How to View Cultural Conflict in Intercultural Chinese Language Teaching Class from Freires Critical Theory Perspective

Jialin Wang, Mengzhu Sun

Abstract

As an international education practitioner, the author is aware of the importance of language teaching in education. However, international teachers often neglect intercultural teaching and learning in language teaching. In this article, the author uses Bourdieus theory of
cultural capital and related theories to analyse the intercultural perspective in Freires critical theory. At the same time, the author draws on her
own experience to give practical advice on teaching methods in different cultures, in relation to Freires theory of education, which has been
applied in her work.
