The Application Of Orff's Music Pedagogy To The Primary Chinese Teaching In Thailand

In recent years,with the improvement of China's opening to the outside world degree,“Chinese Fever” has become an unstoppable trend.The research of Chinese teaching is becoming more and more important.There is a very close relationship between music and language,so many teachers began to try to apply music into the teaching Chinese as a foreign language.Through the analysis of the research achievements of predecessors,I found that most theory achievements and teaching practice just take music as a whole,they think music is song itself,they only put the songs into the teaching class.This method has achieved some effect,but the application form is unitary,and the teaching design is also monotonous.The famous German musician Carl Orff introduced various musical elements in his musical pedagogy.At the same time,he put forward the idea that“combing the music,language and movement with rhythm”.I got inspiration from Orff's music pedagogy,and considered that music has various application forms.We should not be confined to the song,we must think about all the inner elements of music,for example,the rhythm,body feeling and movement,they are also very important.Meanwhile,Orff's music pedagogy emphasizes the original nature of education,namely,the education must accord with human nature and at the same time,it must accord with the natural primitivism and the localization of the humanities culture.The teaching Chinese as a foreign language is itself to foreigners,and in the teaching process,the teacher must consider the learners' personality characteristics and the cultural background.Therefore,Orff's music pedagogy and teaching Chinese as a foreign language is interlinked.In this paper,the children aged from three to eight of my teaching school——Gong Lee Jian Min school are the main objects.I made an investigation of the situation of Chinese teaching,and then compared the teaching methods and analyze the feasibility.After that,I used the rhythm training and the eurythmics in the teaching tentatively,and pay attention to the original nature of education.I showed the specific teaching process from voice,vocabularyand grammar respectively.At last,I discussed the pros and cons of Orff's music pedagogy and gave the complete teaching case design combined with research conclusion.
