The ultimate aim of’ Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language’ is to develop the ability of using Chinese to communicate. Comparing with’shuo, du, xie’,the ability ’ting’,as the foundation of communication, is the most difficult language skill for learners to master.

Preparatory Chinese Education is a typical representative of intensive Chinese teaching.
