Research on Interactive Communication between Teachers and Students in Elementary Chinese Speaking Courses in Thai Universities：From the Perspective of Communication Strategy Theory

Abstract

Interactive communication is the most typical feature of interpersonal communication, and it is also the core content of Chinese spoken language teaching. In the current Chinese beginner spoken language teaching in Thai universities, there is often more emphasis on unidirectional expression in the communication process, while the positive role and value of bidirectional communication in Chinese are somewhat overlooked to some extent. The interaction between teachers and students in elementary Chinese oral classes should be carried out in an active and harmonious communicative atmosphere. Through the tacit cooperation of all parties involved in the communication, language knowledge and skills are applied comprehensively to achieve turn-taking in conversation. The aim is to overcome communication obstacles by using reasonable communication strategies, ensuring the smooth and effective progress of communication activities, and ultimately realizing the communicative nature of classroom teaching. This article focuses on the interactive communicative behavior between teachers and students in the classroom of elementary spoken Chinese in Thai universities. From the perspective of communication strategy theory and in combination with the specific characteristics of students in Thai universities, the article uses literature research methods and classroom observation methods to analyze the existing problems and their solutions. Based on this, it proposes suggestions for the construction of an interactive communication model from both the strategy and implementation aspects, in the hope of benefiting the enhancement of the teaching effectiveness of beginner spoken Chinese in Thai universities.
