Chinese tones has always been one of the key and difficult points in teaching Chinese to speakers of other language, therefore, the method of Chinese tones has always been the hot topic and focus in the field of teaching Chinese to speakers of other language too. Scholars have put forward advice and suggestions based on their own teaching practice, some of these methods are helpful in teaching Chinese tones. However, most of them are still relatively abstract and difficult for non-native Chinese learners (hereinafter referred to as “learners”) to learn tones, it is difficult to reach a consensus in the end. In recent years, more and more attentions have been paid to how to enhance learners' perception of tones. So, this paper will also start with strengthening the learners' perception about tones, elaborate that there is a corresponding relationship between the 5 degrees of the Method of Five Degrees Notation and the Numbered Musical Notation 1 (do), 2(re), 3 (mi), 4 (fa), 5 (sol), and put forward a teaching method, which combines the numbered musical notation as the tones' value of the four Chinese tones to sing and read(it is called "The Method of Singing and Reading in Combining the Numbers Musical Notation" in this paper). At the same time, combined with the author's teaching practice，this paper argues that the Method of Singing and Reading in Combining the Numbers Musical Notationand can make learners percept Chinese tones more directly, understand them more easily, and make their learning interest stronger, thus to get a good teaching result.

This study was designed to explore effective techniques to be used in IERW (Integrated English Reading and Writing) classes for college students. The study last for 15 weeks and included 457 students and 11 instructors at E University. The participants were freshmen who were taking a compulsory English reading and writing class, and the instructors were seven native English speakers and four Koreans. To ensure the effectiveness of IERW classes, it is important to identify what teaching activities are being used and which activities students prefer. To address these issues, the instructors were interviewed regarding their teaching activities in IERW classes. From the interview results, a survey was made that asked students which class activities they consider useful. The results show that most students responded positively to the activities that the instructors were using, with a preference of around 70 percent. Notably, pair or group activities were rated as less favorable than other activities, with a score of under 50 percent. Some implications of the findings and suggestions for teaching activities for IERW classes are provided.

중국어의 글자와 단어는 형태·소리·의미상 매우 다양하고 복잡한 특성을 가지고 있다. 이로 인해 많은 중국어를 사용하지 않던 (non-Chinese speaking) 학생들은 이와 같은 중국어의 글자와 단어·구 조합의 다양한 특징을 쉽게 변별하기 어렵다. 모국어인 영어 또는 필리핀어, 파키스탄어, 네팔어 등과 같은 기본 자모를 갖춘 언어들은 모두 병음 문자 계통을 사용 하기 때문에, 중국어에서 사용하는 한자의 자형·자의의 개념에 대한 이해가 부족할 수 밖에 없다. 이로 인해 그들은 한자를 쓸 때마다 매우 큰 어려움을 겪게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 제시된 『閱讀促進學習』(Reading to Learn, 이하 'R2L'이라고 약칭한다.) 교육법은 그들의 어려움을 극복하는데 일정한 성과가 있었다. 본 논문은 중국어가 비 모국어인 학생들의 대외한어 수업에서 R2L을 사용하여 한자를 가르치는 현장 설계와 그 수업 절차를 관찰 및 분석하였고, 실험 결과 이 교육법이 학생들의 말과 글을 묘사하는 능력을 향상시키는 데 일정한 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 '사례연구'라는 연구방법으로 R2L 교육법이 중국어를 모국어로 하지 않는 홍콩 학생들의 대외한어 작문 수업에서 어떻게 활용되고 있는지에 대해 연구를 진행하였고, R2L 교육법을 통해 중학교 1학년 학생들에게 문장 또는 글자를 묘사하는 것을 교육하는 현장 상황을 분석하였다. 또한 교사와 학생들의 인터뷰, 수업 심층연구 및 원문분석 등의 연구 도구들을 활용하여 대외한어교육현장에서 진행되 는 한자교육에서의 R2L 교육법 도입과 그 가치(효율성)에 대한 내용을 총정리하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해, 중국어 교사가 R2L교육법을 실시한 후, 서로 다른 수준을 갖고 있는 학생들이 글자와 문장을 묘사하는 능력을 제고시키는 데 효과가 있었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구자들은 본 논문의 연구결과를 토대로, 대외한어교육현장에서 R2L교육법을 응용한 한자교육의 전략에 대해 관련된 의견들을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 한문에서 관습적으로 쓰이고 있는 한문의 慣用語句(常用語句)에 대한 표현과 용법에 관한 고찰이다. 본고는 한문의 관용어구를 ‘부정의 의미를 나타내는 문장’, ‘비교의 의미를 나타내는 문장’, ‘서술어와 목적어, 보어 도치의 문장’을 중심으로 관용적으로 표현되는 어구에 대한 풀이와 구조원리를 정리·제시하였다. 본 연구는 한문의 어휘뭉치(collocation)에 관한 연구로 항상 어울리는 단어끼리 조합하여 어떤 특정한 의미를 나타내는 한문의 상용적 표현인 관용어구를 추출 하여 그 원리와 의미에 대한 분석내용을 제시한 것이다. 이는 한문 독해에 있어서 무의미한 虛詞로 인한 독해의 난해성을 용이하게 풀이할 수 있는 근거가 될 수 있으며, 漢文讀解 교수·학습방법 이나 한문독해 관련 학습서 또는 참고서 제작에 직접 활용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 향후 교육과정 개편 및 교과서 편찬 등에서도 참고할 수 있을 것이다.

