Abstract

With its convenience and sharing, online Chinese teaching is gradually becoming the main method of international Chinese teaching in the context of the epidemic. However, at the same time, online Chinese teaching also has some drawbacks, such as poor interactivity, being gradually exam-oriented, and insufficient experience of teaching online. This paper uses the method of literature analysis to analyze the spoken Chinese teaching in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language under the perspective of sociocultural theory, and comes up with several pedagogical implications for teaching foreigners Chinese on the Internet. It can be concluded that sociocultural theory can guide the teaching of Chinese as a Foreign Language online and contributes to the development of its teaching mode. From the perspective of sociocultural theory, teachers should insist the principle of taking the student as the main role of class, help them taste specific culture through simulated situational teaching, and accumulate teaching experience, which can also be beneficial to online platform construction.
