《YCT标准教程》与《IB国际文凭项目语言B指导大纲》话题对比研究
A Study on the Comparison of Topic of YCT Standard Course and IB Diploma Programme Language B Guide

根据国家教育部门的统计，目前海外将近有1.5亿人在学习中文，许多国家学习中文的人数以百分之五十甚至更高幅度增产，非母语中文学习者的年龄也在逐渐下移。这些留学生或来自或未来将继续IB课程体系，那么其中文学习部分是孤立进行还是可向IB课程靠拢以及如何靠拢正是本文研究的要义。IB国际文凭项目将课程分为语言和文学(语言A)、语言习得(语言B)、个人与社会等六个组别。语言B又称作“第二语言”，其教学理念及培养目标都对国际青少年中文教育的发展具有借鉴意义。话题是语言交际的依托，所以教材中有关课文、词汇和语法项目的编写都离不开话题，都需要依托话题来展开。笔者将以《YCT考试大纲与应考指南》里的话题分类为参考依据，对《YCT标准教程》系列教材的话题内容、出现次数进行归类，其后将其与《IB国际文凭语言B指导大纲》建议话题进行对比，最后为《YCT标准教程》系列教材话题选择和国际中文教育工作者的课堂教学话题选择提供建议。
According to statistics from the national education authorities, nearly 150 million people overseas are currently learning Chinese, with the number of learners in many countries increasing by 50% or even higher. The age of non-native Chinese learners is also gradually decreasing. These students either come from or will continue to engage with the IB curriculum system. Therefore, whether their Chinese learning is conducted in isolation or can align with the IB curriculum—and how to achieve such alignment—is the key focus of this study. The IB Diploma Programme divides its curriculum into six groups: Language and Literature (Language A), Language Acquisition (Language B), Individuals and Societies, among others. Language B, also referred to as the second language has teaching philosophies and learning objectives that provide valuable insights for the development of international Chinese education for young learners. Topics serve as the foundation for language communication. Thus, the compilation of texts, vocabulary, and grammar items in teaching materials must revolve around topics and be structured accordingly. The author will use the topic classification in the YCT Test Syllabus and Exam Guide as a reference to categorize and analyze the topics and their frequency of occurrence in the YCT Standard Course series of textbooks. Subsequently, these will be compared with the suggested topics in the IB Diploma Programme Language B Guide. Finally, recommendations will be provided for topic selection in the YCT Standard Course series and for classroom instruction by international Chinese educators.
