The Language Link Project - German as a communication medium between language learners from Taiwan and Japan
摘要
In 2015, the German Departments of the Chinese Culture University in Taipei and of Nanzan University in Nagoya (Japan) established the Language Link Project, an internet based teleconferencing project where Taiwanese and Japanese groups of German language learners (medium to advanced level) meet regularly online in a variety of communicative situations, from informal talks to structured discussions. This project disengages the students from the customary language learning framework with its inherent imbalances between student and teacher or language learner and native speaker. It creates a communicative environment which takes the participants beyond the intrinsic focus on the German speaking countries that habitually marks most German language learning settings, and aims at strengthening learners' autonomy in the sense of a ＂learning process of reflection, interaction, and experimentation＂.

本計畫係由位於台灣台北市的中國文化大學與日本名古屋市的南山（Nanzan）大學在2015年，由雙方的德國語文學系共同籌劃執行，該計畫係以現今已相當普及的網路視訊媒體為其基礎。參與本計畫的學習者，德語能力介於中級至高級程度，他們定期性地以網路視訊會議方式進行廣泛地交談與對話，從無主題式的閒談，到針對雙方共同選定主題，進行討論。本計畫將雙方大學之德語系學生的德語學習方式，從一般語言習得得框架，從一種存在於師生或台生與外師之間不固有不平衡之關係中抽離出來。此種以網路媒體作為基礎，以完全沉浸於德語的溝通模式，即德語成為學習者之間唯一溝通媒介的學習方式。如此不但為參與其間的語言學習者創造出一種有別於傳統德語教學，即較偏重於德語系國家系統思考作法之學習氛圍，或許更能加強語言學習者在語言學習的過程中，對於相關學習內容之思辨、互動應用與練習的自覺性。
