This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Grapheme Combination Method: Teaching and Learning Chinese Characters through Associative Links (GCM) using a program theory evaluation (PTE) approach. The ultimate objective was intended to (1) provide Chinese language teachers a new approach to teaching Chinese characters and (2) provide non-native Chinese adult learners a tool to learn Chinese characters faster and more easily.

520 $a This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Grapheme Combination Method: Teaching and Learning Chinese Characters through Associative Links (GCM) using a program theory evaluation (PTE) approach. The ultimate objective was intended to (1) provide Chinese language teachers a new approach to teaching Chinese characters and (2) provide non-native Chinese adult learners a tool to learn Chinese characters faster and more easily.
520 $a Data for the study were collected from three sources. The first source was the Beijing Language and Culture University (Previously called the Beijing Language Institute, Beijing, P.R. China). The second source was Georgetown University, Washington D.C. And the third was the U.S. State Department's Foreign Service Institute, Washington D.C. The data were coded and statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for School Sciences (SPSS).
520 $a The GCM emphasizes "graphemes" and "Combinations" as teaching and learning procedures. A grapheme is the smallest unit that can be seen as a basic unit in a Chinese character. The combinations mean that each complex character is constructed by using different graphemes according to certain rules. The GCM departs from the traditional rote method (TRM) of teaching Chinese characters by providing the learner a few basic graphemes along with rules on how to construct complex characters. Associating the new character with previously learned characters avoids learning each new character entirely from "scratch". By doing so, the GCM enables the learner to fully utilize his/her cognitive thinking skills and independent learning strategies developed previously. In addition, the GCM makes the learning take place in a fun, interesting and motivating atmosphere. Finally, the GCM provides a unique way in learning Chinese characters that is similar to the way in which English speakers learn English words. To a large extent, GCM allows Western adult learners to transfer their previous knowledge and academic skills that they have already developed in learning their first language.
520 $a The results of the study show that the achievement gains, measured by the standard Chinese Reading Proficiency Test, of the students exposed to the GCM of learning Chinese characters were significantly superior to the achievement gains measured by the same test given to the students who studied Chinese characters using the TRM. The results also demonstrated that the students in the GCM program rated the outcomes significantly higher than did students in the TRM program. The GCM program for teaching Chinese characters yielded a much higher level of satisfaction among the students than the TRM program.
