A Research On Cultural Factors Of The Textbook “Boya Chinese(Intermediate)” Based On Schema Theory

Zhao Jinming(2011)thought that since the formal establishment of the Chinese language course for exchange students who comes from Eastern Europe at Qinghua University in July 1950,the teaching of Chinese as a second language has undergone three major stages: First,the period of pure structural grammar;Second,the period of the structure and function combination;Third,a period the structure,function and cultural combination.From the compilation of teaching materials on the situation,we can easily find textbooks in the process of continuous reform has begun to focus on the relationship between language teaching and cultural teaching,and in the 20 th century 80's,with the awareness of cultural teaching,the importance and necessity of cultural teaching has been clearly.In the meantime,a general understanding of cultural teaching has been formed.Based on the above thinking,the author chooses Boya Chinese(Intermediate),which has a wide influence at present as a sample.Using literature research methods,quantitative and qualitative combination methods and interview methods to finish the research,with the topics,cultural background,words and exercises as the focus,analyzes the cultural factors of Boya Chinese(Intermediate)with schema theory and put forward some personal suggestions for the preparation of teaching materials for intermediate comprehensive classes and teaching:Suggestion for the compilation of teaching materials: It is suggested that the topic selection of comprehensive course materials in the intermediate stage should focus on literature and art,social communication and values.It is suggested that similar topics under a big topic should be centrally arranged and set up units;The vocabulary amount should be moderate and the lesson vocabulary.The quantity is relatively evenly distributed,and the cultural words and phrases are arranged step by step.At the same time,it is suggested that the initial preparation of the teaching materials should be based on repeated experiments to replicate the acquisition of the cultural vocabulary of middle-level students.The average word frequency should be 6 times as much as possible,based on the words themselves.The difficulty level adjusts the word frequency of cultural words and phrases;Finally guarantees the practice quality,enriches the type of exercise,strengthens the number of exercises,and optimizes the sequence of exercises.Teaching Suggestions: Use the “Brainstorming Method” before class to maximize the activation of the original schema in the learners' brain,set up the links of experienceteaching,dialogue teaching,and comparative teaching in class;Assess the mastery of cultural words through practice after class.In the meantime,the examination of content schema and formal schema can not be ignored.The whole teaching process should pay attention to schema monitoring.
