成語圖像教材編寫探討-以《戰國策》為例

Abstract

成語是華語所特有的熟語，它不僅濃縮了中國歷史也融進了中華文化。然而，對於華語學習者而言，成語的學習與應用相當困難，因為成語的結構極為精煉，必須具備深厚的文化底蘊方能了解成語的涵義。目前，台灣市面上並沒有針對華語學習者所編寫的成語教材，故筆者希望能編寫一本針對初級華語學習者的成語教材。而成語是中華文化、歷史及語言的揉合體，因此，所編之教材希望能在提升學習者華語能力的同時，也能提高學習者對於中華文化的興趣。根據前人的研究結果顯示，以圖像學習外語對於二語學習者極具幫助，因此，本研究嘗試運用大量的圖像設計一本圖像化成語教材，並且以《戰國策》作為文本，教授文本中所衍伸的成語，希望能透過圖像的呈現，弭平學習者程度的不足，同時以視覺的刺激，提高學習者的學習慾望。經過資料的蒐集與教材的分析後，筆者提出編寫圖像化教材時應注意的面向，並且著手進行教材的編寫。編寫完圖像化《戰國策》成語教材後，針對第六課「畫蛇添足」實施了教材範例的試教，而學生於課後所給予的意見回饋顯示，圖像化成語教材不僅成功地引起他們對於中華文化的興趣，且圖像教學確實有助於學習者學習成語。

Idioms are a unique feature of Mandarin Chinese, which are steeped in Chinese culture. However, to many CSL students, learning and applying idioms can be incredibly challenging.Currently, the Taiwanese market is yet to produce idiom coursework specifically targeted to CSL learners. Therefore, the author hopes to design teaching material targeting beginner CSL students, thereby improving the learner’s Mandarin abilities while increasing their interest in Chinese culture.However, studying idioms presents quite a few difficulties for learners. According to previous research, utilizing images can be beneficial to second language learners, a discovery which spurred an attempt by the author to design teaching material which explains idioms through illustrations. The lessons created in this study include excerpts from Strategies of the Warring States, teaching idioms which are still commonly used today.Upon completing the design of image-based idiom lessons, the author will also conduct a trial run of Lesson 6 Drawing Legs on a Snake, gathering feedback from participating students to discern whether the idiom lesson material succeeds to attract their attention and helps them learn new idioms.
