대학 교양중국어 교육의 과제와 방안 ― 동아대학교의 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

This article examines the problems of liberal arts Chinese language course at Donga-A University and suggests some possible solutions. The survey asked five professors who are responsible for Chinese language course at Dong-A University to examine the perceptions and demands on this Chinese language course. Based on the learning goals of liberal arts Chinese language course at Dong-A University, which is composed of the basic pronunciation, four kinds of Chinese intonations and reading and understanding of basic sentence patterns, the problems were diagnosed by setting criteria such as the difference of students’ level, the size of class, the differentiation of department’s other liberal arts subjects, the method and direction of the assesment and lecture evaluation. Thus, we found out that the liberal arts Chinese language courses at Dong-A University have limitations in lecture contents and methods with respect to such factors as the absence of class classified by students’ level, excessive class size and the differentiation of this course with other liberal arts subjects. We also considered issues where relative evaluation is preferred to absolute evaluation which is against the teachers’ needs and lecture evaluation items of questionnaires which are not suitable for the situation of foreign language education. In conclusion, such solutions were proposed as class design which is appropriate to the situation of each collage, mitigation of closing criteria, and adjustment of upper limit of students per class, preparation of special credit certification systems, conversion of absolute assessment criteria, and improvement of survey items for lectures.
