| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 華語文教學研究所 === 99 === Due to the rapid growth and development of China’s economy, many people start to learn Mandarin. Abundant teaching materials have been published; however, a majority of them are designed for adults, not children.
This study attempts to discuss the design of beginning-level Mandarin Chinese teaching materials for overseas children. The author of this study reviews literature of children’s language-learning progress and how different learning features of children are from adults. This study also gives an overview and analysis of the current teaching materials for children. Moreover, to understand the demand of children’s teaching materials, the author interviews the Chinese teachers of children and then tries to explore the principles of children’s teaching material design based on Total Physical Response and Task-based approach and related theories. Furthermore, the author develops an example lesson based on the above principles and makes revision according to students’ feedback after trial teaching. Finally, the author draws a general conclusion for the whole study.
