ABSTRACT: With the deepening cooperation between China and Francophone countries in economic, cultural, and educational fields, French has become increasingly prominent as an important second foreign language in Chinese higher education. Based on an investigation and analysis of the current situation of French language teaching in Chinese universities, this paper explores the strengths and weaknesses of the current French education system and proposes feasible suggestions for future reform directions. The study finds that although Chinese French education has made significant progress in curriculum design, faculty development, and other aspects, it still faces challenges such as a lack of teaching method diversity, weak actual language proficiency among students, and inadequate cross-cultural education. To address these issues, this paper proposes a series of countermeasures, including strengthening language practice, innovating teaching modes, and promoting cross-cultural training for teachers, to drive the sustainable development of French language education in Chinese universities.
