走出教室，走進生活：華語學伴制度的跨文化實務與反思

Stepping Out of the Classroom and Into Daily Life: Cross-Cultural Practices and Reflections on the Chinese Language Buddy Program

此篇介紹中興大學華語中心於2025年4月至11月推動的「華語學伴制度」，並說明其設計理念、執行方式與主要成果。計畫依教育部「113年外國學生華語文能力精進計畫」辦理，旨在協助國際學生於課堂之外獲得穩定的語言練習及文化支持。透過招募、培訓、見面會、配對與回饋機制，學伴逐步發展為同時具備語言協助與文化導航功能的在地陪伴者。實施成果顯示，國際學生的語言自信、日常語用能力與文化理解皆明顯提升；本地學伴亦在互動中增進跨文化敏感度與語言引導能力。制度運作期間同樣面臨配對穩定度、時間協調與交流深度等挑戰，顯示未來在責任機制、分層引導與數位化管理方面仍需持續優化。本年度經驗證實，學伴制度能有效連結課堂與生活，是強化語言實踐與文化理解的重要支持模式。

This article introduces the Chinese Language Buddy Program implemented by the Chinese Language Center at National Chung Hsing University from April to November 2025, outlining its design principles, implementation process, and major outcomes. The program was conducted under the Ministry of Education's ''2024-2025 Mandarin Proficiency Enhancement Program for International Students'' and aimed to provide international students with consistent language practice and cultural support beyond the classroom. Through a structured system of recruitment, training, meet-ups, matching procedures, and feedback mechanisms, buddies gradually developed into local companions who offered not only linguistic assistance but also cultural navigation. Program results indicate that international students demonstrated notable improvements in language confidence, everyday communicative competence, and cultural understanding. Local buddies also enhanced their intercultural sensitivity and language-facilitation skills through sustained interaction. Challenges such as pairing stability, scheduling coordination, and varying depths of engagement emerged during implementation, suggesting the need for further refinement in responsibility mechanisms, tiered guidance, and digital management tools. Overall, the outcomes confirm that the buddy system effectively bridges classroom learning with real-life application and functions as a crucial support model for strengthening language practice and cultural integration.
