太魯閣族語言行動社群建置之初探

Preliminary Study on the Development of a Truku Language Mobile Community

本研究以花蓮加灣部落為田野場域，透過參與式行動研究取徑，與在地「臺灣太魯閣族文化推廣學會」共同協作，應用LINE社群建立「太魯閣族語行動社群」，探討在數位時代中，如何結合科技創新和在地參與，推動原住民族語言復振實踐工作。研究結果顯示，族人普遍對族語學習具高度認同與積極態度，並期待藉由生活化、影音化與互動式的數位內容提升社群參與度及學習和使用動機。雖然此社群在串連分散語言使用者與創造新對話空間方面效果有限，但結合實體活動應能更有效深化參與和促進成員交流。本研究強調意識建立仍是語言復振的基礎，貼近在地需求和在地經營則是社群永續的關鍵。

This study examines the revitalization of Indigenous languages through the integration of digital technologies and community participation, focusing on the Qowgan／Qawgan community in Hualien, Taiwan, as the primary field site. In collaboration with the Taiwan Truku Cultural Promotion Association and employing participatory action research, a Truku-language mobile community was established via the LINE social media platform to explore new modes of language practice in the digital age. The results reveal a strong sense of identity and motivation among community members regarding Truku language learning and usage. Participants express a clear preference for localized, audiovisual, and interactive digital content to enhance engagement and encourage language usage. While this mobile community demonstrates limited ability for connecting dispersed speakers and fostering new spaces for dialogue, the inclusion of offline activities is essential for deepening interaction and sustaining participation. Furthermore, raising language consciousness is fundamental to revitalization efforts, and addressing local needs while fostering grounded, community-led practices is key to ensuring long-term sustainability.
