| In recent years,international students are more inclined to use mobile phone software to search and learn Chinese vocabulary.The software has the features of large memory,rich learning resources and convenience,which provide great convenience for foreign students.In the Table of Modern Chinese Characters for General Use,pictographic characters occupy the main position,about 80% of the total.In addition to the pictographic characters whose pictographic degree and phonological degree are traceable,there are also some pictographic characters whose meaning or pronunciation are no longer clear due to deformation and phonetic change,but they are still closely related in shape,sound and meaning.Besides,some non-pictographic characters have the same parts or pronunciation with some pictographic characters,which belong to the category of "cognate words".They all have the feature of "the same components or pronunciation".If we classify these pictographic and non-pictographic words with the same parts or pronunciation into one category for statistics,the proportion will be more than 80%.Therefore,this study assumes that if foreign students can accurately master these pictographic and non-pictographic words with the same parts or pronunciation,they will also master most Chinese characters,and their vocabulary and Chinese proficiency will certainly be greatly improved.Therefore,this paper starts from the cognate words,taking the pictographic characters as the research subject,and takes the pictographic and non-pictographic characters with the same components or pronunciation as the research object,trying to software the learning of cognate words with same "homograph" or "homophone".This thesis is divided into five parts.The first part is the introduction part,which includes the background,significance,research ideas and methods.The second part is the theoretical basis and literature review part,which includes the related contents of mobile learning theory,self-regulated learning theory,as well as word family theory.This part also includes the research review of pictographic characters teaching and Chinese vocabulary learning software of this paper.The third part is the specific design scheme of the software.First of all,this part defines the three core concepts of "learning cognate words","software design scheme" and "Chinese learners whose native language is English";secondly,this part expounds the reasons why the book Syllabus of Chinese Vocabulary and Chinese Characters is used as the basis and standard of selecting characters;finally,this part analyzes the functions and reference values of the existing Chinese and English vocabulary learning software,and under the guidance of the three theoretical basis,combined with the principles of the content and form elements of the design scheme,the functional composition of the learning software of cognate words in the design scheme is established.The fourth part is the trial design of small applet,and the application of the applet in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.First of all,this part introduces the design principles of the small applet,under the guidance of the design principles,it makes a trial applet of the main functions of the software by using the "instant application" small applet development website,and shows the screenshots of the main modules in the small applet.Second,this part introduces the overall situation,the integrity of the content,the novelty of the form,the simplicity of the operation,user acceptance and other aspects of the small program design,and sets up relevant interview questions.Then,we interview 56 Chinese learners whose mother tongue is English on the one-to-one basis,and summarize the results of verification and interview,and discuss the solutions to the three research questions.Finally,this part elaborates the application value and the areas to be improved of the small applet designed in this scheme in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.The fifth part is the conclusion.This part describes the conclusions and possible innovations of this study,and analyzes the shortcomings of this study and the prospects for future research. |
