are an important form of Chinese-language study by foreign
students in China. Since 1986, China Radio International
has successively offered Chinese-language teaching in
its broadcast programs in  Thai,
Persian, Laotian, Korean, Russian, Italian, German and

of foreign missions and organizations in China as well

of textbooks for Chinese-language teaching are available.
