The Practice Strategy for Adaptive Chinese Grammar Learning System

Abstract

The purposes of this study are to implement a new grammar practice strategy for elementary-level Chinese second language learners by an Adaptive Chinese Grammar Learning System (ACGLS) and evaluate its effect upon the grammar learning. The strategy, based on the Classical Test Theory, the Item Response Theory and the Dynamic Assessment Theory, enables the system to evaluate learners’ mastery degree as well as learning potential and most of all, to provide them with adaptive learning materials. Experimental Results showed that this strategy can make an effective impact on the grammar learning with the support of ACGLS.
