A Study of Student-triggering Online Interactive Teaching of Spoken Chinese

Abstract

Due to the impact of the covid-19 pandemic, the international Chinese classroom has shifted from offline to online instruction mainly. The change in teaching environment has brought greater challenges to the optimization of the teaching model. Since online teaching is still in the exploration and development stage, the interactive effect of classroom is far less than that of offline teaching. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the interaction problem of online teaching, especially in oral teaching, teachers should take the learners as the center, master the basic methods of interactive teaching, and promote the communication and interaction between both sides to achieve the two-way improvement of Chinese communication level. This paper discusses the simplest and most commonly used form of question-and-answer (Q&A) interaction in interactive teaching, analyzes interactive behaviors that can promote Q&A in online classrooms, summarizes their motivations and teaching principles, and draws several pedagogical inspirations that can facilitate students to trigger Q&A interactions in order to provide practical services for international Chinese teaching online classrooms.
