以 「新聞日語」來養成日語學習者之 「問題發現能力」試案－報紙全版面之施行為主

An Essay on Utilizing a“Japanese in Newspapers”Course to Develop Japanese Language Learners’Ability to“Problem-Finding”:With Special Interest on Using a Whole Newspaper

在日語教育當中活用日本的報紙做為教材時，報導的選擇權通常都是由教師所主導。然而，顯而易見的是，在教師與學習者之間對於報導內容的興趣並不一致。這兩者之間的距離若可以縮減，除了能夠讓學習者接近教師所設定的教育目標，也可以再史進一步地導引出學習者對於日本，以等身大的觀點去觀察並嘗試瞭解實際的日本社會，發掘出學習者的「問題發現能力」。在本論文中，除了詳細介紹如何以NIE的概念進行「新聞日語」課程，並佐以報紙的全版面做為教材，將報導的選擇權給予學習者。日本社會中所發生的日常大小事濃縮在報紙全版面中，藉由學習者翻閱的動作，日本社會將一次展開在學習者的眼前，也因此學習者可以用更近距離的方式觀察日本。按著讓學習者針對「已知」「未知」的日本社會部分，進一步進行檢索與調查，並要求須寫成簡單的綱要，以期可讓學習者對於自己有興趣的事項，在有重述的必要性壓力下，可以以自己的力量做更進一步的瞭解。這一部分是嘗試將學習者的興趣轉化至學習意願的部分，更是藉由學習者主動探索的意顧，得以更進一步垮養發掘問題的能力。

When utilizing newspapers in Japanese language education, it is usually the teacher that chooses the article(s) to be featured. It cannot be rare, however, to happen that there is a mismatch in the interest of the both sides. Bridging the gap could not only accommodate the learners' motivation to the aim which is settled by the teacher, but also in advance, invoke their ability to problem-finding for understanding of actual Japanese society.This paper introduces in detail the way to apply the concept of NIE (Newspaper in Education) to classes in ”Japanese in newspapers”, and reports a practical case which served the learners a whole newspaper as a teaching material, putting selection of articles into their hands. This task makes them possible to do a closer look into Japan by extracting familiar events in Japanese society condensed in newspapers. Furthermore, the learners are advised to survey related information on ”(un)recognized” articles for making a brief summary. By encouraging learners to take a further step from a need in sending to a contact to interested events, the present practice invokes an ability to analyze problems, which learners ought to hold. It is a task to transform the learners' interest to their motivation to learn, and has a tie to cultivating ”an ability to find something”, that is, an ability to recognize a locus of a problem derived from an article in newspapers from their own point of view.
