Micro Course Design And Application Of Grammatical Difficulties For Native Spanish-Speaking Learners

Micro-course plays a role in the education field because they can learn at any-time,anywhere,can be played unlimited times.Micro-classes not only provides the possibility for students to learn independently,but also provides materials for teachers to observe and learn from each other and improve the level of teaching.At present,research and application of Chinese international education micro-learning has developed rapidly,but the results of teaching Chinese learners whose mother tongue is not a common language are relatively rare.Based on real learning needs,we chose to make Chinese grammar micro-learning courses for beginners in Spanish.Based on the spoken and written expression corpus of Spanish students,we sort out biased error of Spanish native speakers in the order of place adverbials and time adverbials.From the comparative analysis of Spanish and Chinese,the root cause of the above two types of errors is negative transfer of mother tongue.Therefore,we propose to emphasize the comparison of Chinese and Western word order rules in teaching to deepen students’ understanding in order to reduce the negative transfer of mother tongue.Based on the existing micro-class design theory,we design a Chinese grammar micro-class teaching plan,record a micro-class video which is implemented in the target group and is evaluated by the grammar test scores and satisfaction surveys.Through this practice,the characteristics and deficiencies of the design of microcourse in Chinese international education classrooms are summarized.And we discover the reasons that hindered the popularization of micro-classes in overseas Chinese classrooms: An excellent micro-class requires producers to have rich Chinese teaching experience,good content design thinking and excellent video production techniques,and proficient in the language skills of learners’ mother tongue.Without excellent producers of micro-classes,it is difficult to form a trends of making micro-classes.Secondly,the history of the development of micro-classes is just over ten years,and Chinese learners are not yet ready for new things.Lack of good self-directed learning habits and the ability to resist the temptation of information explosion,learners still need more time to prepare to accept micro lessons.We hope this practice provides more learning materials for Spanish mother tongue learners in Chinese grammar learning and some ideas for later teachers to design Chinese grammar micro-course for different languages,also makes a contribution to micro-course design model.
