對初中級會話課導入異語言話者接觸活動之試案－以非對面式之話題選澤特色為主

A Study on Incorporating Conversation Exercises Involving Interactions between Language Learners and Native Speakers into Japanese Conversation Courses: Exploring the Characteristics of Topic Selection in a Non-Face-to-Face Conversation

在全球化及IT化的時代，日語學習者於日常生活中接觸日語的管道和筆者學習日語的時代相比其機會增多，但在普通的日常生活中，學習者想要直接和日語母語話者進行面對面溝通的機會依然不多。因此，筆者作為一位教師常思索著，該如何於自己的課堂活動中增加學習者和日語母語話者的接觸場面，並讓學習者可以透過和母語話者交談的過程中，去體驗到溝通的樂趣並提升自己的日語運用能力。因此，此論文中主要是以探討（1）於網路等虛擬空間裏，不同語言背景的人會以什麼話題做為溝通的橋樑；（2）探討從學習者的立場來看此會話活動的設計對學習上帶來何種影響。結果顯示：在話題的選擇部份，依照出現次數排列的話，其結果如下：「所在地（18回）」「開始：作業（13回）」「結束（13回）」「趣味（11回）」「姓名（8回）」「天氣（同7回）」「身分．職業」（6回）「共同經驗（6回）」等。其中轉換話題的主導權大多由台灣日語學習者做掌控，推測其原因發現有可能是學生意識到此一溝通場面為課外作業之因素，故無意識中掌控整個溝通過程之進行。另外，學習者對此活動的目的都給予肯定的意見，但也反應出在整個溝通的過程中覺得「話題的提供」及「話題的持續」較為困難。今後的課題則是如何將學習者的意見及結果修正反應到教學現場，是值得筆者深思的。

In this era, learners of the Japanese language have more exposure to the language. However, still lack opportunities to interact with native speakers in everyday life. The author has spent much time reflecting on how to facilitate more interaction between learners and native speakers. This thesis sets out to explore 1) the topic with which people with different linguistic backgrounds initiate their communication in the cyberspace; and 2) the extent to which conversation exercises influence learners' language learning experience. This paper finds that the following topics are each selected a number of times: ”current location (18),” ”begin: homework (13),” ”end (13),” ”interest (11),” ”name (8),” ”weather (7),” ”identity and occupation (6),” ”shared experience (6),” among others. Language learners expressed their approval of the goal of these exercises. However, learners find it difficult to ”provide a topic” and to ”keep a conversation going on a certain topic.” In the future, the author will work on how best to incorporate the opinions of these language learners into teaching practice.
