RESUMEN
Teaching objects included in this study were overseas students from different countries, whose main courses were western medicine, but also with Traditional Chinese Medicine as their compulsory course. In addition, their study levels were quite different. The theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, especially the five elements and yin-yang theory, is the key and difficult point of teaching. During teaching, teachers should pay attention to explain the profound meaning in simple language and use different ways to explain, which can be better accepted. Most teachers are clinicians, therefore, the measures to improve their teaching levels should be taken. Last but not least, teaching methods focusing on students and reasonable teaching tools should be adopted, so as to improve the quality of Traditional Chinese Medicine learning of overseas students.
