Popis: | 102 One of the learners’ motivations in learning Chinese is their interest on Chinese culture, which includes Chinese martial art. Since Chinese martial art has evolved with Chinese culture for thousands of year, some learners have grown certain enthusiasm about its features due to its long history. Since the researcher possesses Chinese pedagogy background and have been practicing Chinese martial art, and TPR (Total Physical Response) methodology allow the researcher to integrate Chinese martial arts into Chinese teaching, so that the learners could enhance their Chinese glossaries and syntax through martial art training, and moreover, enhance extension Chinese language in daily life. The research intended to construct a feasible model of intergrating Chinese martial art into Chinese teaching for novice level Vietnamese-speaking learners to understand their response and study. The researcher adopted action research method and conducted four action researches. During the study progress, the researcher discovered problems and solved them to construct a teaching model suitable for learners through observation, reflection, interview and questionaire. The findings of this research are as follow : First, the model of intergrating Chinese martial art into Chinese teaching can work effectively in case that the movements are closely aligned with the descriptive language. Second, the descriptive language should be simplified to suit novice learners. Third, learners should have enough time to practice the movements combined with descriptive language. Fourth, the language in martial art field and the one in daily life should be specifically related with each other. Fifth, the intergration between martial art language and daily life language is helpful for learners to increase their linguistic abilities. Sixth, learners expressed positive feedback for the teaching model used in this research. And, the greatest harvest is the professional development that the researcher obtained through this action research. Hope that the suggestions in this research could be a reference for Chinese teaching research in the future. |
