“…Additionally, scholars have conducted research on exercise design in Chinese language textbooks for foreign learners and have found issues such as a lack of variety in exercise types, insufficient quantity, and repetitive design in the textbooks [6] . To address these issues, evaluation standards for exercise arrangement and assessment criteria for Chinese language teaching materials have been designed by the academic community.…”

As global trade expands, proficiency in Chinese, especially in business settings, becomes increasingly vital. Embedded exercises within educational materials play a crucial role in reinforcing knowledge, refining skills, and enhancing comprehension. This article adopts a broad-to-specific approach, first providing an overview of research on exercises in international Chinese language textbooks and then focusing on a detailed review of exercise design in Business Chinese language textbooks, analyzing 282 papers published since the 1990s. By examining research on exercise development in Business Chinese textbooks, it provides valuable insights into the optimal trajectory for exercises in international Chinese language textbooks. Additionally, this article offers recommendations for the design of international Chinese business textbooks, advocating for the integration of multimedia technology, project-driven exercises, and the inclusion of emotional elements in textbook exercises.

China and Japan are close neighbors who belong to the same East Asian Chinese character culture system, and have many similarities in language and folk culture. This thesis takes folk culture as a research perspective, and compares the similarities and differences between Chinese and Japanese cultures in terms of food culture and taboo culture respectively. Firstly, the article explains the definition scope and classification criteria of folk culture; secondly, the two points of food culture and taboo culture are selected for comparison from material folklore and spiritual folklore. Food culture focuses on table manners, cooking standards and eating habits, and analyzes the reasons for the formation of food culture from three aspects: economic development, geographical environment and social culture. Finally, the scope of taboo culture is large, so this paper selects two representative differences in numerical taboos and color taboos for discussion, showing the preference of Chinese and Japanese folklore. Finally, a short summary of the significance of folk culture for cross-cultural communication is presented.

“…The research in this area needs to be strengthened urgently. This paper draws on the framework of multimodal discourse analysis [Multimodal discourse analysis is a new theory emerging in the West in the 1990s, based on systemic functional linguistics (Halliday 1985, Halliday & Matthiessen 2004, Martin 1992) and Social Semiotics (Kress & Van Leeuwen 1996, 2001. Multimodal discourse theory has been applied to various fields such as advertising, culture and film, and has also provided a SHS Web of Conferences 162, 01030 (2023) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/202316201030 ADCS 2023 * new perspective for disciplinary teaching and research.…”

Based on the framework of multimodal discourse analysis, this paper uses ELAN 6.2 to annotate and quantitatively analyze the characteristics and differences in the use of multimodal discourse in the teaching videos of “Ba”-construction between a Chinese novice teacher and an experienced teacher. The results showed that among the four modal types, both the novice teacher and the experienced teacher used more behavioral modalities. With essentially the same teaching sessions, there was also consistency in the choice of modality. Environmental modality was used throughout the teaching. In the grammar teaching of the experienced teacher, the auditory modality was the main modality, and students made a lot of effective discourse output. He was good at using facial expressions and hand movements to guide students’ learning and creating a good learning environment. Teachers were more inclined to use hand movements (indicative) to guide students’ learning and convey clearer and more explicit messages. Grammar is taught through the judicious use of appropriate modalities or multimodal combinations in each teaching session. This study can provide some reference for the development of teachers’ grammar teaching in international Chinese education.
