Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v6i12.3022
Abstract
As a consequence of the ongoing evolution of International Chinese Education, the question of how to teach Chinese idiomatic expressions effectively has assumed great importance in the field of language teaching. Idiomatic expressions are characterized by a rich cultural dimension and a vivid, humorous and accessible style that resonates with CFL learners. However, the intrinsic complexity of idiomatic expressions presents a significant challenge to CFL learners, particularly in terms of comprehension and acquisition. This study aims to explore the application and practical effects of the chunk theory in teaching idiomatic expressions in international Chinese. The study is structured as follows: firstly, it analyses the core concepts of the chunk theory; secondly, it analyses the problems in teaching idiomatic expressions; thirdly, it combines the characteristics of international Chinese language teaching; and finally, it proposes a set of strategies for teaching idiomatic expressions.
