Podcast（播客）行動影音學習平臺四大模組在華語教學上之創新應用與探討

Innovative Applications and Exploration of the Four Major Modules on the Podcast Mobile Audio-visual Learning Platform for Chinese Language Instruction

2005年底，蘋果電腦宣布在iTunes線上音樂商店加入Podcast下載的服務，並在iPod的播放清單中直接加入Podcast的選項，於是Podcast與廣大的iPod使用者連結，逐漸興起Podcast新風潮，甚至被評估為「部落格之後下一波網路個人風潮」。目前的Podcast，以其強大的Web2.0傳播功能，並可將學習資源同步到iPod、iPhone、iPad等行動載具，在語言學習方面大大地發揮了Learning2.0成效，如以英語為第二語言的ESL Podcast，以法語學習的podcastfrancaisfacile，以及日語學習的Japanesepod101。文藻外語學院應用華語文系於2008年首創臺灣華語學習Podcast系統，2010年10月，進一步將既有的Podcast系統導入雲端技術及最新的Web2.0應用，發展為行動數位影音學習平臺四大模組：EPub（Electronic Publication）電子書、影音部落格、Podcast訂閱、QR-Code（二維條碼）。本文主旨即在於闡釋及展示文藻外語大學應用華語文系暨華語文教學研究所，如何應用前述創新之Podcast之四大模組功能，設計並製作系列臺灣文化華語學習課程，並進而探討其意義與成效。已發行的頻道包括華語電子書、高雄城市文化華語學習影音課程、臺灣小吃影音課程、華語教學名人演講系列等，其中臺灣小吃頻道更於2010年榮獲iTunes store語言學習類排行榜第六名。這些學習內容導入Podcast行動數位影音學習平臺四大模組之後，可串連當前所有網路學習之管道，達到所謂整合式學習之莫大效益。更重要的是，藉由Podcast系統的創新擴建，讓臺灣豐富的文化內涵透過Web2.0華語數位學習更能邁向全球化，華語文學習得以包涵「語言」、「文化」、「全球化」三要素。

In late 2005, Apple announced that it would add the service for Podcast downloads in its iTunes online music store, and directly adding the selection for Podcast in the playlist for iPod. Thus, Podcasts were connected to the numerous iPod users, leading to a rise in Podcasts. Currently, Podcasts can synchronize learning resources on mobile devices such as iPod, iPhone, and iPad, significantly realizing the effect of Learning2.0, such as the ESL Podcast for English as a second language, podcastfrancaisfacile for learning French, and Japanesepod101 for learning Japanese. In 2008, Department of Applied Chinese of Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages was the first to create a Podcast system for learning Chinese in Taiwan. In October 2010, it further integrated the existing Podcast system into cloud computing technology and latest Web2.0 applications, in order to develop the four modules for the mobile audio-visual learning platform: EPub (Electronic Publication) e-books, audio-visual blogs, Podcast subscriptions, QR-Code (two-dimensional codes). The purpose of this paper is to explicate and demonstrate how the Department of Applied Chinese and Graduate Institute of Teaching Chinese as a Second Language have applied these innovative four modules and functions of Podcasts to design and produce a series of Chinese language learning courses based on Taiwanese culture, in turn exploring its significance and effects. The published channels include Chinese language e-books, Kaohsiung City cultural Chinese learning audio-visual classes, Taiwanese small eats audio-visual courses, and lecture series of Chinese language celebrity instructors. Among these, the Taiwanese small eats audio-visual courses won the sixth place in the language learning category of the iTunes store in 2010. After the learning content incorporates the four modules for the Podcast mobile audio-visual learning platform, they can connect all the channels for online learning that currently exist, leading to the major effects of integrated learning. More importantly, innovation and expansion of the Podcast system enables Taiwan's rich cultural content to become globalized, and Chinese language learning can include the three elements of ''language,'' ''culture,'' and ''globalization.''
