Research And Implementation Of Computer-aided Chinese Character Stroke Order Teaching

Chinese has become an international exchange language for the recent years with the rapid development of China in the world and learning Chinese is very popular in many countries. Education on Chinese character is an inevitable part and order of Chinese character is considered a key issue during teaching Chinese as a second language.CAI contributes great advantagement to the instruction of order of Chinese character, although some problems, such as the inefficiency, simplicity and redundancy were still existed in CAI software designing. On further improving the practicability and validity of CAI courseware it is necessary to study the method of order and extraction of Chinese character.The thesis consists of the following main parts:(1) Studying and analyzing the contemporary status of the instruction of order of Chinese character, finding the existed shortcomings.(2) Designing the system framework and development process of the CAI courseware according to its regular designing method.(3) Studying the basic structure of Chinese character, including the regularity of the order, the classification of the strokes in order to display character strokes on the computer.(4) Inputting the characters through keyboard or other equipments and obtaining the internal statement number. To place the correct orders of strokes, the contour line should be extracted in advance and then the strokes. In the thesis, we will introduce four basic method of stroke-extraction of Chinese character (Horizontal, vertical, slash, back slash).(5) Exploring an efficient distinguishing method of order of Chinese character. For each Chinese character, the whole order is acquired if either two orders of the strokes were given after the extraction of Chinese character.
