Applying the Task Assignment Method to Teaching Chinese Reading Comprehension Skills at the Basic Stage at Hung Vuong University

Abstract

In the trend of global integration, Chinese is increasingly proving its important role as an international language, foreign language and culture subject in university programs. Chinese provides students with a new communication tool to absorb advanced scientific and technical knowledge, learn about rich cultural diversity, and easily integrate with the international community. The teaching staff of the Department of Chinese Language and Culture has been using a number of active teaching methods for Chinese Reading comprehension based on two pedagogical perspectives: "learner-centered" and “process-centric”. Among them, task-based teaching method (任务型教学法) is one of the important teaching methods. This is a task-based language teaching method in which instructors guide language learners in completing tasks in class.
