Two
Critical Questions from嘉馨
1. 文中提到線上教學會導致跨文化交流的誤解與衝突，而這些問題有些是語言溝通上的問題，有些是跨文化知識缺乏的問題，有些甚至是語言與文化認同的問題。試問：身為教師的我們應如何處理這些問題？(《生活、認知與中文教學》，戴金惠，頁252)
I would offer few personal suggestions as follows:
Ø Assess pedagogical and administration policy in order to see your
ultimate goals of syllabus design, that is your overall goal.
Ø Narrow down the course scope in order to make your mid-term goals
for your courses.
Ø Then, you will assess your learners’ background knowledge and their
abilities in order to design course by semester, monthly, and then weekly.
Once you finish
a basic frame work, and then carefully add cultural factors to each layers in
order to reach C1/C2 introduction, C1/C2 contraction, and C1/C2 application.
Remember well preparation can help a teacher avoid bumpers as much as possible
and there is always gap between inter or intra cultures cause that’s why
communication is needed and language serves its functions as well.
2. 若使用數位教學應用於課堂中，你覺得此種教學方式是好是壞？為什麼？
Teaching methods, approaches, and
techniques have been changing along with the whole pedagogical contexts, and it
only goes beyond our vision. The evolution of teaching appliances, of course,
have been designed more multi-functional and efficient as well. However, we
can’t but rise a question to ourselves that would it be possible that students
don’t need teachers anymore or would 3C technology replace teacher’s role in
our near future? The answer goes back to the inventors of whose intentions and
motivations root from. Few possible thoughts are like increasing chances of
authentic materials for both teachers and learners. Once online teaching is
adapted both sides, geographic distance will not be a problem. Learning will
not be restricted by time, either. Still, human beings acquire certain
behaviors through our sensory experiences. The processes are quite complex and
it can be analogized as looking at a glass of water will not resolve your
thirst. You have to feel it in order to know the temperature of the water, not
just by reading and watching. One of the toddlers’ experiments conducted by Dr.
Patricia Kuhl and Dr. Huang in NTNU examined language acquisition in comparison
of mother and media. Their findings reveal that mother plays a crucial role for
language acquisition before certain critical ages. On the other hand, the results
also suggests that media can contribute to language acquisition but with little
efficacy. Evidently, the neuro-linguistic experiment restates the key role that
human being has played in order to trigger the innate device of all of us,
irreplaceable. Therefore, 3c appliances can be utilized to enhance learning
motivation and attribute to somewhat significant results, yet it can never
replace a teacher!!
