來華留學生中華歷史文化通識課程建設之思考：教什麼與如何教

隨著大學國際化水準的提高，來華留學生的規模和品質不斷提升，如何面向留學生開展符合其知識、思維特徵及來華學習特點的通識課程顯得日益重要。作為面向留學生的通識教育，中國歷史文化課程以歷史文化的本體介紹為基礎，引導留學生進行中華歷史文化價值與智慧的拓展思考，促進對中華民族整體思維行為方式的理解，並對中國的發展與崛起、中國理念、現象與事件等方面形成合理觀點。該課程是傳播中華文化、宣傳中華智慧等提升「軟實力」的有效途徑，更具有培養知華、友華、潛在的民間外交力量等戰略意義。本文對該通識課程的性質與定位，內容建設與講授方法略作探討，並就後續建設與研究方向提出展望。
