3.2 The application: An illustrative case of lesson plan design
for Chinese language education
To ensure that Chinese language teaching remains represented in the
global discourse on the application of principled eclecticism in foreign
language teaching practice, this study builds upon the aforementioned
theoretical foundations. Following the lesson plan template recommended
by Cushing-Leubner & Bigelow (2014) and drawing on a Chinese textbook
edited by Cai (2020), ”Reading
Taiwan, Learning Chinese,”《閱讀臺灣·學華語》this paper outlines a
principled eclectic lesson plan centered around Lesson Seven: ”Hoping
Sons Become Dragons and Daughters Become
Phoenixes”〈望子成龍,望女成鳳〉 (Table 1). This serves as a guideline
for practical teaching applications and the development of a checklist
for principled eclectic Chinese language teaching.
