THE APPLICATION OF CULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN INTERNATIONAL CHINESE TEACHING: A CASE STUDY OF DEMI-GODS AND SEMI-DEVILS

บทคัดย่อ

This study aims to: (1) analyze the application modes of Wuxia works in international Chinese education, with a focus on the cultural values embodied in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils; (2) construct a classroom transformation logic integrating cultural elements, linguistic forms, and teaching objectives through the analysis of JiangHu ethics and their linguistic features; and (3) design culture-language integrated teaching schemes for international Chinese classrooms. This study adopts a qualitative research approach, combining literature review and content analysis. The research focuses on the four dimensions of JiangHu ethics—righteousness, affection, loyalty, and responsibility—and analyzes their linguistic representations in Jin Yong’s Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. The findings reveal that Wuxia works can provide authentic cultural and linguistic resources for international Chinese education. JiangHu ethics are expressed through evaluative vocabulary, modality systems, commitment sentence patterns, causal complex sentences, and transitional structures. Based on these findings, the study constructs a three-tier instructional framework covering vocabulary, sentence, and discourse levels for HSK 4–6 learners. Furthermore, an integrated teaching scheme is proposed to transform literary texts into communicative classroom activities. The study suggests that Wuxia literature can effectively support culture-language integrated teaching and promote learners’ intercultural understanding.
