Developing Chinese and Boya Chinese widely used in China are two sets of textbooks.This paper will compare the compilation of primary interrogative pronouns in the two sets of textbooks from four aspects: the presentation order of interrogative pronouns,the English interpretation of new words,exercises and presentation frequency.This paper will also compare these two textbooks and Chinese level standard for international Chinese education.Combined with the difficulty level of interrogative pronouns and Ding Xuehuan’s research on the use frequency of interrogative pronouns,and following the two major principles from easy to difficult and the order of use frequency,this paper puts forward some suggestions for the order of compiling interrogative pronoun:where-how many/much-how-about1--how2-how1(ways)-how2(reasons)-how(old).This paper comprehensively analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the English interpretation of 10 interrogative pronouns of the new words,and gives some suggestions.The characteristics of the type,quantity and effectiveness of the exercises in the two textbooks reflect the different teaching priorities of the textbooks.Developing Chinese pays attention to the cultivation of students’ communicative ability,and Boya Chinese pays attention to students’ mastery of basic knowledge.The repetition times of interrogative pronouns in the two textbooks meet the requirements,and the repetition interval meets the law of Ebbinghaus forgetting curve.Finally,through the comparison of this article,we try to provide some ideas for teachers’ teaching of interrogative pronouns and the compilation of teaching materials.
