The age of non-native Chinese learners is also gradually decreasing. These students either come from or will continue to engage with the IB curriculum system. Therefore, whether their Chinese learning is conducted in isolation or can align with the IB curriculum—and how to achieve such alignment—is the key focus of this study. The IB Diploma Programme divides its curriculum into six groups: Language and Literature (Language A), Language Acquisition (Language B), Individuals and Societies, among others. Language B, also referred to as the second language has teaching philosophies and learning objectives that provide valuable insights for the development of international Chinese education for young learners. Topics serve as the foundation for language communication. Thus, the compilation of texts, vocabulary, and grammar items in teaching materials must revolve around topics and be structured accordingly. The author will use the topic classification in the YCT Test Syllabus and Exam Guide as a reference to categorize and analyze the topics and their frequency of occurrence in the YCT Standard Course series of textbooks.
