美濃客語沉浸教學對幼兒客語聽說能力之影響

Influences of Hakka Immersion Programs on Children’s Hakka Language Listening and Speaking Abilities in Meinong

本研究主要研究問題為：一、參與美濃地區客語沉浸教學之幼兒整體客語聽說能力表現為何？二、客語沉浸是否能提升幼兒之客語聽說能力？三、不同年齡層幼兒客語聽說能力進步情形為何？本研究的參與者為高雄美濃地區102學年度參與客語沉浸教學的班級，總計有328位幼兒接受評估。研究者在學年初針對幼兒進行前測，一年後進行後測。研究工具為研究者自編之「幼兒客語聽說能力評量表」，主要用來評量幼兒客語聽說能力及口語敍事能力。研究結果顯示，美濃地區客語沉浸式幼兒在經過一年的客語沉浸教學後，整體客語聽說能力有顯著進步，整體的後測平均分數均高於前測的平均分數。本文最後提出建議，可延續及擴大實施客語沉浸教學，並建立退場機制，淘汰品質不佳園所。
