Because of the rapid economic development and rising international
status of China, the work of “Chinese international communication” has
gradually became very important to our country, and its main purpose is to
promote the Chinese in the world. The promotion of Chinese includes the
Chinese foreign language teaching and the spread of Chinese culture.
Audio-visual teaching has always been very important and effective method
in second language teaching. Television audio-visual teaching is a new
teaching method based on the advantages of traditional audio-visual teaching,
and fulfills the tasks of foreign language teaching and culture spread. This
new method provides for “Chinese international communication” broad
platform. The video resource development and selection is the key to how
to make the television audio-visual teaching play advantage in Chinese
international communication.
In this paper, we proposed that the Sitcoms could be an important
resource for audio-visual teaching, and demonstrated this point from
theoretical basis, the feasibility of television audio-visual teaching, and the
features of Sitcoms, etc. In addition, the article carried out a specific
teaching practice with the example of Sitcoms, “I love my family”. By
twice implementations of instruction design, the facts show that Sitcoms can
be a kind of high-quality foreign language teaching resources, not only
because its applicability but also its moderate difficulty.
I hope this study can provide some ideas for resource selection and
teaching of television audio-visual teaching, but also hope this study can
play some positive role in “Chinese international communication”. This study
has its own limitations, whether in research of related literature or in
teaching practice. Urge the scholars and experts criticize and give correct
advice.
