萨摩亚课堂沉默的多重含义：对教学、学习和测试的启示

Abstract:In Samoan classrooms，student silence or lē-tautala is a cultural communication practice，as it is in the community. The most significant meaning promoted in the home context is that of respect for elders or visitors，but as this paper explains，lē-tautala has multiple meanings. This paper reports on the findings of a research that unpacked lē-tautala. It looks at the multiple meanings communicated via the practice of lē-tautala and the consequences of requiring students to speak when their cultural inclination tells them not to. It also highlights some implications of the cultural practice of lē-tautala on the teaching，learning and assessment of Samoan students both in Samoa and elsewhere.
