應用資訊科技於少數族裔中學生之華文作為第二外國語文課程的初探研究

鑒於香港的少數族裔學生未能適應主流學校的華文課程，對書寫及辨認漢字，尤感困難，本研究根據青少年的心智發展，設計了一套應用資訊科技、生活化取向的華文課程，並配合採用「中文字母教學法」教識字及寫字，冀能引起學生學習華文的興趣，提升學習成效。本研究以南亞裔中學生為對象，採用現場觀課、教師訪談、學生訪談和供學生填寫的前後測問卷作為研究工具，探討本課程的成效。研究發現本課程能夠提升南亞裔學生學習中文的興趣，學生學習了中文字母教學法後，在書寫漢字及掌握文字結體方面均見改善。然而在落實教學理念和課堂管理等方面，本課程仍有不少困難待解決。
In view of the fact that ethnic minority students in Hong Kong cannot yet adapt to Chinese courses in mainstream schools, particularly encountering difficulties in writing and recognizing Chinese characters, this research, based on adolescents' cognitive development, designs and IT supported, life-experience Chinese course. This course adopts the ”Chinese alphabet teaching method” in teaching writing and recognizing Chinese characters, with an aim to making Chinese learning more interesting and effective. The subjects of this study are secondary students of South Asian descent. Class observations, teachers and student interviews, as well as pre-test and posttest questionnaires for students were conducted in this research to explore the effectiveness of the course. Results show that these students became more interested in learning Chinese after this course, and showed improvement in their Chinese writing and recognition of Chinese character structures. However, in terms of implementation of teaching philosophy and classroom management, some problems still remain to be solved. Copyright © 2012 台灣教育傳播暨科技學會.
