| Abstract: | 本研究旨在探討台灣國小中年級學生在參與文化專題課程後之跨文化能力發展狀況並且紀錄學生對參與此課程之看法。本研究為質性研究，研究對象為台灣南部某國小四年級二十二位學生，研究資料來源主要是學生課程學習單與團體訪談。文化專題課程為本研究課程設計之架構，並結合Byram(1997)跨文化溝通能力指標，藉以用來分析及辨識學生跨文化溝通能力，研究資料為課室學習單、團體訪談。
研究結果歸納如下:在學生的跨文化能力方面，首先，以Byram(1997)的跨文化溝通指標五面向中，學生對目標文化知識理解層面，態度以及對兩方文化的詮釋和連結這三層面提昇最為顯著。再者學生皆對運用文化專題方式來學習目標國文化有正向看法，其次中年級學生給予文化專題課程正面的評價並且對他國文化產生好奇心。最後雖然學生對文化專題課程保持正向態度但卻面臨一些挑戰例如最主要是他們的英文能力有限。
本研究希望透過教學現場實施狀況提供未來想透過實施文化專題課程來教授文化課程的教師團隊一個參考課程架構。
This case study investigated the development of Taiwanese fourth graders’ intercultural competence through a cultural project. Besides, students’ perceptions of their learning from the project were also examined. Grounded in qualitative inquiry, the participants were twenty-two fourth grade students. Data were collected from two primary sources: students’ worksheets and group interviews. In this research, Byram’s (1997) ICC model was used as the framework to analyze students’ intercultural competence.
The major findings were listed as follows. First, regarding the five domains of intercultural competence in Byram’s model, the result showed that after participating in the cultural project in class, students developed their intercultural competence mainly in three domains: knowledge, attitude and skills of interpreting and relating. Second, students showed positive feedback about their learning experience from the cultural project. It was found that the cultural project arose students’ curiosity towards the other culture as well as increased their awareness of their own Taiwanese culture. Furthermore, although students held positive attitude towards the project, they also experienced some challenges mainly about their own lack of English ability. It is believed that the findings of this study can provide insights to teachers and researchers who are interested in integrating cultural project into EFL classrooms. |
