Effects Of Chinese Formal Features On The Learners From Singapore In Writing Characters And Teaching Method

This paper is based on the situation of errors written by intermediate and advanced learners from the Singapore in HSK Dynamic Composition Corpus(errors labeled as C in the corpus).The purpose of this paper is to research the specific effects of Chinese formal features on the writing of intermediate and advanced learners from the Singapore.The research found that the impact and main performance in the following three aspects: Firstly,in the writing elements,the "Zhe" type of stroke shape has the highest error rate,with horizontal-vertical circle and easy to lose "Gou" writing errors;in the three types of strokes,the error rate of Chinese strokes contained in single and combined strokes is higher than that of few strokes and multi-strokes,writing errors such as increase,loss,out of place,not in place and adhesion of strokes occur.Secondly,in the aspect of configuration elements,the error rate of three parts of the three types of components is higher than the sum of the error rate of two parts and multi-parts,which has a greater impact on the writing of composite characters,resulting in the increase,loss and confusion of components.The higher error rate of the head is the "Zou-Zhi-Di",which appears the writing errors of the simplified and "Zhe" type of head.Thirdly,in terms of structure types,the writing errors of Chinese characters with "Chuan-Cha" structure in the eight structures are relatively high,followed by "Pin-Zi" structure,top-middle-bottom structures,top-bottom structures,resulting in structural confusion and improper writing errors.In view of the above,the external reasons are as follows: the negative transfer of mother tongue,the influence of simplified characters in Singapore.The internal reasons are as follows: the complexity of Chinese characters,the shape of Chinese characters in front and back,by the writing of traditional Chinese characters,and personal writing habits.Therefore,the author puts forward the following teaching methods: Firstly,aiming at the writing errors of strokes,using the method of classification of strokes and correction of strokes.Secondly,aiming at the writing errors of part heads,using the method of write component from memory,the method of component motivation and the method of clan grammar.Thirdly,aiming at the writing errors of structuretypes,using the method of structural discrimination and structural meaning.Through the above analysis,exploration and summary,the author expects to be helpful to Singaporean middle and advanced level learners in writing Chinese characters,and to have some enlightenment on teaching Chinese characters to foreigners.
