漢字在華語裡是重要的存在,在華語教學中也多會出現漢字,但矛盾的是一般華語教學中,很難騰出時間為學習者講解漢字、協助其記憶漢字,導致許多學習者的漢字程度跟不上華語課程的進度,影響了後續課程,更阻礙了學習者學習華語的道路。學習者「不知道怎麼學漢字」以及課程教師「沒時間教漢字」的問題長時間存在於華語教學中,本研究以解決此問題為發想,首先獨立出一個時段做為課程教師「沒時間教漢字」的解決手段,再根據學習理論結合漢字教學策略來設計出漢字教學課程。研究者在挑選策略與設計課程時,會優先從「已知」的部分為出發點來考量,可以是學習者本身的「已知」,也可以是運用策略將「新知」搭建成為學生的「已知」,希望在幫助學習者學習課文漢字的同時,也建立起學習者自學漢字的能力。
Chinese characters are an important part of Chinese language. Chinese characters teaching are often found in Chinese language classes, however, it is not easy for the Chinese teacher to spend sufficient time in Chinese classes to teach the origions of Chinese characters and help the learner to memorize Chinese characters. As a result, the learner falls behind in learning Chinese characters; some even stop taking Chinese language courses. It has become a common situation in the Chinese language classe where the learner does not know how to learn Chinese characters, while the teacher has no time to teach them. This research aims to study such situation by setting up a Chinese characters class and design the curriculum based on learning theories and Chinese character teaching strategies in teaching Chinese as a second language. It is suggested that the approach to teaching Chinese characters in Chinese language class is to start with what the learner knows, which might be based on Chinese learner’s pre-existing knowledge of the language. It could also be the new words that Chinese learner has learned through proper language teaching strategies. It is expected that the learner will develop his/her self-learning ability through Chinese characters class.
