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.
