A Review on the Study of Confucius Institutes and Their Significance in Foreign Cultural Communication —— Research Based on National Social Science Fund Project
Confucius Institutes are widely distributed in the world and play an important role in the development of Chinese language teaching and cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and foreign countries. At the same time, there are also many researches on Confucius Institutes in academic circles. Among the CSSCI journal papers funded by the National Social Science Fund published on CNKI literature platform up to February 2020, the key research directions can be summarized into four perspectives: development research, international teaching of Chinese language, cultural communication and its influence, and other researches. In order to strengthen the further research of Confucius Institutes, we can enrich the research methods and expand the ideas of selecting topics.
