Abstract

One of the core issues in constructing the “golden class” of undergraduate teaching is to create high-level teacher-student interactive habiventions (habitual-conventions). Through the classroom observation and discourse analysis of international Chinese teaching, it was found that the proficients teachers’ lessons have the characteristics of high fluency of interaction, high student involvement, large language output of students, concise teacher talk, high frequency in class and favored by both teachers and students. The interactive models with such characteristics are named interactive habitual-conventions through years’ research with Grounded Theory. Chinese L2 teachers can continuously optimize their classroom interaction models by promoting their awareness of building interactive habitual-conventions, observing the interactive models of expert teachers, and constantly reflecting on their own interaction process through their own classroom recordings, and finally create a “golden classes” for international Chinese undergraduate teaching which is suitable for students’ age, culture, and Chinese proficiency.
