編寫美國AP中文教材的思考與實踐

Some Reflection and Practice After Compiling the Americans-based Chinese Teaching Material AP

本文是在編寫完AP中文教材之後撰寫的，文章總結了美國漢語教學、特別是AP中文課程的特點，深入分析了美國現階段推行的《21世紀外語學習標準》和任務型教學理念，指出了在教學理念、教學方法以及課程設置、課程內容等各方面，美國中學的漢語教學與中國大陸針對留學生的漢語教學之間所存在的巨大差異，提出只有重視這些差異，並真正明瞭美國漢語教學的理念與實際，才有可能編寫出適用於美國課堂的、有價值的教材。文章還介紹了一些在教材編寫過程中的具體做法，顯現我們用理論指導實踐的編寫原則。

Based on what has been done during our compilation of the Americans-based Chi-nese Teaching Material AP, this paper summarizes the features in American Chinese language teaching, particularly those concerning the Chinese course AP and offers a profound analysis for The 21th Century Foreign Language Learning Criteria and its relevant task-based teaching conception, which are being pushed forward in the U.S.. We’ve noted that some significant differences between the Chinese teaching in the U.S. high school and the foreign students-oriented Chinese teaching in China occur in many aspects like teaching conception, teaching methods, curriculum setup and curriculum content. Only if importance is attached to the differences and the U.S. Chinese teach-ing’s conception and practice are really understood can we compile the useful teaching materials which fit well with the Americans. In addition, this article introduces some details during the compiling to illustrate the principles we abide by in the project.