Picture book, a kind of artistic form which uses pictures and words to tell a story, it has exquisite pictures, concise statements, interesting stories, simple but profound themes and a tone could convey positive energy. It not only makes children engender resonance and a deep sense of identity but also improves children’s language abilities, mode of emotion and enhance their understanding of life and relationship. As a starting point of reading for the children, the picture book is the “first book” in their lives. Meanwhile, it provides a kind of “comprehensible input” corpus to foreign language learners. This article through picture book educational practices of Chinese children reading, analyzed the effect of picture books instruction and certificated this effect. Picture books have a great potential, Chinese teaching should pay attention to picture books instruction to make learners change “reading” to “enjoy reading”, stimulating their interest in learning Chinese and love Chinese.

홍콩은 중국으로의 귀환 이후 시행된 兩文三語정책 아래 소수 민족의 중국어 교육은 점점 더 중요시되고 있다. 비중국어권 학생들에게 어떻게 하면 더욱 효과적인 중국어 학습의 기초 단계를 학습하게 할 것인가는 매우 중요한 연구 과제가 되었다. 홍콩대학은 홍콩교육국의 연구 과제를 수주한 이후, 학교에서의 방과 후 중국어 학습을 지원하게 되었다. 중학교에서의 교육에 중점을 두고, 최근 일년 동안은 소학교까지 확대하였다. 본 연구는 「閱讀促進學習」(R2L)이라는 교수법 이 비중국어권 소학교 학습자들에게 어떤 효과를 보이는지를 집중적으로 논의하였다. 먼저 연구 초기에는 연구대상들의 작문 문제가 어디에 근거하였는지를 측정하였고, 「閱讀促進 學習」(R2L)이론에 근거하여 교육 설계를 시행하였다. 연구는 20개의 소학교 학생들을 대상으로 진행하였으며, 반 년간에 걸친 교육에서의 예측과 한자, 어휘, 구절과 전체 문장을 점층적으로 확대 하는 방법으로 학생들의 읽기 능력을 신장시킨 후, 마지막으로 실험 결과를 통해 이 학습법 시행 이전과 이후를 검토하여, ｢閱讀促進學習(R2L)이 어떻게 학생들의 읽기 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 지를 조사하여 보았다. 이 연구 이후, 홍콩에 거주하는 비중국어 학습자들의 중국어 능력을 향상시키고, 이로 인해 그들 이 홍콩 사회에 더욱 융화되어, 구직을 하는데 조금 더 훌륭한 기초를 마련하는데 도움이 되었으면 한다.

