美國“AP漢語與文化”課程及考試設計的 “文化”考量

Culture in Curriculum and Exam Design in AP Chinese Language and Culture Course

漢語作為第二語言教學從單純的語言技能教學到“語言技能+文化”是一個發展，大陸“對外漢語教學”界目前基本秉承這一思路。美國大學理事會新近開設的“AP中文”課程及考試設計以美國《21世紀外語學習標準》為其基本指導思想，把對語言教學中的“文化”問題的重視提高到一個前所未有的高度，對我們頗有啟發。

It is a development that “language skills + culture” has replaced pure language skills teaching in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language (TCSL), which is at present the mainstream of TCSL in the Mainland. With Standards for Foreign Language Learn-ing in the 21st Century as the guiding principle of curriculum and exam design, AP Chi-nese Language and Culture Course recently promoted by the College Board, USA has put the culture issue to the level higher than ever before, which has given us enlighten-ment in our research.
