The burgeoning tourism industry around the globe has aroused the need for language teaching resources focusing on travel. Teaching materials on travel Chinese, in particular, are in great demand. However, few studies have dealt with the issue of travel Chinese. The current study employed an innovative “Web as Corpus” method to build a Web Travel Chinese Corpus (WTCC). Based on WTCC, we developed a wordlist, which consists of 511 most high frequency words. The WTCC wordlist can be used as a useful reference when compiling Chinese teaching materials. To enhance the authenticity and richness of the existing teaching materials, the vocabulary items from two travel Chinese textbooks Oh! My Guide! 吃喝玩樂學華語 (Eat, Travel, and Learn Chinese in Taiwan) and Go Traveling were compared with the WTCC wordlist. The comparison reveals that the WTCC wordlist and the wordlist extracted from two travel Chinese textbooks have different focuses. Each of them has its strengths and weaknesses. It is clear that WTCC wordlist can be used to supplement the existing travel Chinese teaching materials. (本文於2020.03重新修訂) |
