Abstract

Against the backdrop of globalization, international Chinese language education has gradually emerged as an important bridge for disseminating Chinese culture and deepening mutual understanding among nations. Among this trend, ancient Chinese language resources stand out like a bright pearl, with their unique value receiving attention. Utilizing both literature analysis and case studies, this research delves deeply into the significant role of ancient Chinese language resources in international Chinese language education, and explores effective methods for tapping into and utilizing these resources. The ancient Chinese language resources possess multiple values in international Chinese language education. To effectively tap into and utilize these resources, this study proposes a series of strategies. Firstly, it is necessary to strengthen resource integration, systematically integrating scattered ancient Chinese language resources to form a convenient resource library, facilitating easy access and use by educators and learners. Secondly, it is essential to promote innovative teaching methods, exploring teaching techniques suitable for international Chinese language education in light of the characteristics of ancient Chinese, thereby enhancing teaching effectiveness. Simultaneously, personalized textbooks should be developed based on learners' needs and characteristics, making ancient Chinese language resources more attuned to learners' practical requirements. Furthermore, it is crucial to enhance teacher training, improving teachers' understanding and teaching abilities of ancient Chinese language resources, providing a solid talent guarantee for international Chinese language education. Lastly, modern technological means, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, should be fully utilized to assist in the teaching of ancient Chinese language resources, providing learners with a more vivid and visual learning experience.
