美国对外古代汉语教学调查研究报告 (Survey research on teaching Classical Chinese as L2 in the U.S.)

本文是对美国 11 所高校 144 名古汉语课学生问卷调查的研究报告。调查内容包括学生的语言背景、学习动机、学习结果的自我评估，以及对古汉语教学中一些重要问题的看法，诸如教材的内容与形式、教学语言、教学法等。本研究是多年来首次对美国古汉语教学大规模的跨校际调查，从学生的角度、以量化的方式，为对外古汉语教学今后的发展提供了数据和参考意见。调查结果反映出美国古汉语课的学生组成跟 20 年前相比已经发生了很大的变化，师生在一些颇具争议性的问题上的看法有分歧也有一致。

This paper is a survey research study conducted on 144 students of classical Chinese in 11 universities in the United States. The survey investigates the students’ language background, their modern Chinese proficiency level, motivation of study, self-evaluation of learning results, and their opinions on issues in teaching classical Chinese as L2. These issues include the materials and format of textbooks, instructional language and pedagogy. This study is the first large-scale inter-university investigation on the teaching of classical Chinese in the U.S., and provides statistical data and suggestions from the students’ perspective for the future development of the CSL field. Analysis of the survey results shows that there has been a critical change in student demographics in the past twenty years and the students’ opinions on some controversial topics in the field sometimes diverge from those of the teachers.
