A Study of Cultural Factors in "Thai People Learning Chinese" Textbook from the Cross Cultural Communication Perspective

Abstract

"Thai People Learning Chinese" is a collaborative textbook of China-Thailand. The textbook utilizes the Chinese-Thai culture factors to launch the teaching of language and culture. Through literature research and comparative analysis, the author analyzes the pictures, vocabulary, character images, texts, notes and exercises in the textbook from the perspective of cross-cultural communication. The textbook fully acknowledges the position of learners' native culture in language and culture teaching, guiding learners to use their native culture to communicate with the target language culture implicitly, and to truly achieve "cultural dialogue". According to the analysis of cultural factors in the textbook, targeted suggestions were raised for the compilation of cultural foreign language textbooks, hoping to provide reference for foreign language teachers in textbook selection and help the development of Chinese language textbooks.
