The Performed Culture Approach (PCA, 体演文化教学法) is a paradigm-shifting pedagogical framework in the field of East Asian language pedagogy. It has its origins in the millennia-old Confucian philosophy and draws inspiration from the knowledge fields of cognitive studies, linguistic anthropology, cultural psychology, and performance studies. Through meticulously executed curricular design as well as “performances” that put learners in authentic linguistic and cultural contexts, this pedagogical approach successfully integrates language instruction and culture instruction. It aims to enable language learners to not only gain advanced linguistic skills but also develop intercultural communicative competence, successfully navigating the target culture and effectively communicating with native speakers in culturally appropriate ways.

体演文化教学法缘起于美国东亚语言教学界，在外语教学领域独树一帜，是打破现有范式的一种独特的语言教学框架。它立足于中国传统儒家“知行合一”的教育思想，融合了西方认知学、人类学、文化学与表演学的学科知识，通过身临其境的“体演”活动以及周密的课程设计，将语言教学与文化教学紧密结合，使语言学习者能不仅掌握语言技能，而且获取跨文化交际能力，有效并得体地与母语者交流。
