English Abstract
Chinese-American literature are an important part of Chinese literature and a literary genre of great cultural and social significance. Chinese-American literary works not only showcase international perspectives and the development of social and cultural issues, but also provide profound reflections on current international situations, social conditions, and human emotions, thereby enhancing readers' understanding and in-depth knowledge of the Chinese-American community. However, the reality is that American students have little knowledge of Chinese-American literature and are unaware of how to explore it. The author attempts to incorporate Chinese-American literature into Chinese language teaching curriculum to help students develop a preliminary understanding of it. Learning Chinese-American literature not only helps to cultivate students' reading skills, critical thinking ability, and humanistic literacy, but also enables them to gain insights into the lives and thoughts of Chinese Americans. Students can form a deeper understanding of immigrant society while improving their Chinese language proficiency. This article presents a systematic approach to introducing the significance and necessity of incorporating the Chinese-American literature course into the curriculum, including the teaching design and practice. It emphasizes a teaching approach that combines classroom learning with service learning. Finally, the article summarizes and reflects on the teaching effectiveness.
Chinese Abstract
美国华文文学（简称美华文学）作品是华文文学的重要组成部分，是一种具有极高文化价值和社会意义的文学类型。美华文学作品既展示了国际化的思维和社会文化的发展状况，也是对当前国际形势、社会现状和人类情感等的深刻折射，并且能够加强读者对当今华裔群体的认识和深入了解。现实情况是，美国学生对美华文学知之甚少，也无从涉猎。本文作者作为一名教师，尝试将其纳入中文教学课程，旨在帮助学生建立对美华文学的初步了解。学习美华文学不仅有助于培养学生的阅读能力、批判性思维能力和人文素养，也有助于学生了解美国华裔的生活和思想。学生在提升中文技能的同时，对移民社会的发展形成更深刻的认识。本文依照行文顺序对美华文学的特征、重要性、纳入大纲的必要性、教学设计、教学实践做了介绍，着重阐述了课堂学习与社会服务相结合的教学设计，最后对教学效果进行了总结和反思。
