導入自文化於日語學習中之初探 ―透過「觀光日語」的實踐活動―
<p>本論文是探討台灣中部某所大學開設之「觀光日語」課程改革的實踐報告。本課程的課程設計理念是,學習者可以透過此門課程培養自身理解台灣和日本之間存在的社會和文化的差異。具體而言,於課程中導入台灣在地的題材,讓學習者完成各個在地題材為主題的課題。</p> <p>課程的實踐成果以問卷調查和口頭表現測驗進行評估。問卷調查的問題以 異文化理解為主軸設計的內容,各個問題滿分 5 分的問卷調查以記述統計的統計方式進行統計,其結果為「4.1」以上的平均點,由此得知學習者對於異文化有高度的理解。亦由此結果得知,本實踐活動達成課程目標之一的「培養異文化的學習能力和教養」。</p> <p>其次,由口頭表現測驗的結果得知,有學習者履修此門課程後,其單字的發音變得正確,其口頭表現使用的語彙和句型數量有所增加,語彙和句型的使用亦比修課前呈現更多元的變化。此結果亦達成課程的另一個課程目標「口頭能力表現的進步」。今後將持續進行導入台灣的自文化和在地題材為主題的課程改革。</p> <p> </p><p>This paper discusses the evaluation and revision of a "Travel Japanese" course taught in a university in central Taiwan. The course was designed to develop learners’ capability to understand the cultural and social differences between Taiwan and Japan. In particular, the course incorporates local Taiwanese themes for topics as learners complete lesson tasks.</p> <p>The course results were measured through post-class questionnaires, which surveyed understanding about different cultures on a five-point scale, and oral performance tests. The results of the questionnaires showed average of 4.1 points, indicating a high degree of understanding about other cultures. Therefore, the course can be thought to have accomplished the goal of "cultivating learning and understanding of different cultures." </p> <p>In addition, the test results for the oral performance tests indicated that through the course learners improved in pronunciation and increased both their vocabulary and the diversity of the sentence patterns they used. Thus, results indicated that the second course goal of "improving oral performance" was also met. The author will continue to implement the self-culture approach and local elements of Taiwan into the course.</p> <p> </p>
