Features: The teaching and research of Chinese language and linguistics are the mother and foundation of second language teaching in Chinese. However, as a newly emerging discipline, teaching Chinese as a second language (TCSL) also has many unique characteristics. The book's "Philosophy" section selects specific perspectives to explore the new developments of Chinese linguistics in Sino-Western cultural exchange and the gradually formed theoretical system of second language teaching in Chinese, as well as the pedagogy of teaching Chinese as a second language that has emerged in the practical process of teaching Chinese as a second language. The "Ontology" section specifically discusses and evaluates the teaching of pronunciation, characters, vocabulary, and syntax in teaching Chinese as a second language, with special attention to phrase teaching and complex sentence teaching. The "Culture" section conducts in-depth research on the knowledge structure and cultural literacy in the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture, the quality-oriented education in teaching Chinese as a second language, and Sino-Western cultural exchange under the philosophical background of cultural philosophy. The entire book considers the need to construct a theoretical system for teaching Chinese as a second language, with a strong theoretical abstraction, yet also includes concrete abstractions and value judgments. This book is suitable for Chinese language and linguistics workers, especially those engaged in teaching Chinese as a second language, as well as for readers with a medium level of education.
