A Study of Beginning-Level and Intermediate-Level Chinese Learners' Writing D Computer-based Writing and Paper-based Writing: A Study of Beginning-level and Intermediate-level Chinese Learners’ Writing Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hana Kang, M.A. Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor Marjorie K.M. Chan, Advisor Professor Alan Hirvela, Co-advisor Professor Mark Bender Copyright by Hana Kang 2011 Abstract Chinese writing is one of the most difficult challenges for Chinese learners whose first language writing system is alphabetic letters. Chinese teachers have incorporated computer-based writing into their teaching in the attempt to reduce the difficulties of writing in Chinese, with a particular emphasis on composing (as opposed to simply writing individual Chinese characters). However, there is a lack of study to fully understand the complexity of Chinese learners’ computer-based and paper-based writing modes and their writing development. This study compares these two writing modes of beginning-level and intermediate-level Chinese learners and investigates how they develop Chinese writing by analyzing their writing errors. This study uses “mixed methods” that include a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches to examine participants’ Chinese writing. Surveys and interviews were conducted to examine participants’ views of Chinese writing and their attitudes toward computer-based and paper-based writing. In total, 58 beginning-level and 12 intermediate-level learners participated in the survey study. Individual writing sessions were arranged with 16 beginning-level and 12 intermediate-level participants for analyzing their writing process. Their paper-based writings were recorded using the Smartpen, a state-of-the-art pen-movement tracking device. Camtasia Studio, a computer ii screen capture program, was used to record computer-based Chinese writing. Two native Chinese teaching assistants graded participants’ writing using a ten-point scale to examine their writing with respect to clarity (in terms of character, vocabulary, and grammar error) and organization (in terms of style of writing and use of linking words). The survey data revealed that participants regarded Chinese writing as “handwriting of Chinese characters.” Due to the difficulty of learning Chinese characters, they thought that they would write Chinese better with computer typing. Different from participants’ perceptions on computer-based writing, paired t-test results of intermediate- level participants’ writings indicated that they wrote Chinese essays better with paper- based writing in terms of writing clarity and organization. Computer-based writing only helped participants produce fewer character errors. Interestingly, when participants wrote unfamiliar genres of writing, there was no difference between computer-based and paper- based writing. In addition, the analysis of the Chinese character writing process indicated that there was a correlation between following correct stroke-sequences and producing correct characters. By analyzing character errors and stroke-sequence errors, I identify three developmental stages of Chinese character writing: Pinyin writing, acquisition of stroke-shapes and rules of compound characters, and matching pronunciations with characters. This study contributes to the Chinese writing field by applying new methods to examine learners’ writing and experimenting with novel technologies to analyze their writing process. The findings reveal the importance of teaching correct stroke-sequences in Chinese character writing. Furthermore, this study discovers that computer-based writing allows Chinese learners to produce correct characters. Finally, it points out other iii important aspects of Chinese writing, including the syntax, genre, and use of Chinese resources, as they also influence Chinese learners’ writing. iv Dedication To my parents and Chaoli v Acknowledgements I thank the Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing (CSTW) at The Ohio State University for conferring me the Dissertation Research Award. The funding provided by this award allowed me to acquire and utilize a Smartpen and a digital camcorder for my dissertation research. It also enabled me to compensate my participants for their time and efforts spent on Chinese writing for this research purpose. Without great help from numerous people, I could not come to this far and finish my dissertation. First, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Marjorie K.M. Chan (Ma Laoshi) for her warmhearted advice and support to my graduate study and my personal life. Ma Laoshi, you always welcome me at your office or home whenever I need your advice. You taught me not only Chinese linguistics but also ethical responsibilities as a teacher and a researcher. I will always remember that one should not abuse one’s power over students. I am also thankful for your trust to help you organize the 20th North American Conference on Chinese Linguistics (NACCL-20) and edit the conference proceedings. I really enjoyed working with you from which I learned the essential aspects of an academic life. Ma Laoshi, 唔該!謝謝! I would like to thank Dr. Alan Hirvela, my co-advisor, for his valuable time and advice on my dissertation. Dr. Hirvela, from the first time I met you, you gave me good advice on research, presentation, and publication. Without your encouragement, I could vi not have explored many research opportunities and presented my studies at various conferences. Your wonderful advice on the “Four Ps” of life (prosperity, patience, perseverance, and pride) inspires me to lead a meaningful life. Dr. Mark Bender, as my dissertation committee member, you always managed to reserve time for me on top of your busy schedule. I thank you for your kind advice to my study and teaching. I also learned a lot as your teaching assistant of EALL 131 class, which built a solid foundation for me to teach introductory East Asian cultures classes. I would also like to thank Dr. Youngjoo Yi. Dr. Yi, you taught me how to survive in the graduate school and shared your research experiences without hesitation. You kindly answered many questions and puzzles I had during the past several years. 언니 항상 언니가 경험한걸 주저 없이 알려주고 먼저 도움의 손을 내밀어 줘서 고마워요. 언니를 만나서 어려운 박사과정을 무사히 마칠 수 있었어요. There are many other people to whom I owe my thanks: Dr. Eun Hye Son, Debbie Kincely, Steven Knicely (史老师), Dr. Eric Yang, Soyoung Han, Dr. Jing Yan, Chunsheng Yang, Rongbin Zheng, Jia Yang, Bo Zhu, and my participants whom I cannot reveal their names.

