홍콩에 거주하고 있는 대부분의 외국 학생들은 작문이 중국어를 학습할 때 겪 는 가장 큰 어려움이라고 말한다. 최근 장르 교육법(genre teaching approach)은 학습자의 읽기 능력과 작문 능력을 신장시키는데 있어 여러 많은 방면에서 활용 되고 적용되고 있다. 이에 따라 본고에서는 장르 교육법을 중국어가 모국어가 아 닌 학생들을 대상으로 시범적으로 운영하여 그들의 글쓰기 능력을 측정하고자 한 다. 이를 위해 홍콩대학에서 운영중인 “非華語 학생을 위한 중국어 학습 계획”에 참여하고 있는 학생들 중 한 반을 선택하여 그들을 연구 대상으로 삼아, 수업 관 찰과 심층 인터뷰, 학습 전후의 문장 분석과 작문 능력을 비교하여 봄으로써, 두 번의 실험을 통해 우리는 학생들의 글쓰기 능력에 효과가 있는가를 살펴 볼 수 * 香있었다. 이 연구를 통해 중국어가 모국어가 아닌 학생들은 장르 교육법을 통해 교육 받 기 전과 후에 2번에 걸친 글쓰기 능력에 큰 차이가 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 교육 받기 전의 작문은 그 체제가 비교적 산만하였으며, 서술 문장의 문체적 특징이 무 엇인지도 보여지지 않았다. 반면 교육 후에는 그 체제가 비교적 형식을 갖추었고, 서술 문장의 문체적 특징도 전개되어 있었다. 마지막으로 학생들과의 심층 인터뷰 를 통해 우리는 장르교육법이 중국어가 모국어가 아닌 학생들의 중국어 작문 능 력을 향상 시키는데 도움이 되었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

For the vast majority of non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students in Hong Kong, writing is the greatest difficulty they encounter when studying Chinese. Thus, giving support to improve NCS students’ Chinese writing is currently urgent. In recent years, Genre Teaching Approach is a widely used teaching method to improve students' reading and writing skills. This study attempted to use Genre Teaching Approach to teach NCS students to learn narrative writing. The researchers selected one class of students who participated in the Student Support Programme (SSP) in the University of Hong Kong as research participants. Through classroom observation, interviews and text analysis of students' pretest and posttest essays, we explored the effectiveness of Genre Teaching Approach for improving NCS students' writing skills. This study found that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest narrative writing performances of the NCS students. Before Genre Teaching Approach was adopted in teaching, their composition structures were unorganized and did not exhibit the stylistic features of narrative writing. But after they were taught by Genre Teaching Approach, their compositions were well-structured, and showed the characteristics of narrative writing. Finally, according to the in-depth interviews with the students, we could further confirm that Genre Teaching Approach helped to improve NCS students’ Chinese writing ability.

根據志願機構的統計數字，生活於香港的非華語家庭，大部份的經濟環境並不富裕。香港政府提供十二年免費教育（小一至中六），並不包括幼兒教育，因此幼兒教育的學費十分昂貴。香港的非華語家庭較難負擔年幼子女的幼稚園學費，故此過去較少非華語家庭送他們的年幼子女就讀幼稚園。近年，香港推行「幼稚園學劵制」，政府為幼兒就讀幼稚園提供學費津貼，於是愈來愈多非華語家長送他們的年幼子女到幼稚園學習中文。由於這些幼兒的母語並非中文，中文是他們的第二語言，因此他們的學習需要和困難都與本地學生不同；教師教導這些學生時遇到很多困難。本研究參考「綜合高效識字」課程，並按照非華語幼兒的學習需要和困難，為他們設計適合的中文識字課程、教材、教學法、評估等；是香港第一個大規模及有系統的非華語幼兒識字研究。參與本研究的幼稚園共有三間，參與人數約110人。本研究的課程設計，以幼兒常用的口語詞彙類別及頻率作為指標，安排教學主題的次序，並教導他們認識簡單的漢字結構。此外，教師透過運用不同的識字教學法，包括遊戲識字、部件識字、基本字帶字識字法、字根識字法、韻語識字、生活經驗識字、情境輔助識字法等，幫助幼兒有系統地學習漢字，提高他們對學習漢字的興趣，加強他們對漢字字形結構的感敏度，從而促進識字學與教的成效。此外，通過讓幼兒寫字和閱讀兒童故事，進一步鞏固和擴闊他們的識字量。本論文將報告是次研究的結果，並提出促進非華語幼兒識字的方法。

This study investigates secondary school English teachers’ perceptions and psychological burdens involved in the implementation of the speaking and writing tests of the National English Ability Test, which is being developed by the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The study surveyed 138 secondary school English teachers in Seoul. Although more than half of the teachers were aware of the new test, 18% of the surveyed teachers were not aware of the fact that speaking and writing skills would be assessed in the new test. Also, 22.7% of the teachers were opposed to the productive skills test. More than half (56.2%) of the teachers felt some psychological burdens toward the inclusion of the speaking/writing tests. Although the teachers admitted that serving as raters for the new test would help improve their teaching, the majority of them were reluctant to participate in the actual rating process. The teachers felt that the difficulty of subjective rating and the lack of time for the speaking and writing tests were serious problems in implementing the new test. The teachers were sensitive toward the students’ test anxiety. They also indicated that they feel a strong psychological burden when making judgments on the students' performances. Implications and suggestions are made based on the findings.
