中興大學優華語計畫華語教學助理外派人員教學心得

Teaching Reflections of Mandarin Teaching Assistants Dispatched under the NCHU Outstanding Mandarin Program

本心得報告說明本人於2025年獲聘為國立中興大學優華語計畫華語教學助理，外派至美國楊百翰大學（Brigham Young University）進行為期八個月之華語教學實習經驗。透過實際參與美國大學華語課程教學，深入了解當地教學體制、學生背景及課程運作模式。楊百翰大學學生多具以宗教為目的的傳教經驗，可能影響其中文能力，且普遍展現高度學習動機；此背景使教學現場呈現能力落差與多元需求。在教學實務上，本人分別以教學助理與講師身分參與多門課程，協助並主導課程教學、課程設計、評量規劃及行政溝通，實際體驗不同教學角色所承擔之責任與挑戰。過程中，透過與授課教師協調教學內容、回應學生學習困惑，以及獨立規劃閱讀與寫作課程，逐步培養跨文化教學能力與專業素養。整體而言，此次外派教學經驗不僅深化本人對美國華語教學現場的理解，也促進個人在教學專業、行政應對與自我成長上的全面提升，對未來投入華語文教學工作具有重要啟發與實務參考價值。
