With a view on the entire structure of Chinese teaching and learning as a second language among American high school students and through scientifically conducting the five relations and subdividing the teaching purpose, contents, and objects, this paper will elaborate the strategy on selecting and combining different teaching methods in the whole Chinese teaching and learning process. The purpose of this paper is to greatly develop the effectiveness in teaching and learning Chinese as a second language through selecting appropriate strategies and integrating various advantages according to the teaching purpose, content, and the object.展开更多
