Abstract:
This study shows that school-based curriculum planning in the Primary Chinese Language Courses and Learning Module Design: Theory is too general and does not provide answers for specific problems. Most teaching problems, therefore, are not explained or discussed in the book. This leads to unclear concepts, incomplete learning structures, and illogicalities in the design and structure of the learning modules and in the organization of the illustrations and graphs. The results of this study suggest that these problems can be solved if the Primary Chinese Language Courses and Learning Module Design: Theory clearly defines the nature of Chinese language curriculum and focuses on skill-based training in the curriculum guide.
