摘要：在数字媒介深度参与教育的当下，影视材料在“中文作为外语”教学中的运用正 面临新的挑战与机遇。本文以“德语作为外语/第二语言”教学领域为对照框架，梳理 其在影视教学上的理论发展与教学实践，尤其聚焦德语区中文教学的具体语境，分析该 领域对中文教学的可借鉴经验。文章首先探讨“视听理解”作为语言技能的拓展意义， 并从“多模态学习”“情感参与”及“文化语境”角度出发，阐述影视材料在德语与中 文教学中的多重价值。其次，本文比较分析了中德两种语言教学中电影与短视频的使用 模式及其在教材体系中的呈现方式。通过评估中文影视教材与德语影视手册在结构设计、 教学目标与文化处理上的差异，提出适用于中文教学的本土化发展策略。文章最后呼吁 构建数字资源与传统教材之间的桥梁，并提出教学内容、平台建设与教师培训等多方面 的整合路径，以推动中文教学在德语区及更广泛国际语境下的可持续发展。

Title: Exploring the Use of Audiovisual Media in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language: A Comparative Perspective Based on DaF/DaZ Practices in German-Speaking ContextsAbstract: In an era of expanding digital media in education, the use of audiovisual materials in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (ChaF, from Chinesisch als Fremdsprache) has gained renewed importance. This article adopts a comparative lens, drawing on established theories and practices in German as a Foreign and Second Language (DaF/DaZ, from Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache) education to evaluate the role of films and videos in ChaF pedagogy—particularly in German-speaking contexts. The paper first reviews the development of audiovisual comprehension as an extended language skill, emphasizing multimodal learning, emotional engagement, and cultural embeddedness. It then analyzes current uses of film and short video in both German and Chinese language education, with a focus on instructional design, cultural framing, and integration into textbook systems. By comparing Chinese teaching materials with German “film guides” and digital tools, the article identifies key pedagogical strategies that may be adapted for ChaF. It concludes by advocating for the integration of digital and print resources, and outlines essential conditions for sustainable innovation—ranging from content design and platform development to teacher training and
