Abstract
Abstract In a classifier language like Chinese, all the noun phrases with numerals or demonstratives must go with classifiers, for example, liǎng zhī bǐ 兩枝筆 ‘two CL pen.’ Classifiers vary depending on the nouns. This poses a big challenge for learners of Chinese as second language. Cognition-based multimedia and paper materials for Chinese material classifiers were developed and proved to be effective for learners of Chinese as a second language. The experimental group (N = 15) used the multimedia program and the control group (N= 20) received the same information on paper. Both groups made significant progress after a 10-week treatment. The results suggest cognitive principles are helpful for classifier learning in either multimedia or paper format.
