Abstract	This paper investigates optimal practices for teaching Chinese as a foreign language, situated within the context of adult learning theories, with a specific focus on adopting Vygotsky's sociocultural perspective. The examination delves into the theory of genre and its role in constructing meaning within cultural and social contexts, exploring its impact on language acquisition. The paper underscores the pivotal role of learner-centered teaching and the potential efficacy of genre-based pedagogy in enhancing the Chinese language learning experience for adult learners, particularly those with limited linguistic and cultural backgrounds in a foreign language. Through this exploration, a contribution is made to the understanding of effective teaching strategies tailored to this distinct group of language learners.
