    袁京震

    在这个星期的课上，我们讨论了汉字教学和其他多媒体教学的问题。汉字是我们汉语教学一个很重要的组成部分。从某种程度上来说，汉语教学其实就是汉字的教学。学生认识的汉字越多，意思知道的越精确，应用的越熟练，学生的汉语能力就越强。另外学生遣词造句和文章写作能力的提高都依赖于对汉字的理解和掌握。汉字学习对习惯了用字母写字的外国学生来说是一个全新的领域和挑战。我们应该尽我们最大的力量帮助学生多认识汉字，掌握汉字和应用汉字。在这方面，我们每一个老师都有自己的方法和经验。比如用偏旁部首来引入汉字的教学，用字的结构解释字的意义，用造句的方法帮助学生学习如何使用词和字，用写故事的方法让学生在语境中应用词汇和具体某一个词和字。我自己比较喜欢让学生用每一课所出现的生词编写一个和课文不同的故事，这样既能促使学生在相应的语境中理解和使用汉字，也发挥了学生的想象力和创造力。当然这样的方法需要老师认真地阅读和修改学生的故事，但是很多学生对我讲他们喜欢这样的方法，比机械、死板的记忆词和字有意思。但这只是我的方法，我希望知道老师们更多的汉字教学方法。
