Research and Analysis of Chinese Character Learning Apps for Foreigners and Construction of the "HanZi Tong" Model

Abstract

 Based on the theory of self-directed learning and mobile learning, this text explores the research results of foreign Chinese learners and overseas Chinese in the application of Chinese character learning. The text aims to make use of fragmented time to break the time and space, material, and object limitations of Chinese character learning to promote the benign interaction between language technology and language economy. It also applies this approach to the practice of teaching Chinese as a foreign language to explore a new teaching model - the Chinese character learning application model. Based on the test results of the Chinese character learning application in the IOS system, this study proposes a prototype of an ideal Chinese character learning application - "Hanzi Tong" - through in-depth analyses and summaries of the main problems and advantages of the current Chinese character learning application, aiming at overcoming the difficulties in writing, remembering and recognising Chinese characters, and to provide feasible suggestions for promoting the integration of app-based independent learning and traditional classroom teaching.
