Abstract

Chinese character comprehension is one of the biggest troubles CSL (Chinese second language learners) face when trying to learn a Chinese language. Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den, a One-Syllable Article (同音文章 Tó ngyīn Wénzhāng) from 1916, continues to see use in classrooms, but there has been a lack of attempts to refine the medium for alternative learning outcomes. The author writes two poems using /ao/ and /ou/ to show the possibility, forcing reliance on orthographic distinctions between phono-semantic compounds. The author therefore proposes their use in a technique for introducing the system of radicals within the Han script. Taking the form of a pedagogical proposal and materials development study, this paper fills a gap in radical-focused learning materials, promoting inductive, student-centred learning, with a reproducible methodology for further development.

摘要

汉字认读是汉语作为第二语言的学习者面临的主要难点之一。 1916 年发表的同音文章《施氏食狮史》至今仍被用于课堂教学，但很少有人尝试改进这一形式，以实现不同的教学目标。本文作者以/ao/和/ou/拼音音节创作了两首诗歌，展示利用字形区分形声字的可能性，迫使学习者依赖汉字形旁与声旁的差异进行辨识。据此，作者提出将此类文本作为一种引入汉字部首系统的教学手段。本研究采用教学提案与教材开发的形式，填补了部首专项学习材料的空白，倡导归纳式、以学生为中心的学习法，并提供了一套可复制的方法供后续开发使用。
