真實語料在法律華語教學中的使用──以房屋租賃契約為例

The Use of Authentic Materials in Teaching Legal Chinese: A Case Study of Using a Tenancy Contract

外語教學使用的「真實語料」（authentic materials），與「特定目的語言教學」（language for specific purposes）的淵源密切。法律華語教學為切合外籍學習者的實際溝通需求，真實語料的使用亦屬不可或缺。本文以房屋租賃契約之真實文本設計法律華語教材，並以生活化的案例設計習題。課堂活動則模擬房客與房東或室友溝通的實際生活情境，創造使用真實文本的情境，並藉由同儕合作和教師輔助，引導學習者根據契約文本解決租屋期間的法律問題。本文在教學實務經驗的基礎上，進一步考察國際相關研究文獻，探討真實語料教材與教學設計的原則與挑戰，期盼真實語料之教材研發能為華語學習者提供實際生活溝通之助益。

The use of authentic materials is closely related to language instruction for specific purposes. In the field of teaching legal Chinese, authentic materials are essential to address the practical communication needs of non-native speakers. This paper explores how to design legal Chinese teaching materials by using an authentic tenancy contract. It includes exercises and classroom activities based on real scenarios that simulate communication between tenants and landlords. Learners are tasked with solving problems through close reading and analysis of the contract, supported by peer collaboration and teacher guidance. Drawing on practical teaching experience, the paper also reviews international research on the principles and challenges of using authentic materials in foreign language teaching. It aims to contribute to the development of authentic materials that help foreign learners navigate real-life communication situations more effectively.
