Teaching Chinese as a second language through video

Abstract

在科技发展的引导下，现今不少学校或者教育机构都提倡把多媒体引入课堂，而视像教学也在多媒体教学的范畴当中。目前对于多媒体应用于课堂的问题研究已有不少，但是多集中在需要图解分析的科目范畴，在语言教学研究方面相对较少，而在第二语言教学领域中又以英文作为第二语言教学的课题研究占多数。本研究旨在探讨在中文作为第二语言教学中，视像教学否能够有助于学生提高学习成效，同时又能达到活跃课堂，提高学习动机的目的。本研究通过借鉴已有的关于多媒体应用于教学或语言习得方面的相关文献，结合笔者所在实习学校的实验，透过课堂数据收集、对比分析法、问卷法、访谈法、观课等方法对课题进行分析论证，从而得出以下结论：1.学生在不同学习能力要求下的学习成效不一致，记忆型题目比能力型题目的学习成效要好，而两者与学生的先备知识相关性均不显著；2.视像教学中记忆型题目比非视像教学的记忆型题目成效要差，而两者在能力型题目中的成效差异不显著；3.视像教学能够有效提高学生的学习动机及课堂的集中度。

Under the guidance of scientific development, many schools and education institutions are currently encouraging the introduction of multimedia into the classrooms, with video teaching as one of the methods under multimedia teaching.
