Tourism Chinese under the branch of Chinese for special purposes is an emerging discipline that has emerged with the vigorous development of China’s tourism industry in recent years.Many scholars have just seen its development potential and trend and have begun to try to study tourism Chinese textbooks.Most of the current travel Chinese use a set of common Chinese-English textbooks,which sets a great learning barrier for many students whose native language is not English.Therefore,when compiling tourism Chinese textbooks,it is necessary to take into account the differences of learners’ countries and cultures,and compile country-specific textbooks.At present,most of the research on tourism Chinese textbooks in our country is carried out for general-purpose textbooks,and few of them are targeted at country-specific textbooks,and the country-specific knowledge in them is studied.Therefore,based on the perspective of "nationalization",this paper conducts a comparative study on two nationalized and one general tourism Chinese textbooks,discusses the similarities and differences in the compilation of them,and puts forward some suggestions for the compilation of nationalized textbooks according to their advantages and disadvantages.This paper consists of six chapters:The first chapter is the introduction,which explains in detail the reason and significance of the topic,the research object,the related research review and so on.The second chapter starts from the macro level of teaching materials,and compares and analyzes the applicable objects,medium language and frame structure of teaching materials.It is found that the three textbooks have chosen different languages ??as the medium language due to the different objects of application,and have also designed different styles and structures in order to adapt to the school time arrangement of each country.The third chapter starts from the micro level of the textbook,and makes a statistical analysis of the data of the texts,vocabulary,exercises and cultural items in the textbook with reference to the travel Chinese vocabulary and functional outline,and examines whether the arrangement is in line with the writing concept of the textbook and the Country-specific positioning.After the inspection,it was found that the three textbooks basically conformed to the positioning of the textbooks for elementary and intermediate levels,but the setting of the country-specific knowledge introduction in "Sightseeing Chinese" is more reasonable.The fourth chapter is the questionnaire interview of this article.Questionnaires were distributed to foreign students and workers,and a demand survey was conducted.In-depth interviews with Chinese teachers about teaching were conducted.The travel Chinese textbooks show a supportive attitude and hope to compile more distinctive country-specific textbooks.Chapter 5 puts forward Sino-foreign cooperation from the macro and micro levels in the compilation of the country-specific tourism Chinese textbooks in the future based on the analysis of the previous article,and adopts a practical writing mode;annotates the mother tongue of the language to enrich the teaching style;increase the country-specific vocabulary,improve Seven suggestions on the form of vocabulary compilation.Chapter 6,the conclusion part,further summarizes the main research contents of the previous article,and puts forward the prospect of the future development of nationalized tourism Chinese textbooks.Through the discussion of the Chinese-specific factors of textbooks,it is found that most of the current nationalized textbooks just change a set of target language,and the content selection is still limited to general-purpose textbooks.The problem is that it cannot meet the learning needs of current learners,and there is still room for improvement in the stage and pertinence of textbook content selection.
