Abstract
The teaching of Chinese characters is crucial in international education, as it supports language acquisition, cultural understanding, and cognitive development. Chinese characters are not only a foundation of the Chinese language but also a carrier of Chinese culture, making them essential for learners to gain a deeper connection with the cultural context of the language. To implement Chinese character teaching effectively, strategies should focus on a step-by-step approach, integrating character recognition, reading, and writing skills with cultural insights. This can be achieved through interactive activities, visual aids, technology-assisted learning tools, and cultural immersion experiences, all of which foster an engaging learning environment for international students.
