This paper explores the teaching strategies and significance of disyllabic Lianmianci (联绵词) in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL). As a unique lexical phenomenon in Chinese, Lianmianci are characterized by phonetic harmony and semantic indivisibility, presenting both challenges and focal points for learners. The study first analyzes the definition, classification, and features of Lianmianci, then examines their current pedagogical status and existing problems in TCFL. Finally, targeted teaching suggestions and methods are proposed. The findings indicate that systematic instructional design and diversified practice methods can effectively enhance learners' mastery of Lianmianci, thereby improving the idiomaticity and fluency of their Chinese expression.
