摘要： Whether stroke order learning facilitates Chinese character writing for Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) learners is a subject of debate both in teaching practice and empirical research. This study employs a self-developed computer-assisted stroke order learning system to explore the effect of stroke order learning on CSL learners’ Chinese character writing by comparing their performance across different stroke order conditions (correct stroke order, random stroke order, and no stroke order) and with characters of different numbers of strokes. The results show that under the correct stroke order condition, CSL learners have a higher rate of correct output in writing characters, especially for characters with fewer strokes. Additionally, there is a trend indicating that correct stroke order may contribute to reducing writing time. The study demonstrates that learning correct stroke order helps CSL learners to write Chinese characters more accurately and possibly also more quickly; the impact of stroke order on "writing correctly" is greater than on "writing quickly." Based on empirical findings, this paper advocates for the significance and enhancement of stroke order instruction in teaching Chinese character writing.

摘要： Previous research has indicated that English native speakers can develop orthographic expectancy for new words solely through auditory learning, it remains unclear whether orthographic expectancy exists in the process of learning a second language employing an ideographic writing system. This study aims to investigate whether Chinese second language (L2) learners can form orthographic expectancy for newly acquired Chinese characters across two experiments. The findings show that through auditory learning, Chinese L2 learners with higher writing proficiency can form orthographic expectancy for phonogram characters by utilizing phonology-orthography mapping knowledge. These outcomes present the latest evidence regarding whether Chinese L2 learners can generate orthographic expectancy during Chinese character acquisition, underscoring the universality of the orthographic skeleton hypothesis. The pedagogical implications for vocabulary teaching in the context of learning Chinese as a second language are also discussed.

摘要： Semantic radicals provide information on semantic categories and play a crucial role in the decoding and reading of Chinese characters for both native and non-native speakers. However, existing research has not sufficiently examined the representation of abstract semantic radical identity and has overlooked the degree of deformation as a factor. This study uses a masked-priming semantic judgement task (Experiment 1) and a same-different judgement task (Experiment 2) to investigate how the deformation degree of semantic radicals affects the Chinese learners’ abstract representations of these radicals. Results from Experiment 1 indicate that for native speakers, the reaction time under identity prime is faster than that under control prime regardless of the degree of deformation. In contrast, second language learners only exhibit this advantage when the deformation degree is low, with no significant difference when the deformation degree is high, suggesting that deformation degree affects abstract semantic radical identity representations of L2 learners. Experiment 2 found inhibition effects under identity conditions for both native speakers and L2 learners, showing that both groups have mastered semantic radicals with a high deformation degree. These results indicate that the experimental task influences the results and that L2 learners are more affected by the task. Understanding the impact of semantic radical deformation on learners’ abstract representational abilities helps teachers to adjust their pedagogical strategies in order to provide more precise guidance and recommendations for Chinese character instruction.
