English Abstract

YouTube is one of many online platforms that provide good, free learning resources for students of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL). This article aims to explore the role and implications of YouTube videos in CFL education. To that end, it firstly introduces a questionnaire survey conducted among Chinese language learners in Barcelona, Spain, focusing on their viewing habits related to YouTube Chinese-learning videos. The results of the survey not only reveal the students’ preferences for certain types of video content/formats, but also indicate that they make only very limited use of YouTube resources to supplement their formal language education. The article then analyzes 19 Chinese-learning YouTube channels, focusing particularly on features such as the length of their videos, the orthography used, and the language levels covered by the video content. In its conclusion, the article offers suggestions on how better use could be made of valuable online resources such as YouTube videos in CFL education.

Chinese Abstract

YouTube平台是诸多为汉语作为外语(CFL)学习的学生提供优质免费学习资源的线上平台之一。本文旨在探讨YouTube视频在CFL教学过程中所扮演的角色和影响。为此,本文首先在西班牙巴塞罗那的汉语学习者中展开了问卷调查,重点调查他们观看YouTube平台上的汉语学习视频的习惯。问卷调查结果不仅揭示了学习者们对于特定类型的视频内容或形式的偏好,同时也反映出只有极少部分的YouTube资源被学生们用来作为对他们的正规语言学习内容的补充。之后,本文重点从视频长度、汉字书写规则以及视频内容所涵盖的语言等级等方面研究了19个汉语学习频道。最后,本文就如何更有效地利用如YouTube视频等宝贵的线上资源进行CFL教学提出了一些建议。
