VIRTUAL LECTURE Strategies and Methods of Teaching Chinese Characters 汉字教学的策略与方法 By Prof. Zhengyu Shi from ECNU Institute of Global Chinese Language Teacher Education

汉字教学既是汉语教学中一个绕不开的话题,也是一个老生常谈的问题。汉字教学还是一个始终存在着误解的问题,不少教师甚至认为教一个汉字就是讲一个汉字故事。新近颁布的《国际中文教育中文水平等级标准》中的字表有三千汉字,难道我们要准备三千个汉字故事吗?因此,在汉语作为第二语言教学中,汉字教学的地位有点儿尴尬。此次讲座想就以下几个问题展开:一是汉字教学的症结何在?二是汉字作为第二语言教学基本元素的性质是什么?三是如何立足汉字的构字理据展开汉字教学?四是如何构建汉字模块?期待与各位同道的交流与分享。
