Abstract

With the deepening of Sino-African cooperation, international promotion of Chinese language has gradually become an important issue in Cameroon's higher education system. This article takes the construction of Chinese major in Cameroonian colleges and universities as the starting point, and combines empirical data and case analysis to systematically explore the current situation, challenges, and optimization paths of cultural teaching. Research has found that Cameroonian colleges and universities have initially established a cultural teaching system through cooperation with the Confucius Institute at the Second University of Yaoundé, localized curriculum design, and experiential cultural activities; However, issues such as teacher shortage, imbalanced curriculum design, and lack of resources still constrain its development. This article suggests strategies such as strengthening local teacher training, optimizing curriculum structure, and innovating cultural dissemination forms to enhance cultural teaching effectiveness and provide the "Cameroon experience" for Chinese language education in Africa.