The purpose of the current study is to examine 123 English reading-related articles published in English Teaching from 1965 to 2014 in order to consider what has been studied in English reading and how, and to gain insight into what has to be studied and how from now on. To fulfill this purpose, the articles were analyzed in terms of basic data, research methods, and research themes across four time periods. In accordance with the findings, it has to be admitted that English reading-related research has made notable, impressive advances in quantity and quality. In particular, it is notable that research methods and themes have been diversified and expanded across the periods. For further development, it is required for researchers' ceaseless endeavor to explore ongoing issues and troublesome gaps in English reading research and to establish a theoretical and practical framework for reading research in Korean EFL context.

When one is reading or writing, various forms of bottom-up knowledge—e.g., grammar, vocabulary, orthography, and the mechanics of written language—interact with the top-down processes at the level of discourse. One of the reasons English language learners encounter a lot of difficulty when they are engaged in academic reading and writing is that they have been taught grammar only at the sentence level and not at the discourse level. In order to illustrate how discourse-based grammar instruction can facilitate the acquisition of academic reading and writing, this paper discusses various ways in which the following four topics can be dealt with at the discourse level: cohesion, the tense and aspect system, comma usage, and existential there. Obviously, discourse-based grammar instruction should be integrated with the teaching of the other top-down and bottom-up skills necessary for academic reading and writing. EFL teachers, however, need to know more about discourse grammar to effectively make their learners aware of it and to offer them learning activities that will contribute to better reading comprehension and written production.

중국어를 모국어로 사용하지 않는 학생들의 중문 능력을 효과적으로 향상시키 는데 있어, 읽기를 강화하는 것은 매우 중요하고도 현저한 효과가 드러나는 방법 이다. 그러나 효과적인 독해의 목적에 도달하기 위해서는 학생들의 한자 능력을 발전시키고 공고하게 하는 것이 우선적인 임무이다. 본 연구의 주요 목표는 Dr. David Rose가 제안했던 Reading to Learn 학습이 론에서 출발하여 그림책 교육의 과정에 결합시켜 어떻게 하면 비화교 학생들의 중국어 학습이 효과가 극대화할 수 있으며, 이를 토해 그들의 한자 습득과 읽기, 쓰기 능력을 향상 시킬 수 있는가를 논의하였다. 본 연구는 액션 러닝 기법을 이용하였는데, 이들의 행동을 연구하는 기간 동안에 연구원과 유관 중학교의 부교장은 비화교 학생들의 한자 사용 능력이 향상되 어, 읽고 쓰는 능력에 이르는 것 외에도 위에서 제기하였던 방법을 실제 어떻게 운영하여 얼마나 비화교 학생들의 그림책 읽기의 흥미와 효과를 높일 수 있는지 를 알고 싶어 하였다. 연구결과를 통해 우리는 Reading to Learn 학습법이 그림책을 결합한 교육인 ｢文類教學法｣을 운용할 때 비화교 학생들의 한자 습득과 읽기 능력이 증가함과 더 나아가 읽기에 대한 흥미를 진작시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

長期以來，香港很多非華語中學生在學習中文寫作時都面對著字詞不足、文章結構散亂、文類特徵含糊等困難，因此必須給予他們足夠的寫作教學支援。「以讀促學」教學法（Reading to learn methodology）是目前廣泛應用在澳洲土著學生的英語第二語言閲讀和寫作教學法，其成效備受肯定。故本論文嘗試應用「以讀促學」教學法在非華語中學生的中文論説文寫作教學上，採用前實驗設計的單組前後測的研究方法，選取一位中文老師和十五位非華語中學生作爲研究對象，進行爲期五個星期的教學試驗研究，配以觀課、訪談及比較學生在教學之前和之後所寫的論説文，來探究「以讀促學」教學法在非華語中學生論説文課堂教學的實施成效。研究結果發現，師生一致認爲「以讀促學」教學法能夠有效提高學生上課的投入程度，師生課堂互動較多；並能提高學生學習中文寫作的信心，增加其課堂參與度。而學生在接受教學之後所寫的論説文，在字詞運用、文章結構鋪排及文類特色呈現三方面均比接受教學之前所寫的論説文為佳。

