美国明尼苏达州麦迪逊小学汉语沉浸式学习者量词习得情况调查

The Measure Words Acquisition Research of Chinese Immersion Education Program in Madison Elementary School of Minnesota

沉浸式学习是目前北美地区比较流行的第二语言学习方式。美国明尼苏达州麦迪逊小学的学习者从幼儿园开始进入汉语沉浸式班级,在学习汉语的同时还以汉语为媒介学习其他科目。学习者经常需要使用量词但常常使用不当。在根据课本中出现的量词所进行的测试中,各年级学习者的平均及格率只在50%左右;在根据汉语常用量词所进行的测试中,学习者对常用量词的掌握程度与学习者学习汉语的时长成正比。教师应该重视量词教学并从教材选择和教学方法上加以改进,尤其要注意对同音和易混量词的辨析及量词的书写规范。

Immersion Education is considered a popular way to learn second language in North America. In Madison Elementary School of Minnesota,students enroll in Chinese Immersion classes from kindergarten time. The most obvious feature of this program is Chinese as a medium of instruction. The students cannot use measure words correctly,though they need to use them frequently. According to the test,learners at all grade levels cannot have a good command of the measure words coming from text books. But the situation of frequently-used measure words is better,although some problems still exist. Teachers should pay more attention to the teaching of measure words,and then improve the selected text books and teaching methods.
