We first discuss the background of, motivations for and process of creating the scripts. Using the Siraya script as an example, the paper demonstrates how different usage layers can affect the spelling and document format of a script. From a survey based on published Dutch and Spanish archival materials and other records from the 17th to the 19th century, we compile a total of 51 items of Plains Austronesian Latin documents. A comparison of these items reveals the text formation process of the documents. We suggest that the contribution of Daniël Gravius in the Siraya translation of the Gospels of Matthew and John and the Christian formulary may not have been significant, although he was often later credited as the author. The survey also provides clues when searching for ‘lost’ items, such as the Siraya ABC Book. In addition, we collate Plains Austronesian Latin script accounts in Chinese records. These provide strong evidence of the use of Latin script in Makatau villages during the Qing dynasty. The records also reveal that during the 18th century, there were Plains Austronesian people who knew the Latin script, called ‘teachers’. It may have originated from the schoolteachers of the Dutch colonial period. After the Dutch withdrew, these ‘teachers’ became responsible for the villages’ accounting and administrative documents. The education of Plains Austronesian children was then conducted by schools established in the Qing dynasty, with Han Chinese teachers recruited to teach the children Chinese classics.","PeriodicalId":36639,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Writing Systems","volume":"39 7","pages":"213 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138626751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To partially address this issue, we investigated self-regulated Chinese character learning by alphabetic learners. Using structural equation modeling, we constructed a model of the relationship among teachers’ instructions, learners’ beliefs, and learning strategies based on a survey of 202 CFL learners. The model indicated that teachers’ instructions directly and positively affect learners’ beliefs and learning strategies. However, learners’ beliefs cannot predict what strategies they adopt in character learning. The findings of this study shed light on the effective teaching of Chinese characters to CFL learners. We suggest that in addition to shape-related and pronunciation-related instructions, CFL learners should be provided with more meaning-related instructions and that Chinese character typing should be introduced to facilitate the learners’ use of effective strategies in self-regulated character learning.","PeriodicalId":36639,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Writing Systems","volume":"47 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134901888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing standardized speech and language assessment tools in Mandarin Chinese: A context for improving reading and writing 开发标准化的普通话语音和语言评估工具:提高阅读和写作的背景

However, little information is available about practices for language assessments in Chinese and about how language assessment tools are used in kindergartens and schools in China. To address this gap, this study explores the circumstances and provisions for assessing Mandarin-speaking children; through a survey, interviews and observations it ascertains the needs for assessment tools and identifies associated challenges. Specifically, data are analysed through 145 questionnaires gathered from Chinese speech and language therapists (SLTs) to help identify key difficulties in using current language assessment tools. In addition, seven individual interviews with SLTs and two focus-group interviews were conducted to probe the reasons underlying the difficulties and to identify strategies for improvement. The analysis shows a severe shortage of reliable and valid speech and language assessment tools in Chinese. With due training for language teachers and SLTs, these standardized tools could be applied in kindergarten and school contexts. If systematic and affordable pre- and in-service language assessment training programmes are established, they can support teachers in kindergartens and schools to develop reading and writing in Chinese with solid evidence, besides identifying children who may have delays in language development. Without standardized tools to measuring reading and writing abilities accurately, and without early assessment and appropriate intervention, some children with language disabilities will face lifelong disadvantages. In this way, developing Mandarin Chinese assessment tools for SLTs is part of wider literacy development for all.","PeriodicalId":36639,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Writing Systems","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134995056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
