Abstract—The Chinese language program is widely implemented in China and holds a crucial position in the country’s education system as the official language. With an increasing number of students opting to attend international schools and selecting the A-level Chinese curriculum, this dissertation conducts a comparative study to identify the disparities between the two curriculums. This research aids students in comprehending the strengths and weaknesses of both programs, allowing them to make more suitable choices. It also facilitates a deeper understanding of the curriculum, helping students to better adapt to the A-level curriculum. Furthermore, the findings of this study benefit teachers by providing insights into the advantages and limitations of different curriculum systems, serving as a reference for further enhancement and optimization of the curriculum.
