DIGITAL TEACHING RESOURCES IN CHINA: LESSONS FOR APPLYING DIGITALIZATION IN CHINESE LANGUAGE TEACHING IN VIETNAM

In the context of the global boom in digital education, digital teaching platforms have become an important force driving educational reform. The successful implementation of digital education resources in China has had a profound impact on international Chinese language education, particularly playing a crucial role in improving teaching quality. This article aims to explore the development, classification, and characteristics of China's digital teaching resources by reviewing related literature and examining relevant case studies, in digital applications in Chinese language education in Vietnam. The research shows a rapid growth of research in this field. China’s digital resources are rich and diverse, covering digital textbooks, multimedia materials, corpora, test banks, and educational websites In contrast, while Chinese language education is widespread in Vietnam, digital adoption remains at an early stage, hindered by challenges such as the slow digitalization of printed textbooks, limited teacher digital competence, and a shortage of localized resources. Drawing on China’s experience, the study highlights potential pathways for Vietnam, including promoting educational informatization, building a tiered curriculum system, fostering international cooperation, and enhancing teacher capabilities. Leveraging China’s mature digital resources could help Vietnam enrich classroom interactivity and improve student learning experiences.
