以播客做為泰籍華語學習者的華語習得工具
Using Podcast as a Language Acquisition Tool for Thai Learners of Chinese
摘要
「播客」，一項改變語言教育與學習的新興科技，自蘋果公司發展iTunes以後被廣泛應用在教育層面，尤其是語言學習。《華語之聲》中文播客網站利用「播客」的概念，為泰籍華語學習者製作初級的播客節目。從「第二語言習得」理論的回顧可以得知，「播客」的學習功能包含了「輸入假說」、「密集收聽」等理論基礎，從這些基礎發展《華語之聲》中文播客網站，搭配其他輔助教材，讓泰籍華語學習者可以用「聽」的方式學習華語。 本研究透過製作播客網站建立學生語言學習和習得的過程，以《華語之聲》(Voice of Chinese, http://voiceofchinese.blogspot.tw/)為平台，錄製十課的華語播客節目，錄製「真實語料」，讓泰籍華語學習者進行為期四至六週的華語學習。經過一段時間後，學習者填寫線上問卷，透過問卷分析學習者的使用情況與使用播客網站的學習心得。研究採取「問卷調查法」及「內容分析法」，以問卷調查的形式了解學習者使用《華語之聲》的狀況與蒐集意見回饋，內容分析則是以斷詞系統分析《華語之聲》課程內容與學習指引為主，檢視播客採用「真實語料」對於傳統詞彙教學分級帶來的挑戰與影響。 根據問卷填答結果來看，大多數學習者肯定《華語之聲》的學習模式，普遍認為透過「播客」的「聽」學習華語是最容易的，而網站額外提供的輔助教材，像是中文與漢語拼音的逐字稿、多媒體的學習指引，透過這些「可理解的輸入」協助學習者增加理解力。最後，大部份學習者希望《華語之聲》可以持續製作新節目，而研究者也會考慮製作其他語言版本的播客節目，讓更多學習者透過「播客」學習華語。

“Podcast”, a new methodology that combines technology and language education has been applied widely since Apple Inc. developed “iTunes”. Based on theories of “second language acquisition” and “narrow listening”, the researcher established “Voice of Chinese: Chinese Learning for Thai Students” (VOC, http://voiceofchinese.blogspot.tw/) as a platform for Thai students to learn Chinese.This website let users download podcasts to their mobile devices or i-Products, and listen to podcasts. Through listening to podcasts of language learning, Thai learners can create a virtual second lanugage learnin environment. After the researcher uploaded all 10 lessons to the website, learners started to listen to podcasts. All 10 lessons are directly recorded in Chinese, and the contents of lessons set to be “authentic materials”. What’s more, podcasters provided extra assistance based on “comprehensible input” like transcipts and learning guides to help learners comprehend better. After 4 to 6 weeks, the researcher asked them to fill out a questionnaire online, to see how podcasts helped them learn Chinese. According to the results of the questionnaire, learners gave positive responses to “Voice of Chinese”(VOC). They think learning mode of VOC help them a lot, because they learn Chinese with the easiest way: “listening”. Meanwhile, the website provides extra assistance for learners to achieve understanding without Chinese translation. It shows that podcast can indeed be an effective learning tool for second language learners. Based on the results, VOC website will carry on making new podcasts through different language versions, and invite more learners to learn Chinese with “Voice of Chinese”.
