使用微軟MS Teams軟體遠距法語教學與學習之省思：以大一法語閱讀習作及文法課為例

Reflections on Teaching and Learning French Online, Using Microsoft Teams Software: Freshman French Reading and Grammar as an Example

2019年末發生了百年不遇的新冠肺炎(COVID-19)，隨著疫情逐漸蔓延全球，使得我國如同世界許多國家一樣，採取封鎖方式抗疫。近年由於少子化的影響，我國大專院校境外生人數逐年增加，為使這批無法入境的學生學業不受影響、能如期畢業，學校與微軟公司合作，於108學年度第2學期開始，要求全校所有境外生修課班級的專兼任教師，皆必須使用MS Teams 軟體遠距授課。本文旨在研究探討這個我國高等教育史無前例、大規模、遍及全台各大專院校的遠距教學，學生的看法為何？文中希望了解事項包括：學生對於口語課及讀寫課使用MS Teams教學的看法、對遠距考試的看法、遠距教學學習成效不佳的可能原因，及學生個人對上課方式的偏好。研究統計顯示：即使認為這是未來趨勢，學生們仍然認為基礎法語課使用遠距教學的效果並不好，而且「口說類」課程又比「讀寫類」課程的效果更差，絕大多數的學生還是較喜歡用傳統板書上課。然而，如果同時參考學生回覆的文字意見，結論則會成為：善於使用嶄新科技並結合傳統教學法特長的語言教師不容易被輕易取代。

 

The COVID-19 epidemic has spread around the world, Taiwan is forced to lock down to contain the epidemic. In order to ensure the international students banned from entering Taiwan to complete their study and graduate as scheduled, Tamkang University has cooperated with Microsoft Corporation for online courses, since the second semester of the 2020 academic year, and requires all its faculty who have international students in their classes to use MS Teams Software to teach online. This article is to survey the efficacy of this unprecedented, large-scale, online teaching in colleges and universities in Taiwan, aimed at knowing about the students’ reaction to the oral and writing courses in French taught by means of MS Teams Software and about their preference for the teaching and learning methods. The survey indicates that despite a tendency for the online instruction, the respondents of the questionnaire consider that the online learning is less effective in basic French, that the oral-aural courses are less effective than reading and writing courses and that a majority of them express a strong preference for the traditional chalk-blackboard teaching methods. Furthermore, the survey, if referring further to the written opinions of the respondents, concludes that a language teacher is not easily replaced if well-equipped with the traditional teaching methods and ability to make good use of the state of art technology.
