在台灣以日語為傳承語言教育團體的現況與課題

Current situation and problem of teaching Japanese as a Heritage Language in Taiwan

以日語為傳承語言的教學活動目前在台北、桃園、新竹、台中、台南、高雄等6個城市展開。其特色為非營利團體、以日語授課、使用日本小學國中的「國語」課本、全部家長需要參與學校的營運從團體學習中，小孩和家長都會得到「夥伴關係」「收集／交換資訊」等收穫，但另一方面「家長對於活動付出太多造成負擔」成為長期以來的最大課題。本文透過參與該團體的家長們為對象的問卷調查與筆者對該團體所進行的參與觀察，把握其「負擔」本質，並探討由家長自力營運傳承語言教學活動的意義做為研究目的。依調查結果得知，家長們「負擔」當中很多項目為這樣營運方式的團體不得不擔任的工作內容，也可以說無法避開的。但不可忽略的是，有不少項目是家長之間的溝通不周全，或對於學習內容過於豐富等心理上的因素所帶來的負擔。為減少家長們所感到的負擔，可以舉辦實際的交流會或研習會，透過實際場面的交流打造跨班級、跨團體溝通的環境。且以研究者的立場來說，需要提供最新傳承語言教學的動向給家長們，以利後續營運順利。

In Taiwan, there are seven self-conduct groups which teach Japanese as a heritage language (JHL) managed by school children's own parents are in six cities. Through learning in groups, besides improving Japanese proficiency, both children and parent can get a lot, but on the other hand “working for JHL group is too hard” has been one of the biggest issues for a long time period. In this paper, is aimed to clarify what make parents feel hard by conducting questionnaire survey and participant observation, and study the of those JHL groups to children and parent. Result shows that most of the works they involved is requisite as long as it is a self-conduct. But what worth considering is that some are due to lacking of communications or excessive expectations by parent for JHL learning Face-to-face communication and information on current JHL education is needed to lighten their working load.
