The Study on the Status of Chinese Language Education in Lithuania

Abstract

International Chinese education is flourishing recently. Teaching Chinese overseas is an important part of it. The Chinese language teaching in Lithuania was carried out more than ten years. However, survey and theoretical research on Chinese language teaching in Lithuania are still blank. Through a large number of first-hand information on teaching practice, this paper aims to introduce the history and the current situation of Chinese teaching in Lithuania. Then we investigate the reason of learning Chinese, the comprehension degree of China, the attitude of the teaching materials, requirements for teachers, learning and re-learning difficulties. Finally, according to these difficulties and problems, we will promote the construction and reform of the curriculum, strengthen the selection and training of the teachers, focus on the development and improvement of teaching materials and conduct campus activities and interscholastic cooperation.
