“… Chang et al (2015) also demonstrated that stroke order animation contributes to the development of learners’ orthographic representations and the trade-off effect between the three lexical components of Chinese characters. In this experiment, Chang et al (2015) recorded the behavioral and ERP responses of the participants while they were learning and performing the old/new judgment tasks (i.e., character recognition test) and form-meaning matching tasks.…”

“…However, writing is time-consuming and labor-intensive ( Allen, 2008 ). Stroke order animation as an auxiliary teaching tool, therefore, has become an economical alternative ( Jin, 2003 , 2006 ; Zhu and Hong, 2005 ; Chang et al, 2015 ). Nonetheless, research findings on the effectiveness of presenting stroke order animation for learning characters remain insufficient and inconsistent ( Lu et al, 1999 ; Zhu and Hong, 2005 ; Jin, 2006 ; Zhu et al, 2012 ; Hsiung et al, 2017 ).…”

Interference effects of radical markings and stroke order animations on Chinese character learning among L2 learners

There is controversy around whether presenting sub-character units such as radicals and strokes are beneficial to L2 Chinese learning. The present study explored the effects of radical markings (i.e., marked radicals with different colors) and stroke order animations on learning Chinese characters. Forty Chinese L2 learners with native alphabetic languages were divided into high-and low-level groups. They were first required to learn Chinese characters under four conditions either: (a) presented radical markings with stroke animations; (b) presented no radical markings with stroke animations; (c) presented radical markings without stroke animations; or (d) presented neither radical markings nor stroke animations. After learning, the participants were given character recognition and character-meaning matching tests. Results showed that the presentation of radical markings increased the participants’ reaction times in the character recognition test and decreased their recognition accuracy. Moreover, presenting stroke order animations also decreased the participants’ accuracy in recognizing characters. Beyond that, presenting radical markings and stroke order animations had no significant influence on character-meaning matching tests. These results indicate that providing radical and stroke information might interfere with character learning instead of facilitating character learning. The results suggest that excessive visual information introduced in the learning process may increase L2 learners’ cognition load. Also, the findings contribute to theoretical arguments about the analytic and holistic processing of Chinese characters and the pedagogical implications for teaching Chinese as a second language.

“…The characters were either integral ideographs or left-right compounds. All the selected characters met two conditions: (1) stroke numbers ranged from four to eight, matching the participants' reading level of Chinese (LU, 2011); and (2) English translation was at a medium frequency range from 1,000 to 10,000 frequency count (Brysbaert & New, 2009;CHANG, Stafura, Rickles, CHEN, & Perfetti, 2014). A database of the 30 characters, including their English translation, verbal interpretation, and pictorial illustration, was created.…”

Using imagery as a strategy for language learning may be helpful to encode linguistic forms into conceptual networks for long-term memory. Based on Arwood's neuroeducation model of language learning, this research evaluated the effect of imagery in Chinese character writing by English-speaking adolescent students. After comparing imagery effects under three instructional conditions (i.e., English translation, pictorial presentation, and verbal-contextual interpretation), the results showed that the use of imagery predicted significantly better writing results in the immediate and one-week writing tests, but not in the four-week writing test. Cognitive analyses found that imagery was commonly used as a mediational strategy in the pictorial and verbal-contextual methods in the early learning phases. The pictorial method mainly elicited perceptual visual patterns which failed to support sustained memory. For a better character encoding and retrieval, images had to be generated associated with sufficient and relevant contextual information.

“…Section 4.2 reports results for the statistical analysis for time windows of 300-450 ms and 500-600 ms each corresponding to where LAN and P600 are expected, according to visual inspection and previous studies (Chang et al, 2015;Friederici, 2002;Lelekov-Boissard et al, 2002;Munte et al, 1997;Wirsich et al, 2017;Zawiszewski et al, 2011). For each time window, repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted in order to examine ERP responses to agreement violations (Research Question 1) and varying distance (Research Question 2) by the native group and the learner group.…”

The current study attempted to investigate number agreement processing by advanced Korean learners of English, with distance and working memory capacity as modulating factors. Studies have reported that agreement is acquired at a late stage of second language acquisition, and that L2 learners are insensitive to agreement violations in real-time language processing even at an advanced level. English number agreement is not an exception, especially for L2 learners whose L1 does not gs These excited tourists visited the restaurant that served a wide variety of cuisines. us These excited tourist visited the restaurant that served a wide variety of cuisines. gl These excited and enthusiastic group tourists visited the restaurant that served a wide variety of cuisines. ul These excited and enthusiastic group tourist visited the restaurant that served a wide variety of cuisines. gs These trained experts reviewed the trial that focused on multiple rapes. us These trained expert reviewed the trial that focused on multiple rapes. gl These trained and experienced law experts reviewed the trial that focused on multiple rapes. ul These trained and experienced law expert reviewed the trial that focused on multiple rapes. gs These unlucky editors received the letter that contained threat of a terrorist attack. us These unlucky editor received the letter that contained threat of a terrorist attack. gl These unlucky and unfortunate radio editors received the letter that contained threat of a terrorist attack. ul These unlucky and unfortunate radio editor received the letter that contained threat of a terrorist attack. gs These credible scientists presented the study that proved the ill-effects of the compounds. us These credible scientist presented the study that proved the ill-effects of the compounds. gl These credible and diligent chemical scientists presented the study that proved the ill-effects of the compounds. ul These credible and diligent chemical scientist presented the study that proved the ill-effects of the compounds. gs These political spies had access to tools that could cause incredible damages. us These political spy had access to tools that could cause incredible damages. gl These shady and dangerous political spies had access to tools that could cause incredible damages. ul These shady and dangerous political spy had access to tools that could cause incredible damages. gs These party hosts offended the guest that ruined the show.
