國際化下美國的華語文教學─我學我教我思

Teaching Chinese Language and Culture in the U.S. under the Internationalized Setting: Reflections on My Teaching Experience

在這個國際化的世代裡，語言能力代表著重要的競爭能力。華語隨著中國大陸的經濟起飛，無疑地已經成為英語以外一個重要的國際語言。台灣是使用華語與保存傳統中華文化最為完善的地方。為了在國際化的潮流中佔有一席之地，我們應當如何善用台灣的語言、文化的優勢，是值得我們努力開發的方向。身為一位語言教學者，在本文中，筆者將就自身的華語文教學經歷、美國華語文學習熱潮之促成因素、華語文教師的專業素養與應聘資格、專業素養之深化與教學技巧之嫻熟等方面，與在台灣從事華語文教學的教師、從事華語文師資培訓的機構，以及有志到美國教授華語文的先進同好交流分享。

In an internationalized generation， one’s language ability represents one’s ability to compete significantly. Chinese， along with China’s economic take-off， has undoubtedly become an important international language besides English. Taiwan is where Chinese is used dominantly， and where traditional Chinese culture is best preserved. In order to win a place in the trend of internationalization， how we should take advantage of Taiwan’s language and culture is worth our effort and exploration. As a language teacher， the author would like to exchange and share with those who are current Chinese language and culture teachers in Taiwan， those who run teacher-training courses， and those who would consider teaching Chinese language and culture as a career in the U.S. the following four aspects: the author’s experience in teaching Chinese language and culture， the factors which bring about the Chinese learning fever， the professionalism and qualifications of Chinese language and culture teachers， and the perfection of professionalism and familiarization of teaching techniques.
