The effects of single and dual coded multimedia instructional methods on Chinese character learning

AbstractThis study investigated the effects of single and dual coded instructional methods using computer-based multimedia on Chinese character learning. 42 college students with no prior knowledge of Chinese language were randomly assigned to a single coded group (text-only and animation-only) and a dual coded group (animation plus text and animation plus narration) to learn 12 concrete (pictograph) Chinese characters and 12 abstract (ideograph) Chinese characters. The results showed there was a significant difference between the single coded and the dual coded instructional methods and there was also a main effect in the character type. In addition, the findings indicated that within the single coded group, there was a significant difference between two character types and a significant difference between two single coded methods with the animation-only method leading to better achievement score than the text-only method. For the dual coded group, the results revealed a significant difference between two character types as well and a significant difference between two dual coded methods with the animation plus narration method outperforming the animation plus text method.

Some Denominational Reactions to Chinese Immigration to California, 1856-1892

WHEN THE GOLD RUSH brought first Chinese to California in 1848 it brought into state one of most emotional and complex social, political, and economic problems in American history. By 1853 twenty-five thousand Chinese in California comprised largest single minority group in state. Not only did custom, habit, and language isolate these strange immigrants from their Caucasian neighbors, but white miners soon came to resent industry and frugality of Orientals and their cheerful willingness to work longer hours for lower wages. This deflated price of labor in gold fields and led directly and quickly to anti-Chinese riots and to discriminatory anti-Chinese legislation. As early as 1852 California legislature passed a foreign miners' tax. During following year anti-Chinese riots and demonstrations broke out in San Francisco. These were followed in 1855 by state legislation which levied a fifty-dollar head tax on all Chinese immigrants.' In face of these adversities docile and bewildered Chinese could do little to help themselves. The first champion of persecuted Chinese in America was a Presbyterian clergyman, Reverend William Speer. A former medical missionary in Canton, Speer opened first Christian church for Chinese in United States in San Francisco in November, 1853. His knowledge of Chinese language and his interest in problems of Chinese in California made him their logical spokesman. Thus when California legislature considered repealing foreign miners' tax and Chinese landing head tax in 1856, it was Speer who stepped forward to argue case for inarticulate Orientals. In a forceful and widely circulated pamphlet he denied that Chinese were slaves imported by California capitalists for cheap labor. More to point, he skillfully developed thesis that the interests of California
