Applied Linguistics (Yuyan Wenzi Yingyong)

Abstract

This thesis investigates into the design of undergraduate curriculum for foreign students majored in Chinese. Three topics are discussed in this thesis: the level Chinese majors should achieve through their BA study, the characteristics of SLA and characteristics of Chinese language. Based on the discussions, the thesis suggests that “Theoretical Studies on Chinese Language” should be included in the required course. It also proposes that, in the light of the content and the target level, a rational and comprehensive evaluation should be given to Chinese language as an independent major, and hence provides a basis for the design of the curriculum. Finally, this thesis also points out that “Theoretical Studies on Chinese Language” for foreign students should be different from “Modern Chinese Language” and “Ancient Chinese Language” offered in the department of Chinese language, that it should be distinctively characterized both in contents of the text books and the way of teaching.
