Abstract

Education for International Understanding can provide practical paths for Chinese language teachers, teaching materials, and pedagogy to tell China's stories well. In order to improve the dissemination effect of Chinese stories in teaching Chinese as a foreign language， We started with teachers, teaching materials and teaching methods and obtained the following results from the research: Chinese language teachers should improve their intercultural communication skills and become practitioners of international understanding education and tellers of China's stories; international Chinese language teaching materials should be developed by The Framework of Reference for Culture and Society Chinese in International Chinese Language Education and seek to integrate Chinese stories and local stories based on international understanding education; The Chinese pedagogy should gradually adopt a "Concept-based Teaching and Learning" pedagogy to promote the construction of learners' conceptual framework and help them understand China's stories.
