Abstract

The PAD Class is an innovative teaching model proposed by Professor ZHANG John Xue-xin from Fudan University in 2014, which is composed of three parts: presentation, assimilation, and discussion (PAD), with the key idea of allocating half of the class time to teacher’s presentation and the other half to students’ discussion. At present, few Chinese language teachers introduce it to TCFL (Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language), especially to Advanced Chinese Comprehensive Course (ACCC). Our study aims to prove its feasibility and superiority by conducting a one-semester teaching experiment in four parallel classes of 100 junior foreign students who all passed the new HSK5 before. To ensure that the levels of the four classes are almost the same, we rank the students according to their scores, and divide them into four classes in the order of 1, 4, 5, 8… and 2, 3, 6, 7… (each class has 25 students). We experiment with PAD class in Class A1 and Class A2, but inherit the traditional teaching model in Class B1 and B2. Afterwards we input their HSK scores into statistics software SPSS22 with the results of P = 0.763, indicating that the division of these four classes is scientific. Experiment result shows that teaching effect of experimental classes is dramatically better than that of non-experimental classes. PAD class can greatly stimulate learning interest of students, and enhance their initiative and self-confidence, and promote all-round development of their language abilities. It is proven to be an effective teaching model for ACCC with diverse merits.
