This paper employs a literature analysis approach to explore the status of teaching strategies for Chinese listening and speaking courses in the context of Chinese as a foreign language education. This article reviews the challenges in teaching Chinese listening and speaking. This review found that the challenges include limitations of traditional teaching methods; monotonous teaching approaches: separation of listening and speaking skills; insufficient understanding of students’ needs; limited assessment methods; insufficient teaching experience; limited research in teaching Chinese listening and speaking; limited class time for listening and speaking; inadequate classroom management for listening and speaking classes; challenges in listening and speaking proficiency; uneven mastery levels in listening and speaking; loss of motivation due to mechanical training; weak communication skills; significant individual differences among international students; challenges in developing language awareness; monotonous and outdated teaching materials and ineffective integration of culture. The literature recommends a comprehensive approach to teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL), incorporating cultural elements, diverse teaching methods, technology use, feedback provision, and continual teacher skill enhancement to address challenges and improve the effectiveness of Chinese language instruction.
