This study examines the concept of linguistic diversity in Chinese-speaking regions, discusses how various accents affect the acquisition of Chinese as a second language (CSL) with a focus on listening comprehension, and recommends that students be exposed to non-standard Mandarin accents in the CSL classroom. This study especially highlights CSL speakers' perspectives on this issue by conducting questionnaires and interviews, which are largely missing in existing research. In addition, three types of pedagogical strategies are proposed to promote exposure to accented Mandarin in the CSL classroom, including the cultivation of teachers' awareness, curricula design, and authentic teaching materials.
本文从语言多样性这一概念出发,讨论地方口音对中文作为第二语言听力理解的影响以及在中文课堂适当提供不同口音输入的必要性。问卷调查及访谈结果表明,在中文课堂中呈现不同口音受到学习者的支持,尤其符合华裔学生在身份认同方面的需求。最后,本文从提高中文教师的语言多样性意识、利用真实语料呈现不同口音,以及课程设计等方面提出了教学建议。
