Optimization Strategies for Integrating the Concept of Sustainable Development into International Chinese Language Education

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the global sustainable development agenda and the trend of international Chinese language education evolving from "language acquisition" to "holistic learning", this paper, guided by Tongji University’s new paradigm of green humanities, adopts literature research and case study methods. It first explores the dilemmas and missions of international Chinese language education under the concept of sustainable development, then conducts an in-depth analysis of the "optimal integration points" between the concept of sustainable development and international Chinese language education from four dimensions: curriculum, teaching, teachers, and evaluation system. Finally, it proposes that international Chinese language education should take green humanities as the medium to systematically construct an overall framework encompassing the dual goals of "language learning" and "sustainable learning", so as to cultivate new-type talents with international Chinese language education capabilities for global sustainable development.
