Research On The Overseas Chinese Culture Teaching Model

Focusing on the true participants and instructors who are the overseas local teachers devoting in the Overseas Chinese Culture Teaching(OCCT)in US,Canada,and six countries of southeast Asia,the study analyzed the dynamic structure of OCCT to enrich the current understanding of overseas Chinese culture teaching problems,and to rethink the structure and elements of overseas Chinese culture teaching.This study aims to solve two problems of the overseas local teachers in OCCT:1.What are the elements needed in OCCT from the essence of view?2.What type of competence and thinking mode must be required for overseas Chinese teachers in OCCT?Teaching model is an overall conceptual framework,and the ultimate goal of culture teaching model is to help overseas Chinese learners to learn culture more accurately and efficiently.The research method is mainly based on qualitative research,supplemented by quantitative research which can make up for the insufficiency of qualitative analysis.Firstly,complex and dynamic elements and characteristics of the teaching model are reviewed through the literature.Secondly,all the dimensionsareanalyzed by SPSS and the four dimensions are observed by Nvivo to construct the teaching model.At the same time,the study summarizes the teaching thinking of local teachers and the learning thinking of Chinese learners.Finally,an empirical study on the OCCT model is conducted in the Vietnamese universities.The dissertation includes six chapters as follows:The first chapter is an introduction.The problems in OCCT are reviewed from the perspective of macro and microand the significance and value of the research arestated.And in the review of the research,the complex dynamic theory,teaching models and culture teaching models are introduced to clearly define some basic concepts and explain the research content and methodology.The second chapter is the result of the investigation and analysis.In terms of quantitative analysis,the model,which covers the source of meaning,meaning interpretation,meaning understanding and teaching thinking,is analyzed by SPSS,among which meaning interpretation is the most important.At the same time,the variables are examined by T-test and Nvivo,and the results are not significantly different,so the model has a wide range of applications.In terms of qualitative analysis,the elements which are most concerned by overseas Chinese teachers areselectedand the project map and bar chart are used to illustrate the similarities,differences and tendencies of the overseas teachers between the United States and Canada and Southeast Asia.The third chapter studies the elements in the OCCT model.First,from the perspective of four dimensions,the hierarchical diagram of coding ratio and the lexical cloud analysisare investigated.The relevant theories of the source of cultural meaning,meaning interpretation and meaning understanding are summed up.Second,the coding elements of the model are observed from the perspectives of teachers,learners and learning environment.And the relationship and the dynamic characteristics of the teacher,the learner and the environment are also observed.The fourth chapter is about the construction of OCCT model.Based on the results of the model analysis,the complex characteristics of the teaching elementsin OCCT are derived.And combined with the dynamic characteristics analyzed in the third chapter,the complex dynamic system theory is chosen as the theoretical basis to think about the mutual interactions among the environment,teachers and learners.Finally,the study puts forward a specific direction to accelerate the communication and to achieve an effective and accurate communication for teachers and learners.The fifth Chapter is the study on the effectiveness of OCCT Model.71 Vietnamese students are selected to conduct an empirical study on "OCCT Model".For the learners,the results show that the experimental group performed significantly better than the control group which indicates that the constructed model can improve the cultural learning effect.For the teachers,aiming at the teaching content,the researcher communicated with 34 native Vietnamese teachers and completed the questionnaire of conformity.The average value of the samples reaches the theoretical average value of 2.5,which is consistent with the cultural teaching practice in the classroom.At the same time,in the interview with 15 local teachers,it is found that there is a bilateral interaction between teachers and cultural elements in the model,whichcan further improve the elements that have not been considered in the OCCT model.The sixth chapter is the conclusion.The innovation of the study is to reconstruct the theoretical system of OCCT from a complex and dynamic perspective.Second,a survey on OCCT model is conducted among overseas Chinese teachers from the US,Canada and six countries in southeast Asia.Third,the differences between the teaching of Chinese culture by native speakers of Chinese and non-native speakers of Chinese are observed and recorded.And the teaching experiment at the Chinese Department of the Vietnamese University also demonstrates the effectiveness of the OCCT model.And finally the elements in the model can not only be the foundation of teaching culture for local teachers abroad,but also be the direction of learning Chinese culture for overseas learners.The value of the study is to break the research way of introspection and observation according to researcher’s personal experience.Instead,the study analyzes the interviews and the questionnaires to find out the OCCT model and its complexity and dynamics,and the study sums up the principles of learning such as country-specific,interdisciplinary and multiple sense channel,frequency of learning culture on the basis of complex dynamic theory and relocates the role of teacher and the goals of learning culture in the overseas culture class.Finally,there are also some suggestions for the future research such as nationalization of teacher training,transnational co-compilation of culture teaching and learning materials,interdisciplinary cooperation,the analy sis of culture learning behavior of in different countries and establishment of database.
