新冠疫情下香港非华语初小学生中文读写之教学效能

自2019年底新冠疫情爆发以来，香港中小学多次停课，致使2020－21学年上、下两学期学生回校上课总时长不够100天。2021－22学年上学期，疫情略缓和，香港教育局宣布采用半天面授的混合教学模式。为确保学生的学习成效得到保证，各学校根据教育局“停课不停学”的指引，以灵活多样的教学方式组织网上教学，支援学生在家学习。网上授课打破了传统的师生面对面学习的模式，因而引发了教育界对其教学质量的关注。本文主要采用定性的研究方法（qualitative approach），以两所小学的非华语初小学生为研究对象，在疫情期间线下及网上混合授课形式下，对学生的期末总结性评估进行了调查和分析，以了解疫情期间非华语学生的中文学习现状。研究发现，非华语学生在识字、词汇、语法方面表现较差，组句能力偏弱，提取文本重要信息的能力也不够。由于缺乏家庭对线上教学的支持，以及疫情导致的突发性，致使非华语学生网上授课的成效受到一定程度的影响，而其中识字教学首当其冲。

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, schools in Hong Kong have for several times suspended in-person classes. Consequently, local pupils experienced fewer than 100 days of in-person teaching and learning in the 2020/21 school year. In response to the gradual easing of the pandemic restrictions, the Hong Kong Education Bureau has announced that schools should resume half-day face-to-face classes for the first semester of the 2021/22 academic year. To meet students' educational needs during the pandemic, schools followed the "suspending classes without suspending learning" guideline and adopted diverse teaching methods to offer online learning opportunities to students studying at home. However, as online learning in the school setting is relatively new, educators have raised concerns about its effectiveness. This paper employs primarily a qualitative approach to examine the effectiveness of Chinese learning for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) junior primary students in Hong Kong during the pandemic, by analysing the summative assessments of NCS children from two primary schools that used a hybrid teaching method to combine face-to-face classes and online learning. This research has found that the NCS students' inability to read Chinese characters or to understand Chinese vocabulary is the major hindrance for these students to develop a good grasp of the language. It further reveals that, as e-learning resources for Hong Kong primary school students are still relatively scarce, the effectiveness of online Chinese learning for NCS children has been adversely affected during the pandemic, with the learning of Chinese characters impacted most negatively.
