LOPEZ DOMINGUEZ, Abelardo  and  WEI, Zhou. Confucian Philosophy and Confucianism in the Face of the Communicative Approach of Spanish in Chinese Universities. Rev. Cubana Edu. Superior [online]. 2021, vol.40, n.1  Epub Apr 01, 2021. ISSN 0257-4314.

The teaching and learning of foreign languages in China do not escape the influences of the traditional Confucianist system. To study this phenomenon, it is necessary to distinguish between Confucian philosophy and Confucianism in order to identify the cultural substrate that prevents the teaching system from adopting an open attitude to the communicative approach. This article shows the originality of Confucian philosophy and the keys that lead to the reinterpretation of certain limitations and induce the exploration of cultural aspects that do not conflict with the foundations of communicative teaching. The objective is to analyze the primordial elements of Confucian philosophy, its deviations and the guidelines of a communicative teaching established in the higher courses for the teaching of Spanish in the Republic of China.

Keywords : China; Confucius; foreign languages.
