China has experienced a long history of teaching Chinese characters. We should take full
advantage of Chinese teaching experience and transplant it in order to make it to the world.
To this end, I suggest that the students should build a solid foundation for learning Chinese
characters by learning spoken Chinese. The first step is to learn spoken Chinese and the next
step is to learn Chinese characters. Literacy should be started with during the Chinese
teaching process and it needs to be implemented through textbooks and class teaching. It is
important to teach the students step by step and build on the knowledge gradually. The
teaching process should arranged specific to the students’ actual level of ability. The teachers
should be trained and the modern teaching methods should be used appropriately in order to
design teaching programs for different levels. The textbooks should be set up for the amount
of vocabulary to reach around 1500 words. New words should be taught and they should be
turned up in the right order. Chinese pinyin needs to be learned and the vocabulary teaching
needs to be focused on. Writing practices should be arranged properly. During the class
teaching process, teachers should combine form, sound, and meaning, with form as the main
focus. They should make a connection of characters, words and sentences and focus on
characters. Recognizing, reading and writing should be associated together and recognizing
needs to be focused. Memorizing, comparing and analyzing should be used together and
memorizing should be focused.
