台灣萬花筒．華語看世界

本書特色

　　This book found its inspiration from topics that are unique to Taiwanese culture explored through a total of 12 lessons organized into three units: “Daily Life in Taiwan,” “Social and Cultural Development in Taiwan,” and “Looking at World Issues Through the Kaleidoscope of Taiwan.” Every lesson discusses topics in Taiwanese local specialties and social issues by introducing current events and cultural phenomena that provide a vivid picture of everyday life in Taiwan, encouraging learners to gain a deeper understanding of Taiwanese culture. Furthermore, each lesson was designed with a ”Global Corner,” which allows learners from all over the world to immerse themselves in the topics, sparking mutual discussion. This encourages learners to go above and beyond to explore Taiwanese culture and society while motivating them to comprehend how certain topics connect countries around the world and nurturing competence in cross-cultural communication.

　　On the other hand, Key to the World: A Kaleidoscope of Taiwan was designed specifically for intermediate-advanced learners, intending to strengthen their Mandarin Chinese abilities, so that they can successfully study high-level materials. These lessons especially focus on expanding and building vocabulary. Besides incorporating common terminology, units such as “Near-Synonym Distinctions,” “Character Association Maps,” and “Formal and Informal Conversions,” can be utilized to supplement lexical acquisition. Overall, we endeavor to employ a wide array of methodologies to aid Chinese learners as they expand their vocabulary, grasp the differences between near-synonym terms that commonly confuse learners and further develop the ability to discern the differences between informal and formal language usage, ultimately reaching a higher level of proficiency.

　　《台灣萬花筒》是由國立臺灣師範大學華語教學系蕭惠貞教授帶領16名研究生共同完成的華語教材，本書以台灣文化特色為題材，涵蓋「台灣日常生活切片」、「台灣社會文化發展」和「台灣萬花筒看世界」三大單元，共12課。每課皆以台灣在地特色及社會議題為主題，利用貼近生活的時事和文化內容吸引學習者，從而促進他們對台灣的認識。此外，各課最後設有「國際角落」，融入時下話題激發討論。此單元旨在引導學習者進一步探討台灣文化及社會現況，並由此連結世界不同國家的相關議題，藉以培養學習者的跨文化溝通能力。

　　另一方面，《台灣萬花筒》以中高級華語教材為定位，旨在鞏固學習者的華語能力並順利銜接高階課程。教材尤其著重詞彙量的擴充和累積，除了一般生詞環節外，更透過「識字聯想」、「近義詞辨析」、「語體轉換」等單元輔助詞彙學習。總體而言，本教材務求以多元途徑協助學習者循序漸進地擴展詞彙量，掌握容易產生偏誤的近義詞組，並進一步培養語體意識，使其華語程度更上一層樓。
