| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 華語文教學系 === 103 === The purpose of this study is to examine the design of "Self-access Business Chinese Communicative Learning Material" and its efficiency. Due to the restriction of time and space, business professionals may not be able to participate in ordinary curriculum; therefore, this study aims to develop self-access business Chinese learning material. Firstly, this study provided a literature-based theoretical framework upon business Chiness and self-access material, together with a principle framework of self-access business Chinese communicative learning, with the help of questionnaire analysis. In order to attest the effectiveness of the self-access material, a sample lesson based on the principles framework was designed for experiment.
The main features of this material are the combinations of formulaic forms and cultural language chunks. It also provides formal and informal communicative functions in business situations. In addition, to facilitate the organization and integration of what the learners have learned in limited time, this material uses "visual graphic" to present the content. Complied a sample lesson on declining and expressing gratitude in accordance with the principle, a learning material trail experiment was implemented on pre-intermediate learners who can communicate in English.
Statistics show that (1) the post-test scores are significantly better than the pre-test ones on both of the comprehensive test of declining and expressing gratitude（Mean: from 2.08 to 2.83；p=0.038461*）and the productive test of declining（Mean: from 20.75 to 26.58；p=0.0032989**）. (2) The result shows that the frequency of sub-tactics of declining and target language chunks used by the participants after reading materials has significantly increased. In other words, self-access business Chinese learning material can effectively enhance the length and the abundance of output, which indicate the importance and the potentiality of related researches in the future.
