內容簡介

Translingualism is a catalyst or stimulant of building more positive heterogeneous relationships in Taiwan.
多語言互動論是互相學習生活社區不同的語言來建構和諧的台灣社會。
Sakahemaw sa ko faloco' a mafana' to kahirahira no cingraw (Pangcah/ Amis).

　　Translingualism: The True Beauty of Taiwan assumes that all citizens of Taiwan live in a multicultural and multilingual society and all language groups accept all the languages and cultures as equally-valued. Given the assumption in the preceding sentence, then this book will explore the idea of translingualism, which is based on the notion of interdependence of languages and the ability of speakers to transfer their language competence from one language to another. I have found that speakers can learn several languages at the same time though, at first, progress may be slower than learning one new language. Tung-chiou Huang has been teaching courses on the sounds and structures in multilingual classes for over 30 years and have found that applying action research interchange across several languages can achieve knowledge of another minority languages.

　　Thus the goal of this book is to develop more strategies to give young people among minorities the chance to preserve the language and culture of the elders and awaken their interest in preserving their language and culture and prevent the loss of aboriginal languages. “Translingualism” lets peoples feel that there is a real neighbourhood of speaking different languages in Taiwan at a time.

序

Foreword

　　Taiwan has now accepted its status as a multiethnic, multicultural, and multilingual society. All teachers at all levels of Taiwan’s schools, I believe, should be prepared to teach in a multiethnic classroom environment, and be able to help students to cope with multiethnic situations in positive and fruitful ways. Citizens of Taiwan should also learn to respect and understand the ethnic communities of which they are not members.

　　Dr. Tung-chiou Huang has made the above the center of his academic research. The present volume includes his studies of “Translingualsim” and education in Taiwan and studies of different aboriginal orthography, consisting of three chapters. The first chapter sets the scene for the present book by introducing Goals and Focuses of the Book, Languages and Cultures of Taiwan, Methodology, Terminology, and the Scope and Organization of the book. Chapter 2 reviews the literature of Orthography, Multiculturalism, Multilingualism, and Translingualism. The review of the relevant literature therefore laid the foundations for decisions about the most appropriate orthography. Chapter 3 focuses on applications: Multilingual classrooms and Learning the Mother Tongue By Means of Singing, supportive of professional and personal growth, encouraging practitioners to adopt an enhanced critical perspective on aspects of their work and work environment. I am happy to know that Dr. Huang is preparing another volume on his special area of expertise. Moreover, We need to prevent the extinction of Taiwan’s aboriginal people and languages.
