Joint Seminars

Seminar: Distinguished Scholar Joint Lecture Series on Chinese Language Education

（一）本講座將首先描述一個以新加坡一年級學生華文口語能力診斷評估工具的開發研究，藉以説明如何從不同側面評估第二語言學習者的口語表現，並加以診斷性描述。然後，從促進學習的評估理念出發，闡述如何將口語教學目標與口語能力的診斷性評估相結合，來進行針對性的教學總體規劃與具體設計。

（二）執行功能(executive function)是指為達成個人目標對思維和行為進行意識控制的心理過程。近年來，國際研究者非常關注它對語言學習的影響。此次講座將結合學界有關執行功能的理論設想，討論執行功能在中文學習中的角色，並報告研究者近來探討執行功能與香港小學生字詞認讀之間關係所獲得的初步實證發現。最後，研究者就執行功能在語文教學中的具體應用作一些討論。
