Abstract/摘要:

In an era in which digital transformation is reshaping the landscape of language learning, innovative and inclusive approaches are becoming crucial. This paper presents e·Chinese Plus, an initiative of a team of lecturers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). e·Chinese Plus is a comprehensive, Moodle-based, open-access platform for enhancing the acquisition of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) specifically addressed to Spanish-speaking learners. The paper outlines the platform’s pedagogical rationale and describes the methodological principles guiding the design and development of its activities, as well as its distinctive features and potential use as a complement to formal instruction. It further examines how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has been selectively integrated into the design of specific activity types, while emphasizing the central role of teaching experience in addressing the needs of Spanish-speaking learners, particularly through activity design and in-task feedback. Finally, the paper discusses future development plans and ongoing challenges, highlighting the potential of this initiative to inspire other CFL teachers interested in creating similar digital learning resources.

在数字化转型重塑语言学习格局的背景下,兼具创新与包容的教学方法尤显关键。本文介绍了巴塞罗那自治大学(Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)教师团队开发的 e·Chinese Plus 综合开源学习平台项目。该项目基于Moodle系统,面向西班牙语为母语的中文学习者,旨在提升他们的中文习得效果。本文阐述了平台的教学理念、练习设计与开发的方法论原则,展示了其特色功能及作为课堂补充工具的应用潜力,并探讨了生成式人工智能(GenAI)在特定练习活动设计中的针对性整合,同时强调了教学经验在回应西班牙语母语学习者需求中的核心作用,尤其是在练习设计与任务内反馈方面。最后,本文概述了平台的未来发展规划与持续建设所面临的挑战,以期为有意开发类似中文数字化学习资源的对外汉语教师提供参考借鉴。
