Abstract

The methodology of the Princeton Model of TCFL (Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language) is widely used in Chinese language courses in many North American universities and proves to be highly effective in promoting students’ language skills and proficiency, with a deep influence in the field of second language teaching. The success of this language teaching methodology also brings inspiration to College English teaching in Chinese universities, especially in terms of teaching methods such as the direct method and listening & speaking methods. This paper aims to explore the application of the Princeton Model of TCFL to College English teaching in China, which is actually a brand new research field both at home and abroad. Though with some challenges, the application of the Princeton Model of TCFL not only arouses students’ enthusiasm to express themselves in the target language and efficiently enhances student engagement through active learning, but also markedly promotes their speaking and listening skills.
