Abstract: Practical courses on the Chinese language are guided by the theory of "learning by doing" which takes the Chinese cultural
experience as the theme, the task-based teaching method as the basic teaching method, the use of language and cultural perception as
the main purpose of teaching, and the completion of the comprehended input and the comprehensible output in communication as an
outcome. According to the different practical themes, the practical courses could be divided into the courses on Chinese traditional
culture, the courses on Chinese history culture, the courses on Chinese contemporary situation, and the course on Chinese landscape
scenery. The tasks of the practical courses are divided into four types: communicative tasks, cultural experiential tasks, knowledgecompetitive
tasks and comprehensive tasks. Each type of the tasks can be evaluated by the micro-evaluation.

Key words: task, practical course for Chinese, cultural experience, evaluation
