Abstract

There are many Chinese textbooks with different levels, which are edited by Japanese publishers. However, compared with those edited in China, textbooks made in Japan are generally easier with more cultural introduction and vividly interesting illustrations. The author will make an analysis of Japan’s recently published Chinese textbooks, which may be a direct reference to the writing of country-specific TCFL (Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language) textbooks in China. In this paper, 13 recently published introductory Chinese textbooks have been chosen to measure their vocabulary sizes, grammatical items and both Chinese and Japanese cultural elements. Meanwhile, the separate syllabus coverages of the vocabulary and grammatical items included in these 13 textbooks have be calculated based on the New HSK Syllabus (Level I, II &III).
