Abstract: Based on literature review and interview investigation, this paper firstly investigates two aspects: the influence of Chinese popular culture and the difficulty of paying attention to Chinese popular culture. It is found that the influence of popular culture on American Chinese learners is reflected in social culture and Chinese learning. The difficulties of paying attention to Chinese popular culture are reflected in language learning, access channels, social environment and differences between Chinese and American cultures. Then, it analyzes the strategies of Chinese pop culture teaching for Chinese learners in the United States: Chinese communities in the United States actively promote the integration of Chinese pop culture elements into American society; Chinese cultural promotion organizations pay more attention to and support Chinese pop culture; Chinese educational institutions attach importance to resource construction and curriculum setting, and Chinese teachers implement popular culture teaching in classroom teaching. Chinese popular culture is a very important way of understanding Chinese culture and language for overseas Chinese learners. This paper, by investigating four Sino-US cultural-education platforms, aims to explore the channels and the influences of Chinese popular culture and the difficulties of accessing Chinese popular culture, and then gives some suggestions on Chinese popular culture teaching for American learners.
