Abstract
提 要
本文以美国某一大学中文项目的发展为例, 从三个方面探讨了近三十年来北美中文教学的状况: (1) 机遇中的发展, (2) 面临的挑战, (3) 应对策略。这三十年我们经历了之前生源的空前高涨, 以及近期由于国际形势变化特别是全球疫情的出现影响到中文课注册人数、尤其是中文主修人数的锐减。面对机遇和挑战, 本文在给休斯顿大学的中文研究项目定向定位的同时, 结合近年来对北美中文教育发展的调查、对学习动机学习目的的系列研究, 总结了应对策略。建立在研究结果和学生反思与评价的基础上, 本文针对课程设计、教学要求, 以及如何服务多元背景不同学习动机的学生等方面, 提出建立高质量严要求的中文项目。教师需要营造一个从自己学生的需求特点出发、教学互动性强的课堂氛围, 以帮助学生获得所学内容的实用感与正面的学习体验。这是学生继续修中文课的前提。
