社區公共家園推行客家語言巢之方式與成效

在「語言世代傳承」與「使用人口」二項語言活力評估指標中，客語均被歸類為「嚴重瀕危型」，顯示客語使用人口出現了世代斷層的現象。本研究參考國外成熟的嬰幼兒語言巢復振模式，在客家社區公共家園中建置嬰幼兒客家語言巢，旨在探究其推行方式及成效。研究採用單一個案研究法進行，資料收集方法主要包括觀察、訪談、文件收集以及客語理解能力測驗。研究分析方法主要採用質性分析呈現其推行方式及成效。在成效評量上輔以客語理解能力統計分析，比較語言巢與非語言巢嬰幼兒在客語理解能力上的差異。研究結果呈現語言巢如何透過師資培育、教材研發、客語學習環境營造、家庭及社區參與發展模式。成效評估的研究結果發現，客家語言巢對於提升嬰幼兒的客語能力及興趣有正向影響。最後，本研究提出了實施嬰幼兒客家語言巢的建議，包括：培訓托育人員專業能力、聘用客語輔導員、運用歌曲唸謠搭配生活作息活動、增強家庭社區參與以及建立巡迴輔導機制。並於文末提出未來可進行研究之建議。

The Hakka language is classified as ''severely endangered,'' indicating a generational gap in its usage. This study draws on established international language nest models to investigate the implementation and effectiveness of a Hakka language nest in a public family center within a Hakka community. A single case study design was employed, with data collected through observations, interviews, document analysis, and Hakka language comprehension tests. Qualitative analysis presented the implementation practices and outcomes, while statistical analysis compared comprehension scores between children in the language nest and those not in the program. Findings reveal how the language nest model was developed through teacher training, teaching material development, and community involvement. The evaluation indicates that the Hakka language nest positively impacts infants' and toddlers' Hakka language interest and abilities. Finally, recommendations for implementing a Hakka language nest include training childcare professionals, hiring Hakka language facilitators, incorporating songs and rhymes into routines, strengthening family and community participation, and establishing a support mechanism. Suggestions for future research are also discussed.
