| Details | 從《羅馬浴場 II》回看我們如何理解「他者」文化—— 對華語教學的啟示 Revisiting the Understanding of “the Other” through Thermae Romae II: Implications for Chinese Language Teaching 2026年1月16日（週五）14:30–16:00 KWZ 1.701， 哥廷根大學 報告人：曾金金 教授， 國立台灣師範大學 主持人：張陶 教授， 哥廷根大學 摘要 本報告以日本影視作品《羅馬浴場 II》為例，討論流行影視文本中「他者」文化的呈現方式，以及其中所體現的跨文化想像。作品透過幽默與錯位的敘事手法，將不同文化與時空並置，呈現文化差異被感知、想像與再詮釋的過程。報告嘗試從跨文化與語言學習的相關視角出發，思考此類影視作品在華語教學語境中可能引發的更廣泛反思，並為文化理解與比較提供一個開放的觀察方向。 Abstract Taking the Japanese audiovisual work Thermae Romae II as an example, this talk examines how “the Other” is represented in popular screen media and how cross-cultural imagination is articulated through audiovisual narratives. By juxtaposing different cultures and temporalities through humor and narrative displacement, the film foregrounds processes through which cultural differences are perceived, imagined, and reinterpreted. Drawing on perspectives from intercultural communication and language learning, the talk further considers how such works can stimulate broader discussions of cultural understanding and comparison within the context of Chinese language teaching. 時間與地點 時間：2026年1月16日（週五）14:30–16:00 地點： KWZ 1.701， 哥廷根大學 Speaker’s Bio: Dr. Chin-Chin Tseng is a full professor in the Department of Chinese as a Second Language at National Taiwan Normal University. She is currently serving as the Taiwan Chair and visiting researcher at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands.

A linguist, phonetician, and teacher educator, her early research focused on phonetics, interlanguage, and second language acquisition. More recently, her work has expanded to include Chinese dialect teacher education, AI-assisted teaching strategies, and the development of an interlanguage prosodic database for Chinese language research in Europe.
