「華人社會與文化」係教育部華語文學分學程、學程系所，所列選讀的重要領域之一。 「華人社會與文化」也是國家「對外華語文教學能力認證」考試認證教學考試必考科目之 一，可見「華人社會與文化」是華語文教學領域中一個非常重要的科目。揆諸現今海華人 幾近五千萬，無論對華裔子弟的華文教育或外籍人士的華語學習而言，均應對此科目有所 認知。語文教育的最終目的，終將回歸文化面，讓文化與語言密切結合。華裔子弟或各地 外籍人士對於中華文化的了解，而華人社會歷經世代交替與當地民族、文化融合而出不同 的華人文化，更是有志於莘莘學子應予關注的面向。 本論文使用文獻分析法，針對台灣「華人社會與文化」教學的情形作一分析，並就華 語教學能力認證考試、以及臺灣師範大學集合三十多位華語文教師，所研發的《華語教學 系所課程大綱彙編》來進行比對，進而提出建議，期對目前臺灣「華人社會與文化」課程 綱要與設計提出些建言為禱，並就教 方家共同關注此一議題。

"The Chinese Society and Culture" is one of the most important areas in the selected readings listed by the Chinese language and literature credited programs, departments, and graduate schools of Ministry of Education. "The Chinese Society and Culture" is also one of the required subjects to be tested for the recognition pedagogy examination for the national “Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language Proficiency Certificate” examination. It is thus obvious that "The Chinese Society and Culture" is a subject of critical importance in the field of teaching the Chinese language and literature. In view of the almost 50 million overseas Chinese populations at present, acknowledging this subject contributes to not only the Chinese education for the children of the overseas Chinese but also the foreigners’ Chinese acquisition. The ultimate purpose of the language education should return to the culture, which is inseparable from the language. Both the Chinese descendents or foreigners understanding the Chinese culture and the Chinese culture as derived from the merge between the Chinese society and the local nationals and cultures through alternation of generations should be the primarily concerned dimension by hard-working students. This article uses literature analysis to analyze Taiwan’s teaching of "The Chinese Society and Culture" and contrasts the study of The Compilation of the Course Outline at Departments/Graduate Schools of the Chinese language Teaching, as developed by more than 30 Chinese teachers from National Taiwan Normal University, with the Chinese Language Teaching Proficiency Certificate examination, followed by putting forward suggestions. It is expected that this article would give some advice on the curriculum outline and design of "The Chinese Society and Culture" in today’s Taiwan and increase the attention from more professionals in the same realm.
