為了讓學生從小學開始即對社會各行各業有基本認知,並了解不同領域所需之專業知識與能力,及早為完成高中後欲繼續就學或就業做規劃,美國德州休士頓獨立學區(Houston Independent School District,以下簡稱HISD)每年為學生舉辦職涯探索活動,「只要我長大」-職業博覽會(When I Grow Up-Career Expo),該活動今(2019)年邁入第7屆。

除了去(2018)年因活動當週氣候不佳,主辦單位取消活動,駐休士頓教育組(以下簡稱教育組)每年均出席參與該活動,藉此推廣臺灣教育及獎學金機會,提供未來有海外留學想法的學生另一個教育選擇。

今年活動於323日於舉行,有超過100個公司行號及公私立單位參加,除了往年的油業公司、製造業、建築與工程、大眾服務、商業貿易、廚藝餐飲、零售業、交通運輸、科技工程公司、大學院校等,今年主辦單位特開闢全球教育留學海外及使領館專區,以期增進學生國際觀,促進未來國際移動力。今年教育組受邀與法國及墨西哥總領館併列使領館區,聯手向學生推廣海外教育機會。

為讓學生有機會進一步了解台灣,教育組今年純手工打造復古版台灣夜市彈珠台,於會場中與學生及家長互動,並藉機贈送華測會文具、台灣觀光禮品以及豬年天燈等,加深參與者對台灣的印象,彈珠台遊戲除吸引K-12各年級學生外,家長及學區教職員也忍不住加入遊戲展身手,讓教育組攤位人潮絡繹不絕,許多高年級學生因此對留學到台灣產生興趣,並表示等高中畢業後,有機會一定要到台灣,讓今年主題為「邊學邊玩到台灣-Study in Taiwan & Have Fun」的攤位活動再次成功行銷台灣。

駐休士頓辦事處陳家彥處長與教育組周慧宜組長當日均行程滿檔,但仍抽空至學區為教育組工作同仁加油打氣。學區新任教育委員Sergio Lira博士、副學區總監(Associate Superintendent)Michael Love、學區策略與創新部主任(Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer)Rick Cruz及同來學區擺設攤位的美國外交維安局(U.S. Diplomatic Security Service)專員均前來台灣攤位與陳處長及周組長寒暄並感謝我對學區長期的支持與合作。

《學華語向前走》與兒童華語文能力測驗

國家華語測驗推動工作委員會

一、           詞彙對應關係
    為協助海外使用《學華語向前走》教材之學校單位,清楚了解其與兒童華語文能力測驗(CCCC)之對應關係,本會特向僑委會索取各冊生詞表並進行對應分析工作,分析結果如下表:
《學華語向前走》各冊累計生詞數與兒童測驗三等級詞表覆蓋比例

    上表呈現了《學華語向前走》各冊累計生詞與兒童華語文能力測驗(CCCC)三個等級詞表覆蓋比例,由此可知,學完第二冊累積詞彙量與兒測萌芽級詞彙覆蓋率已近60%,而學完第四冊、第六冊累積詞彙量分別達成長級、茁壯級累積詞彙覆蓋率近60%

二、           報考等級建議:
        學習完《學華語向前走》第二冊的兒童學習者,在萌芽級詞彙覆蓋率近60%的情形下,比較有機會通過萌芽級,可嘗試報考萌芽級;類此,學習完第四冊可嘗試報考成長級;學習完第六冊可挑戰茁壯級。

三、           輔助教學建議:
    然而,語言能力表現不全仰賴詞彙理解,還包括語言策略等,如:從前後文理解文意內容。

    建議教學者可於考前下載:

    除了協助兒童補充詞彙與熟悉題型之外,也可於課堂中適度增加相關教學活動,舉例如下:

聽力活動
Ø   多使用目標語進行簡短的課堂說明與宣布事項。
Ø   以學習者已習得的詞彙為基礎,結合運用與生活環境高度相關的圖片,使用簡單句式,緩慢且清楚地描述圖片自然地讓學習者練習聆聽簡單句子,先提升學習者對完整句子的理解能力,隨後再進行簡單句子的聽力活動與練習。

閱讀活動
Ø   利用與生活高度相關的情境圖片,配合簡單的目標語問句和文字,請學習者指出圖片訊息,或使用簡單目標語回應教師提問以確認是否理解。
Ø   指導學習者練習在句子中圈選認識的詞彙,並引導他們根據圈選的詞彙解讀句中表達的意思。

Ø   指導學習者辨認常見閱讀材料(如菜單、時刻表、簡單的留言等)的呈現形式以及可預期的資訊。

大休士頓地區電腦華語能力測驗圓滿結束

駐休士頓辦事處陳家彥處長()視察考場與考生合影。

駐休士頓臺北經濟文化辦事處教育組於2019323日上午10時,假休士頓大學城中校區 【University of Houston Downtown, 地址: One Main Street, Suite GSB311 (3F, Girard Street Building), Houston, TX 77002】 舉辦2019年休士頓電腦化華語文能力測驗 (Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language,簡稱TOCFL)

2009年在休士頓地區開辦華語文能力測驗以來,今年已邁入第11屆,本年度報名休士頓地區電腦華語文能力測驗總人數為64人,到考人數59人,到考率92%。考生涵蓋各年齡層及各族裔,考生背景分布顯示出在海外華語文學習人口日益成長下,已能突破年齡及華裔為限的概念,也顯見由「國家華語測驗推動工作委員會(華測會)」負責研發與設計之華語文能力測驗(Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language, TOCFL)已獲得海外各界之肯定。

為對應「歐洲語言學習、教學、評量共同參考架構 (CEFR)」,華語測驗共分為三等六級。三等分別為入門基礎級、進階高階級及流利精通級,而每一等又可再依據測驗成績細分為兩級,分別為入門級、基礎級、進階級、高階級、流利級、精通級,共六級。依據美國大學理事會(College Board) 公布關於中文預修 (AP Chinese Language and Culture)的課程說明,學生接受AP課程結束後的程度,接近全美外語教學協會 (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, ACTFL)語言能力指標 (Proficiency Guidelines) 的中高級程度(Intermediate high),對應於華語測驗考試進階級(Level 3)。意即若學生能通過華語測驗的進階級,其程度相當於可通過中文AP考試。通過華語能力測驗者,可獲得中華民國教育部核發證書,有助於考生未來申請大學、到華語地區升學或就業。

駐休士頓臺北經濟文化辦事處陳家彥處長亦現身考場為考生加油打氣,並將於本年5月下旬成績揭曉時頒發獎品鼓勵績優考生。