香港與中國大陸和台灣不同，小一學童不是採用漢語拼音或國語注音來學習閱讀。我們的經驗是幼兒自3歲開始，透過運用全語言方法編寫的圖畫故事來學習閱讀，5歲時已可認識800多個生字和多種句式，能閱讀淺顯的插圖故事書。此外，中國和台灣教育局均禁止學前兒童寫字，但香港小一開學第三個星期就有中文默書。幼稚園畢業時，學生要識寫250多個字，包括筆劃複雜的「醫」字，才能順利上小學，學習的方法是透過抄寫。過早抄寫造成幼童小肌肉的勞損，過程亦痛苦。我們的經驗是結合視覺、「中文字母口訣」和書空的多維感覺並用方法，不須抄寫，5歲幼童就能有效、有趣地提高寫字的能力。會上，將透過課堂錄像展示母語是華語或非華語的3至6歲幼童學習中文的讀、寫經驗。

Neither Chinese character (Hanzi) learning nor classicalChinese literature instruction should be done in isolation. This paperexplores the way to integrate Hanzi learning, classical Chineseliterature and comprehensive reading in primary schools. It firstdiscusses the hypothetical mental process of children’s readingcompetence development. Guided by this hypothesis, children couldeasily learn Chinese characters in their reading practice, higher gradeprimary school students could learn to fluently read simple classicalChinese articles with proper pause, and they do not need to spend extratime on Chinese learning. In this paper, all of the practices are guidedby the principles of teaching target category in the curriculum designtheories accepted worldwide, such as how we teach students learn tocorrectly write the commonly used Hanzi required by course standards, howwe teach students to write Hanzi in a standard way so that theirhandwriting looks good, how we teach students to learn Pinyin, and howstudents could improve both reading and writing skills in comparativeclassical Chinese literature reading exercises, etc..

최근 교육과정에 있어서 의사소통능력이 강조됨에 따라서 듣기, 말하기가 특히 강조되는 반면, 읽기와 쓰기 즉, 문자언어에 관한 학습능력 역시 같이 향상되고 있는지에 대해서는 논란의 여지가 많았고, 학교단위 수준에서 보면 오히려 부정적인 견해도 많았다. 이것은 알파벳, 단어, 문법, 구문, 독해로 이어지는 기존의 일반적인 상향식 학습의 폐해로 여겨지기 때문에, 문자언어에 미숙한 중학생이라 할지라도 텍스트 전체로부터 접근하는 하향식 읽기 방법을 접목할 필요가 있다. 글의 전체적인 구조와 전개방식에 대해 배경지식을 가진다면 읽기가 훨씬 수월해 질 것이기 때문이다. 쓰기의 경우에도 빈칸 채우기나 문장 단위의 통제되거나 유도된 수준에 그치는 경우가 많고, 실생활에 필요한 자유 작문 형태의 쓰기 학습은 소홀히 다루어지고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이 문제 역시 영어교사들이 자유 작문을 시도해 볼 신뢰성 있는 틀이나 형식이 없기 때문에 그 필요성을 인정하면서도 실제로 수업에서 적용키 어려운 점이 있었다. 이 같은 상황을 학생과 교사 입장에서 개선할 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로서, EFL(English as a Foreign Language) 상황 하에서 읽기와 쓰기를 체계적으로 연계시킨 좀 더 새로운 학습방법이 고안될 필요가 있었다. 본 논문은 비교적 최근의 이론인 과정-장르 중심 접근법에 이론적 근거를 두고, 장르별로 텍스트의 전체적인 구조와 언어적 특징을 구별하고, 이것을 쉽게 도식화한 스켈레톤 다이어그램을 그려 봄으로써, 읽기와 쓰기에 동시에 효과적인 새로운 접근법을 구안하였다.

