ABSTRACT

Amid globalization and the international dissemination of Chinese culture, Chinese traditional arts curricula for international students in Guangxi higher education institutions face systemic challenges, including insufficient faculty specialization, imbalanced regional resource allocation, fragmented curriculum structures, and superficial cultural identity cultivation. To address these issues, this study proposes a reform framework centered on a "dual-track" faculty system, where collaborative teaching between intangible cultural heritage inheritors and professional educators bridges gaps in technical expertise and intercultural communication competencies. The curriculum is redesigned into a "three-phase, four-dimensional" system, integrating tiered pedagogical designs with technology-enhanced learning (e.g., AR/VR applications) to align with ASEAN regional industrial demands. Concurrently, localized teaching resources are synergized with international practice platforms, fostering a tripartite reform model of "curriculum-resource-practice" integration. This research aims to elevate Chinese traditional arts education from cultural experience to value-based identity formation through faculty optimization, curriculum innovation, and evaluation mechanism refinement. Such reforms are critical to advancing the China-ASEAN cultural community by nurturing cross-cultural ambassadors equipped with both technical mastery and deep-rooted cultural understanding.
