| Through several conferences on online Chinese language classes hosted by Beijing Language and Culture University,online classroom observations and previous studies have found that many learners are not very motivated to learn in the limited classroom teaching time,their speaking rate does not meet expectations,and there will be many problems in the oral output,making their learning ineffective.After summarizing and sorting out the relevant theories and teaching cases of micro-video,combined with the current situation of international oral Chinese education in the post-epidemic era,we try to apply micro-video as an auxiliary means in the online teaching of international Chinese at the intermediate level.This paper mainly explores the feasibility and possible specific effects of micro-video-assisted international oral Chinese teaching,aiming to provide reference for the promotion and application of micro-video in oral Chinese classrooms.This study took 40 international students as the research subject,divided into experimental class and control class for a three-month teaching experiment.The experimental process was guided by constructivism and connectivism to carry out an innovative design for the application of micro-video to the teaching of intermediate oral Chinese course,which combined with teaching examples and realistic demonstration of the specific teaching process.At the same time,qualitative and quantitative analysis were carried out on the questionnaires collected before and after the experiment,the comprehensive pre-and post-test scores of the two classes,and the interview results,leading to the following conclusions.Firstly,the results of the questionnaire survey on students revealed that micro-video-assisted teaching can stimulate students’ interest in oral learning,improve classroom learning efficiency and enhance students’ autonomous learning ability.Secondly,the micro-video-assisted teaching was able to promote students’ oral learning level and improve their oral performance,as demonstrated by the fact that the experimental class had a slightly lower pre-test score than the control class while the average score on the post-test was 5.67 points higher than that of the control class.And a longitudinal comparison of the test scores before and after the experimental class revealed a significant difference,with a mean score difference of about 7.2 points,making the experimental teaching more effective.Afterwards,the analysis of the transcribed post-test recorded texts by means of quantitative indicators showed that the positive effects of micro-video-assisted speaking instruction on the subjects’ oral production were reflected in the speed of speech,the average length of the flow,the number of pauses and the ratio of error-free clauses,which also demonstrating the effectiveness and advantages of micro-video-assisted instruction.It can be concluded that it is realistic and feasible to apply the micro-video teaching assistance model to the teaching of oral Chinese.Finally,the teaching reflection was carried out on the problems found during the experiment and the feedback from students’ interviews,and some reference suggestions for micro-video-assisted teaching were put forward. |
