On the Reclassification and Implementation of Strategies for Teaching CSL/CFL in the Context of Globalization

Abstract

A good design and implementation of teaching strategies is pivotal to the success of classroom teaching. Given the international promotion of the Chinese language and culture, we offer a critical review of the literature on classroom teaching strategies to address the necessity of reclassification of teaching strategies in the wider CSL/CFL context. We categorize these strategies broadly into three: Direct, indirect, and cooperative teaching strategies and propose that the design and implementation of these teaching strategies be based on Bloom’s taxonomy. Accordingly, we have also provided a sample lesson plan to embody the essence of the taxonomy. We hope that such reclassification and implementation of these teaching strategies in the promotion of CSL/CFL would enrich and diversify CSL/CFL teachers’ classroom teaching repertoire in non-target language environments.
