本研究即針對中醫華語教材的設計進行探討。首先設定中醫華語教材有其存在的必要性,並且試著從理論與實際兩大方向中發展出合理的研究結果。
關於理論的部分,則於第二章中探討文化教學,教材編寫與課程設計方面的理論,綜合相通之處,試著歸納出設計要素,並運用於中醫華語教材編寫上。
關於實際現況的部分,除了分析目前現有的中醫華語教材與中醫華語課程以外,研究者也親自訪談與觀察目前正在學習中醫的外籍學生,試著找出學習狀況、需求與困難點等,進而探討他們所需要的中醫華語教材特點為何。
在進行理論與實際的綜合分析比較之後,第四章即為研究者發展出的研究結果-中醫華語教材編寫之原則,並加以細目說明在設計中醫華語教材的過程中,可能需要考量的因素。最後,於第五章以模擬的方式檢視研究結果的可行性,實際設計一個課文單元範例。
The ultimate goal of this thesis is designing a second language textbook for Chinese Medicine. The research methods make use of the “Development Research Method” and “Quality Development Research Method.” After showing second language textbooks for Chinese medicine are needed, I will try to derive a reasonable conclusion based on theory and practical parts.
For the theory part, in chapter two, I will review literatures in three fields: culture teaching, the design of language courses, and the design of language textbooks. Their common characteristics will be considered as the principles while designing the textbook.
For the practical parts, chapter three, is divided in four parts: reviewing language textbooks and language course of teaching Chinese medicine, interviewing and observing the learners who are learning Chinese medicine. The learners’ needs and troubles in learning Chinese medicine will be used as the foundation of the teaching goals in the textbook.
After a comparative analysis of the theory and practical parts is made in chapter four, I will show the research results with detailed explanation on the design process of the textbook in chapter five.
