“汉字难学”之教学对策

Teaching Strategies to Deal with the "Learning Difficulty of Chinese Characters"

本文尝试从观念和策略上探讨应对国际汉语教学中"汉字难学"的问题,主张汉语学习者和汉语教师应树立正确的汉字观、汉字学习观和汉字教学观。比如,任何一种语言和文字都有好学和难学之处,或此时为难彼时为易;单独学汉字不太容易,但跟汉语学习结合起来看,其优势便得以体现;汉字纵有千千万,但应该学习的汉字数量很有限;教师应树立乐观务实和充满人文精神的汉字教学观,并在教学实践中努力化解汉字难学的观念。

This paper attempts to discuss the ＂learning difficulty of Chinese characters＂ in internationalChinese language teaching and challenges the fear for learning Chinese characters by providing teaching strategies.The paper suggests that Chinese language teachers and learners should build a correct concept of ＂what is Chinese characters＂,＂how to learn Chinese characters＂ and ＂how to teach Chinese characters＂.Any kind of spoken and written language has their specific linguistic features,either being easy or difficult to learn as a foreign language.The learning of Chinese characters will become easy when learning it with the Chinese language.Chinese characters may be numerous but only a limited number are for students to master.Therefore,Chinese language teachers should develop a pragmatic,optimistic and humanistic spirit for teaching Chinese characters and make efforts to deal with the learning difficulty in teaching practices and so on.
