意大利华裔青少年汉字学习策略及影响因素研究——以佛罗伦萨华文中学为例

An Investigation of Chinese Character Learning Strategies of Italian Chinese Heritage Teenagers

本文主要通过问卷和访谈两种方法考察了意大利华裔青少年汉字学习策略及其原因。研究结果显示,华裔青少年最常用的是音义策略和笔画策略,其次是监控策略和应用策略,最不常用的是计划策略,且不同性别、年龄、家庭语言和学校语言的华裔青少年在汉字学习策略使用上没有显著差异。此外,华裔青少年使用不同汉字学习策略的原因主要与所接受的中国式教育有关,同时还受教师教学方法、汉语学习动机、汉字自身特点以及汉语日常生活环境的影响。本研究增进了我们对海外华裔青少年汉字学习过程的认识和了解,对提高华裔学生的汉字教学,推动华文教育的深入发展有较好的指导与借鉴意义。

This study investigates Chinese character learning strategies of Italian Chinese heritage teenagers and the reasons underlying these strategies.Drawing on a quantitative questionnaire and qualitative interview,the results indicate that Chinese heritage teenagers commonly use strokes strategy and phonetic-meaning strategy and least used planning strategy.Moreover,there is no significant difference in the use of Chinese character learning strategy in terms of learner gender,age,family language and school language.Reasons for what strategies Chinese heritage teenagers use for their character learning may be attributable to the deep influence of Chinese educational schema.In addition,teachers’teaching method,Chinese learning motivation,the characteristics of Chinese language and the learners’daily living environment also have something to do with their character learning strategies.This study enriches our understandings of Chinese character learning strategies of heritage language learners.Implications for Chinese heritage language education are also discussed.
