Abstract
During the period of covid-19 pandemic, educational activities in several countries around the world have experienced changes in their implementation. Face-to-face Chinese teaching in several Confucius Institutes around the world has been moved to online teaching to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus. In Burundi, online Chinese teaching is provided through the social network “whatsapp”. However, students have some difficulty in improving their speaking skills while learning online. This study therefore examined the strategies that can be used by the students and the teachers to ensure the improvement of students' speaking skills while learning Chinese online. It proceeded by a survey carried out among the students and the teachers of Burundi University Confucius Institute. Two questionnaires were used to question them, and ninety students and ten teachers were able to answer our questions. The findings revealed that online teaching is not very effective to improve Burundian students' oral skills. Speaking is the most difficult skill to improve when learning online. Most of the students have the problem of the lack of interaction with their teachers, the lack of high-speed internet and the inefficiency of the platform used in learning Chinese online. Most of the teachers think that face-to-face teaching is more effective in improving students’ oral skills compared to online teaching. Our study proposed then some strategies and suggestions that can be useful for improving the students’ oral skills while learning Chinese online.
Chinese Abstract
在新型冠状病毒疫情肆虐期间，世界各国教育工作的具体实施方式有了变化。为了降低新冠病毒的传播，全球多所孔子学院的面对面线下中文教学已转为线上教学。在布隆迪，线上中文教学是通过社交网络“whatsapp”进行的。然而，学生在提高中文口语技能方面仍然存在一些问题。因此，本文旨在了解学生在线学习和教师教授中文时可以使用哪些策略来提高学生的口语技能。该研究是面向布隆迪大学孔子学院学习中文兴趣课的学生和教授中文课的教师进行的一项调查。我们采用了两份调查问卷分别对学生和教师进行调研，90名学生和10名教师参与了我们的问卷调查。调查结果显示，线上教学在提高学生的口语技能方面的效果不高。口语是在线学习中最难提高的技能。另外，关于线上学习中文的困难，学生表示在自己与老师缺乏互动、缺乏高速的网络支持以及学习平台效率低等方面存在困难。在提高中文口语技能的有效教学模式方面，大部分教师认为面对面教学比线上教学更有效。最后本文提出了一些有助于学生在线学习提高口语技能的策略与建议。
