試論日語教材開發之要素—以高階工學背景之初級日語學習者為對象—

the Challenges of Developing Japanese Language Teaching Materials ―for Professional Engineer at the Beginner Level―

本文主要針對以中文為母語的日語學習者，特別是具有工學背景專業人士所需之日語教材進行提案。本研究有別於既有日語教材的不同之處，在於使其保有他們本身具有先進知識和技能的專業人士之主體性的同時，即使藉由初階日語，亦能進行高度有效溝通。冀望從日語教育的角度為台日兩國的科學技術發展做出貢獻。援此，我們特別聚焦於目前台日先進技術中最受矚目的資訊科技相關研究人員的日語習得狀況，藉由學習筆記分析和訪談調查，試圖瞭解其所面臨之問題所在。並同時透過相關日語教材調查分析，探討本研究所提教材開發之必要性及意義。研究結果顯示，(1)日常生活和研究情境所需的日語、(2)實驗室特定的對話主題和談話模式、(3)理解日語母語者的語言行為模式、以及(4)具實用性之面授教材是為有效。因此，在此基礎上，本研究提出了教材開發的可能面向。今後，我們將更進一步以此研究成果為基礎，具體探究日語會話的實際用法並著手開發日語教材。

 

The purpose of this paper is to discuss basic Japanese language teaching materials that enable professional engineer in Taiwan and Japan to learn the Japanese language appropriate for them while preserving their identity as engineers and researchers with advanced knowledge and skills. Based on learners’ notebook analysis and interview, the study examines teaching materials for basic Japanese conversation. Our results indicated that the possibility of developing teaching materials consisting of 1) Japanese language required in daily life and research situations, 2) laboratory-specific conversation topics and discourse, 3) understanding of the linguistic behavior patterns of native Japanese speakers, and 4) practical face-toface teaching materials. However, further studies are needed to confirm the significance of these findings.
