of exercises.Secondly,more practical communicative tasks and cross-cultural communicative tasks should be designed to enhance learners’ communicative competence;thirdly,various forms of exercises should be used to promote learners’ production of passages,and the role of "mind maps" and "tables" should be fully utilised to develop learners’ Chinese thinking skills.
