ABSTRACT
As the distinctions of formation structure between Chinese and Western languages, learners take more effort in grasping correct formation structure and pronunciation when they are studying Chinese character. Various Chinese character learning systems have already been proposed in order to help the learners recognize the character, but ignore its handwriting and cultural background. We here present a learning system for learners to study Chinese character better. To increase the effectiveness in learning Chinese character, we combine pronunciation and character writing with the integrated use of computer, projector and camera in this design. This system eases the learners to understand the meaning, cultural background and formation structure of character by using the morphological and phonetic animation projection and handwriting instruction. In comparison with screen-writing systems, this system provides a more authentic learning experience for learners through simulating the learning process of writing on real paper. We anticipate our system to be a starting point to explore the instruction in Chinese character in the field of its formation structure, pronunciation and handwriting, and to be used in the classroom or at home in the future.

Reconstructing the correct writing sequence from a set of chinese character strokes
ICCPOL'06: Proceedings of the 21st international conference on Computer Processing of Oriental Languages: beyond the orient: the research challenges aheadA Chinese character is composed of several strokes ordered in a particular sequence. The stroke sequence contains useful online information for handwriting recognition and handwriting education. Although there exist some general heuristic stroke ...
Effects of Font Size, Stroke Width, and Character Complexity on the Legibility of Chinese Characters
This study investigated the effects of font size, stroke width, and character complexity on the legibility of Chinese characters. A within-subjects design experiment was employed. Thirty-six subjects participated in the experiment and completed the ...
