法律華語學習者需求分析

Needs Analysis: Teaching Legal Chinese

「法律華語」為「專門用途華語」（Chinese for Specific Purposes）的分支學科之一，其專業性主要乃就其特定、專門的教學目的而言，而教學目的取決於學習者的學習需求。因此，「需求分析」（Needs Analysis）乃是專門用途華語教學的前提與基礎。本文基於專門用途語言之需求分析理論，針對在臺修習法律華語課程的外籍大學生設計問卷、進行調查，並對調查結果進行分析與探討。分析結果顯示：法律華語教學應針對外籍生在華生活與工作的需求，設計具有「實用性」的法律主題，同時結合「第二文化教學」，引導外籍生進行多元文化的比較與探討，從而提升學生的課程參與度及學習興趣，並促進法律華語教學的國際化。

Legal Chinese is centered around the teaching of Chinese for Specific Purposes (CSP), with a goal of meeting the specific needs of the involved learners. Therefore, CSP courses must be based on an analysis of these needs. This article examines the theory of needs analysis, and applies it to the field of teaching Chinese for legal purposes. Data used in this study were gathered from international students at the college level who took the course of Legal Chinese in Taiwan. An in-depth analysis clearly shows that learners are most concerned about gaining practical legal knowledge in order for them to comfortably live and work in Taiwan. Moreover, learners also show great interest in the culture that fosters the practice of law, which suggests the significance of cultural aspects regarding the teaching of Legal Chinese.
