Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - Intercultural Pedagogy, grade: 9, University of Belgrade, language: English, abstract: This work examines the difficulties and challenges in teaching Chinese to people from a different cultural context, more specifically from Serbia. As the relationship between China and Serbia becomes closer, more and more students in Serbia begin to learn Chinese, but different cultural context is a huge obstacle for both students and teachers. Although the important role of culture in language education has by now been realized, effective teaching method and suitable teaching content are still confusing research questions. Through this research, the situation of Chinese culture teaching in Serbia will be examined, and ways for Chinese culture teaching in Chinese classes and solutions for culture teaching problems by getting in contact with Chinese language students and teachers will be explored.
