Abstract

For international students in China, education on Chinese national conditions and culture is the main way to help them understand China and shape their positive perception of China and to strengthen China's international communication capacity and enhance the strategic task of national soft power. However, current courses on Chinese national conditions and culture for international students have been found several limitations, such as lack of ideological and political value guidance, being limited to classroom teaching and insufficient integration of the courses. Therefore, this article aims to build a "Four-in-One" teaching approach which can integrate online and offline education to coordinate dynamic and static education, and incorporate theory and practice teaching to combine in-class and out-of-class teaching. Therefore, it's hoped that this will help achieve the goal of talent training for international students in China and improve the quality of international education. Concurrently, it will improve our ability to engage in international communication so as to tell China's stories well, make the voice of China heard, and present a true, multi-dimensional, and panoramic view of China to the world.
