How to Use Inquiry Questions in a Lesson——Teaching Chinese as a Second Language

Wenjing Jiao

Abstract


The teaching of Chinese as a second language has attracted wide attention at home and abroad. Therefore, in the process of its continuous development, teachers continue to explore new teaching methods. At present, in the process of language teaching,some teachers are trying a variety of teaching methods, aiming at stimulating students’ enthusiasm and cultivating their learning and thinking abilities. Based on relevant theories and my own teaching experience, this paper takes the topic of teaching Chinese New Year as an example to show how to use inquiry questions in a lesson. These questions can guide students to learn Chinese and Chinese culture step by step. When students learn what they want to know through their own eff orts, they will get a sense of satisfaction.
