Abstract/摘要：

With the increasing use of online teaching in schools, asynchronous online discussion (AOD) is becoming a common tool to facilitate interactions in online courses. However, very few studies explored using AOD in the context of Chinese language learning, including learning Chinese as a heritage language. To fill the gap, this article delineates the implementation and implications of AOD in an online Chinese heritage language course. A social learning platform named Yellowdig was adopted to conduct AOD, with two primary goals: community building and resource sharing. Students’ reflections and feedback confirmed its social and educational benefits and indicated the promising utilization of AOD in other Chinese language courses of both in-person and online modes.

随着线上教学的增加，为促进网络课堂的互动，异步在线讨论的应用越来越普遍。然而，包括华裔中文教学在内的中文教学对于异步在线讨论的运用的研究依然较少。本文旨在讨论如何将异步讨论活动应用于一华裔中文线上中文课程。该异步讨论活动在名为Yellowdig的教育社交平台上进行，以期达到两个目的：建立学习社群以及资源分享。学生的反馈肯定了该活动在社交、学习两大方面的益处，这也表明该活动可应用于其他线上或线下的中文课程。
