ABSTRACT

Curriculum design is an essential factor of the education which focuses on guiding and developing the potentials of students. This is particularly true of schools at the university level, where the diversity of a curriculum will be a sticking point to the department. Recently, especially after we went through so called "Global Financial Turbulence/Crisis" which is the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression nearly 80 years ago, there is a strong tendency to social moral standard in curriculum design. We can't deny that one of the essential educational themes of Teaching Chinese to Foreigners is to spread chinese culture, social values, social standards and heritage; and further the communication, understanding; and eventually promote the peace of human societies. This paper focuses on the curriculum design of Teaching Chinese to Foreigners. It suggests to open "Educational Philosophy Class" which emphasizes on ethics and moral accomplishment; "Cross-Cultural Class" which divides into two models, general theory model and country-specific model; and "Chinese Cultural Skills Class"; "Second Foreign Language Class"; "Multimedia and Digitalized Teaching of Chinese Class"; "Oversea Intern Programs" in order to better improve and consummate the subject.