The present study was designed to probe pedagogical viability of extensive reading as an effective alternative in English reading instruction. To accomplish the purpose, an English book club was formed, consisting of 40 high school students. The book club activity was held during four months of summer and winter vacations in 2009. The participants were encouraged to freely write anything in their reading logs they felt while reading. The reading logs and interviews were analyzed. They revealed effects of extensive reading and changes of the readers' cognitive and affective reading processes. According to the results, 1) extensive reading has potential to be a successful alternative in English reading instruction; 2) the readers could experience “amusement” and “absorption” by reading sufficient books with the i−1 level; and 3) extensive reading enabled them to choose their ways of reading and to be responsible for their choices.

In the early reading stage, readers should be supported both orally and conceptually so that they are equipped with the basic skills and knowledge about word recognition. Thus, a lack of systematic support in the early reading developmental stage impedes the natural growth of reading ability. This article investigated how children were supported in reading from their teachers in the primary English classrooms. To accomplish this purpose, eleven reading-focused classrooms were analysed. Observations, video recordings, and interviews were conducted for data collection. Field notes and checklists were also used during the observations. Qualitative analyses revealed that children were poorly supported in learning to read: teachers used few limited teaching techniques and their uses were not effective on reading. The data from the interviews revealed that teachers were rarely trained for reading instruction, and that they possessed a limited knowledge about the English language system as well as about the reading development of young learners. Hence, the teachers' poor background knowledge and lack of skills led to less effective reading instruction. Based on these findings, it is suggested that teachers require training such as in basic knowledge about the English writing system and reading development in order to deliver effective reading instruction to early readers.

Over the last three decades, various disciplines of discourse analysis have shared a common interest in language use, especially in how people use real language. It is therefore of immediate interest to language teachers when selecting and devising teaching materials or when engaging learners in activities aimed at leading them to be more proficient users of their target language. This paper begins with outlining essential written discourse elements, such as grammatical and lexical cohesive devices, clause relations and larger text patterns which play important roles in syntactic and semantic cohesion and coherence in written texts. Then, the procedure of a written discourse analysis on a news text is described. The paper ends with a discussion on the insights from the written discourse analysis, which might be applicable, in specifiable ways, to language teaching, focusing on how to apply written discourse elements to teaching written English in real classrooms.

The present study investigates the effects of teaching activity-based integrative reading and writing on the amelioration of written language in the elementary school classroom. This study was conducted during the first semester in 2003. The subjects were 160, 6th year elementary school students. They were divided into two groups, control and experimental. Both the control group and the experimental group were composed of 80 students each. Each group was divided into three levels: high, intermediate, and low, on the basis of a diagnostic evaluation. All the subjects of the experimental group were integratively taught reading and writing of the English alphabet, words, phrases, sentences, and context, according to their level. All the subjects of the control group were discretely taught reading and writing according to their curriculum and level. They were also given a questionnaire of affective and psychomotor domains. Statistical analyses were performed to determine: (a) the difference of the control and experimental groups, (b) the difference between the control and experimental groups, (c) the difference of their level (high, intermediate, and low) of the control and experimental groups on reading and writing in the pre- and post- achievement tests, and (d) the difference of the level of the control and experimental groups on the affective and psychomotor domains such as interest, self-confidence, understanding, participation, and motivation of reading and writing in the pre- and post- achievement tests. The results of this study reveal that significantly higher scores on the written language were obtained in the experimental group. The difference between the control group and the experimental group was not significant at the beginning of the term. However, the difference was significant at the end of the term. It was also found that in the experimental group, interest was improved at the intermediate level. Self-confidence and understanding were improved at the intermediate and low levels, and participation was improved at the low level. It is recommended that researchers and teachers develop integrative materials of reading and writing more widely according to the level.
