Abstract

It is especially crucial to convey the tale of China accurately and to make the voice of China heard given the country's current state of growth. It is still unknown how to include Chinese culture into English instruction systematically. The aim of the study is to make full advantage of the traditional educational value of Chinese stories, to strengthen curriculum development skills among undergraduates majoring in primary education, and to improve the school-based curriculum materials in Tianjin primary schools. It was developed and put into practice to use the "Telling China Stories in English" curricular program in schools. However, the development and implementation of this course still have certain issues, such as unclear course material levels, incorrect understanding of the learning environment, and overly ambitious course content. In order to improve the standard of school-based English curriculum on Chinese traditional culture, the research suggests addressing the aforementioned issues through an in-depth study of the knowledge of delivering Chinese stories in English, diverse instruction, and appropriate course content reduction.
