ABSTRACT

By reviewing and combing the related works of the character-based teaching method, this paper clarifies the origin and development of the character-based teaching method, and analyzes five groups of concepts that are easy to cause confusion and misunderstanding, i.e., (1) the theory of character as the basic unit of Chinese and the character-based teaching method; (2) the morpheme teaching method and the character-based teaching method; (3) the character-based teaching method for teaching Chinese as a second language and the character-based teaching method for teaching Chinese as mother tongue ; (4) the French character-based teaching method and the general character-based teaching method ; (5) the absolute character-based teaching method and the relative character-based teaching method. This paper holds that we should use the word “benwei”(-based/basic unit) carefully. As a scientific term, “benwei” should express only one concept, and be consistent in its connotations and extensions during discussion. Chinese character teaching is an important subject and the bottleneck of Chinese communication and promotion. We should explore an effective pedagogical system for Chinese characters on the basis of the existing character-based teaching method; Solid basic research and practical inspection are the key to the construction of the pedagogical system for character teaching; we should pay attention to the applicable scopes of various teaching methods and adopt different standard strategies under the view of a comprehensive basis.
