Abstract

Beginning learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) have to undergo the processing of Chinese word recognition when they learn Chinese characters. Therefore, effective designs of the computer-assisted Chinese learning program for beginning learners of Chinese characters should consider the uniqueness of characters, and present the target characters in a meaningful and systematic way. This article first introduces Chinese characters and their features, then describes the elements that should be included in computer-assisted programs, and last illustrates the effective designs that we propose for learners.