The optimist will point to the Party’s past record of adaptability and problem solving; the pessimist will point out that no longer are the interests of reform pointing in the same directions as the interests of Party cadres, and certainly not of some still powerful vested interests. But whether China muddles or triumphs through, few are predict- ing that problems such as debt, overcapacity, housing bubbles, economic rebalancing, the sheer cost of providing social security and services to 1.4 billion people will cause severe economic disruption or the collapse of Chi- na.

  • Carbonomics China Net Zero the Clean Tech Revolution
    EQUITY RESEARCH | January 20, 2021 | 8:43 PM GMT The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. Carbonomics China Net Zero: The clean tech revolution China’s pledge to achieve net zero carbon by 2060 represents two-thirds of the c.48% of global emissions from countries that have pledged net zero, and could transform China's economy, starting with the 14th Five-Year Plan. We model the country's potential path to net zero by sector and technology, laying out US$16 tn of clean tech infrastructure investments by 2060 that could create 40 mn net new jobs and drive economic growth. Our China Carbonomics cost curve highlights three key interconnected scalable technologies for net zero: 1) Electrification through renewable power dominates the lower part of the cost curve and has potential to de-carbonize around half of Chinese CO2 emissions, with power generation tripling by 2060 – dominated by wind and solar, driving increased demand for base metals such as copper (+15%) and a complete overhaul of the country’s power networks; 2) Clean Hydrogen is the second most important technology, potentially driving 20% of the de-carbonization, mostly in industry and heating; and 3) Carbon Capture could address 15% of China’s emissions, mostly in industrial processes. Exports contribute c.20% of Chinese CO2 emissions (gross): growing global consumer awareness of the carbon footprint of goods and the prospect of a border adjustment on carbon prices add urgency to China's net zero policy and highlight the importance of carbon markets.

  • Mr. Bai and Mr. Qian Earntheir Living: Considering Two Handwritten Notebooks of Matching Couplets from China in the Late Qing An
    chapter 7 Mr. Bai and Mr. Qian Earn Their Living: Considering Two Handwritten Notebooks of Matching Couplets from China in the Late Qing and Early Republic 老白老錢寫對聯兒 Introduction This chapter explores two chaoben that I bought in China in the spring of 2012. They were written between the end of the Qing dynasty, around 1880, and the early years of the Republic, about 1913. They were both written by literate men whose daily life was very close to the common people in terms of their life expectations and their modest incomes. The men, who had received some formal education and had the ability to read and to write, took advantage of those abilities to earn income by preparing couplets of congratulatory poems that were, and still are, a big part of the social and celebratory life of the Chinese. By attempting to draw inferences and make logical assumptions from the information in these two chaoben and the manner in which the information was presented, I suggest the ways in which they can reveal something about the lives, the worldview, and the economic standing of both men. By looking carefully at the contents of what they wrote, we see that these chaoben can also be used to reconstruct something about the communities in which both men lived and worked. The bulk of the content in both chaoben is matching couplets. Many literate men in this period could regularly earn extra income by offering to write matching couplets, celebratory rhyming phrases that were demanded on many social occasions, such as New Year festivities and weddings.

    China Commercial Regulatory Summary April – June 2020 A quarterly summary of the key Chinese policies affecting UK business This product aims to inform new and expanding UK businesses selling to or located in China about the commercial regulatory issues most likely to affect them. We are providing factual information rather than analysis. All feedback welcome. Summary: In Q2, the Chinese government resumed regular policy work as the spread of Covid-19 was brought under control. The annual “Two Sessions” meeting was held, followed by the issuance of a shortened Foreign Investment Negative List (FINL), new business environment measures and more reforms on Intellectual Property. At a sector level, we saw further market openings in education and financial services. The British Chamber of Commerce in China also launched its 2020 Position Paper which assesses the key challenges faced by British firms in China. CROSS-CUTTING POLICIES: On 29 May, China’s Premier Li Keqiang delivered the annual Work Report during the opening of the National People’s Congress Two Sessions (两会 – LiangHui). Alongside the Work Report, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) published the 2020 Draft Plan for National Economic and Social Development. The two Reports give an overview of the government’s performance against its objectives in 2019, and highlight key tasks for 2020. Trade and investment feature prominently throughout; China pledged to issue new FINLs, a Cross-border Trade in Services Negative List, revise the Government Procurement Law, issue new guidelines on Fair Competition and release a new Masterplan on Hainan Free Trade Port.

  • China Political Meetings Focus on Strengthening Control in Tibet
    China political meetings focus on strengthening control in Tibet Read online: https://savetibet.org/china-political-meetings-focus-on-strengthening-control-in-tibet June 4, 2020 This year’s two delayed and shortened political meetings of the Chinese government in Beijing saw a renewed focus on an “anti-separatism campaign” and “stability” and a call for “absolute loyalty” by the Tibetan people to Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. The meetings, known as the “Two Sessions” of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), were held May 21 to 28. Participating in the deliberations of the plenary meeting of the NPC delegation from the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) on May 22, State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi said, “We must do our best on the anti-separatism campaign and the implementation of various measures to maintain stability, strengthen infrastructure construction of stability, make preparations for long-term struggle.” The TAR spans about half of Tibet, while other Tibetan areas are located in the provinces of Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu, and Yunnan. The Chinese government often uses words like “anti-separatism” and “stability” to fear monger about Tibetans’ desire to live in freedom in their homeland, which China violently annexed in 1959 and has ruled over with an iron fist ever since. Similarly, at the meeting of TAR NPC delegation’s work plan review on May 23, Wu Yingjie, secretary of the TAR Party Committee, said they should
