A Study On The Design And Practice Of A Comprehensive Elementary Chinese Language Course Based On A Blended Teaching Model

In the context of the ’Internet+’,blended learning and teaching has grown considerably,and the massive global presence of online teaching and learning has provided a wealth of experience in international Chinese language education,while at the same time posing new challenges.In its physical dimension,blended learning is a teaching context based on mobile communication devices,online learning environments and classroom discussions.In the pedagogical dimension,it is about creating a truly highly participatory and personalised learning experience for students.The blended teaching model brings new teaching methods and tools to integrated beginner Chinese classes overseas and can be adapted to the differentiated learning needs of different learners at Confucius Institutes.This study understand the basic situation of the integrated junior Chinese language classes and the students.Secondly,we constructed a hybrid teaching model that integrated the analysis of the front end,the teaching process and the post-evaluation,and used this model as a guide to carry out the hybrid teaching arrangement and specific teaching design using the New Practical Chinese Textbook as an example.(1)The application of the blended teaching mode in the elementary Chinese integrated course was successful,and the students’ satisfaction with the blended teaching tended to be close to "satisfactory".(2)It takes a process for learners to adapt to the blended mode of teaching,but the blended mode of teaching also has a significant impact on the learners’ academic performance.(3)The overload of learning tasks is the biggest shortcoming of this blended learning model in practice.International Chinese teachers should continue to improve the blended teaching model according to local and contemporary circumstances.In the light of the actual situation,the author proposes corresponding teaching suggestions: short and concise online classes,more lectures and practice in offline classes;building a learning community and creating a good Chinese learning community atmosphere;adapting to local conditions,asking local teachers for advice,and young teachers need to pay more attention to accumulating experience;exploring the diversity of blended teaching model applications.This study hopes to provide some reference for the subsequent research on the application of blended teaching in the integrated primary Chinese classroom of international Chinese education.
