A Dynamic Research Of Novice Teachers’ Use Of Media Language In Indonesian Elementary Chinese Class

China’s academia of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language has always advocated"the use of target language to teach target language",but it is difficult to be achieved in the real teaching process,especially in overseas countries that lack of a target language environment,in addition to the target language,teachers usually use media language to assist teaching.The use of media language by teachers is not static,but a process of dynamic change.It is common in the primary stage of Chinese learning and gradually decreases with the improvement of students’ Chinese level until it is fully integrated with the target language.This paper takes six novice teachers in Pusat Bahasa Mandarin at Universitas Negeri Surabaya as the research object and uses class observation methods to study the use of media language of these six novice teachers in Indonesian elementary Chinese class and then make relevant suggestions.This paper is mainly divided into four parts.The introduction part clarifies the purpose and research significance of the topic,and summarizes the relevant literature.The second part is based on the length of students’ whole learning process,recording 6 novice teachers’ Chinese classes in different periods at the primary stage.From each class,the case selects 6 typical teaching parts for analysis,summarizes the overall characteristics of the novice teacher’s use of media language in the elementary Chinese class.The third part compares and analyzes the data from horizontal and vertical dimensions,and roughly describes the dynamic change process of the use of media language in the elementary Chinese class.The fourth part proposes relevant suggestions on the use of media language by novice teachers from two perspectives of increasing the effective input of the target language and improving the use of media language.The results of this study show that in the elementary Chinese class,the use of media language by novice teachers is relatively brief and purposeful.The disadvantage is that a large number of media languages are used for translation,as well as a small amount of abuse and misuse.In overseas elementary Chinese class,the use of media language is mainly affected by the difficulty of teaching content.The use of media language by teachers in different periods of the primary stage shows a gradual decrease,the speed is first fast and then slow down.In a non-target language teaching environment,the following suggestions are made on how to increase the effective input of the target language:establish a strong sense of target language expression and create a classroom atmosphere in the target language;be familiar with the students’ existing target language knowledge and be good at using it;standardize the common words of target language used in the classroom.In the use of media language,the following suggestions are put forward:carefully choose which media language to use;use translation methods selectively to reduce the negative transfer of mother tongue or second language;the use of media language should be rigorous to avoid abuse and misuse.
