| Popis: | 99 This research mainly focuses on the motivation factors of Chinese heritage students to learn Chinese in a non-Chinese speaking environment. Along with this, it also aims to assess which major factors like parents, teaching materials, peers, etc. would bring about a stronger influence on the student in the learning process. Furthermore, since the overseas Chinese living in Switzerland sums up only a few, the teaching Chinese conditions somewhat vary from that of the other areas. In addition to that, the Swiss Bureau of Education has also implemented the Heimatliche Sprache und Kultur program wherein specific language training schools are given rights to release Credit Certificates to heritage students for learning Chinese. This, also, brings about the growing popularity of Chinese around the area. Hence, the future of Switzerland in Chinese Education is particularly notable. The two major Chinese schools in the area with quite a number of enrolled students are Chinesische Schule Zürich and Chinesische Schule in Bern; thus we set these as our research target. But taken into consideration the reasoning and analyzing skills of the respondents, questionnaires were only distributed to heritage students of age 12 years and above. In the end, a total of 31 valid questionnaires were collected in hand. Further to that, principals and students of both schools were also interviewed to gather more information. Such include that of the principal of Chinesische Schule Zürich, the former and present principal of Chinesische Schule in Bern, the two teachers of Chinesische Schule Zürich, the four students of Chinesische Schule as well as two of Bern’s. And so, questionnaire-based survey was used as basis in the analysis, while interview data served as mere supplements. As a conclusion, the questionnaire-based survey can be sorted out into five different categories of which conclude the factors that influences Overseas Chinese students in learning Chinese. These factors consist of the viewpoint of heritage students toward learning Chinese, self-assessment of heritage students on learning Chinese, learning motivation of heritage students, as well as environment, teachers, parents, teaching materials and peers. Moreover, the results derived from the analysis and discussion on the motivation and influential factors of heritage students to learn Chinese allows us to strongly recommend further research on this area. At the same time, we see the feasibility in expanding the Chinese Language Teaching aspect of this country. |
