ABSTRACT

The present study selects four editions of the high school textbooks ≪ChineseⅠ≫ published from 2002 until today - total of 31 textbooks - as subjects of the study to discuss about the changes and stagnation in organization order and contents of the section of pronunciation and four language skills from diachronic viewpoint. According to this national curriculum, the revised versions of ≪ChineseⅠ≫ were published in 2002, 2012, 2014 and 2018 respectively. The current paper attempts to grasp the overall revision flow of the revised textbook from the diachronic viewpoint. The result shows that in terms of the order of organization, there were numerous attempts considering the efficiency of learning. However, in the contents of organization, some points were not improved or revised yet. The pronunciation parts were focused more on ease than the accuracy of the explanation, and the activities of the four language skills were still more mechanical exercises rather than meaningful exercises. Following to the changing era, the national curriculum will be revised in the future, and revised version of ≪ChineseⅠ≫ will also be published. Through these kind of evaluation, the improvement of the revised textbooks should be continued, and the points of regression and the stagnation must be corrected.
