This thesis aims to deeply explore the effectiveness of oral Chinese teaching for children in non-Chinese-speaking families. Through thorough investigation, it reveals the current status and influencing factors of oral expression in children's Chinese as a second language (CSL) learning. It finds that traditional teaching methods fail to meet the needs of children's CSL oral learning, especially in developing oral expression skills. This establishes the necessity of home-based oral Chinese teaching for children. Consequently, an innovative teaching model, the 4+3+SCI (4+3+Sustainable Comprehensible Input), is proposed and implemented. This model combines three teaching elements selected based on a children's language corpus—nursery rhymes, graded picture books, and cartoons—along with scientific planning. Through four meticulously planned stages, it continuously integrates "oral output and expression" with situational communication, emotional interaction, and comprehensible input theories of second language acquisition. This provides children from non-Chinese-speaking countries with a more comprehensive, engaging, and effective Chinese learning environment. In Chapter One, through a survey-based research approach, the current state of children's CSL learning is thoroughly examined, revealing issues in oral expression and analyzing the influencing factors. The analysis indicates that traditional teaching methods fail to meet the needs of children's CSL learning, particularly in developing oral expression skills. Children commonly exhibit significant deficiencies in listening, vocabulary richness, and interest in expression. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a more systematic, scientific, and easily implementable home-based teaching model to improve children's oral expression proficiency in Chinese as a second language. Chapter Two introduces the concept of the "4+3+SCI Model," detailing the design principles and specific implementation methods for each element. This model aims to create a more positive, interactive, and immersive learning experience in home-based oral Chinese teaching for children as a second language by incorporating diverse teaching materials and fostering family involvement and emotional interaction. The design of this model seeks to promote children's overall development by integrating multimedia resources such as nursery rhymes, picture books, and cartoons with oral expression, situational communication, and emotional interaction. Chapter Three details the experimental part of the "4+3+SCI Model." In this experiment, a comparative study was conducted between children from experimental group families, who followed the "4+3+SCI" model, and children from the control group, who followed regular school teaching methods. The experimental group received instruction according to the "4+3+SCI" model, while the control group followed conventional school teaching methods. Through regular observations, routine assessments, interviews, periodic horizontal comparative assessments, and longitudinal comparisons across the four stages of the experimental group, extensive oral output data of children's Chinese as a second language were collected. This data is then analyzed in-depth to evaluate the effectiveness of the model in practical application. Chapter Four presents an in-depth analysis of the experimental results, discussing the advantages and limitations of the "4+3+SCI" model in improving children's oral Chinese proficiency. By combining the improvement in the oral expression abilities, situational communication, and emotional interaction of the children involved, a quantitative analysis of the output data from the comparative assessments is conducted. This analysis verifies the practical feasibility of the model in a home environment. Additionally, the chapter delves into the issues encountered during the experiment and potential areas for improvement, offering suggestions for future research. The study aims to provide an innovative model and empirical research reference for home-based oral Chinese teaching for children as a second language. This study not only innovates a home-based oral Chinese teaching model for children as a second language in practice but also provides robust theoretical support for children's language learning. By integrating surveys, theoretical analysis, model construction, and empirical research, it contributes new perspectives and insights to the theory and practice of Chinese language teaching. |
