Features of the Process of Learning to Read in Chinese using Digital Means

Abstract: 
Learning to read in Chinese is a complex and multi-step process that requires a deep understanding of the specifics of writing based on the hieroglyphic system. Through the use of modern educational technologies, wide opportunities are offered to improve this process through digital means. The purpose of the article is to analyze the features of the process of learning to read in Chinese using digital means. The author examines the influence of modern technologies on the perception of hieroglyphic writing and the formation of reading skills among students studying Chinese. The research methodology is based on a systematic analysis of scientific papers on the topic, a comparison of traditional and digital approaches to teaching reading, as well as on the study of practical examples of the use of digital tools in the educational process. Special attention is paid to the cognitive and communicative aspects of using digital texts and programs for the development of reading competencies. It is concluded that digital developments have a significant impact on the process of learning to read in Chinese, contributing to improved perception and memorization of hieroglyphs, as well as providing opportunities for individualization of the educational process. However, in order to achieve the best results, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of perception of electronic texts, integrate traditional methods with digital tools. The novelty lies in the author’s recommendations on modeling the process of learning to read in Chinese using digital tools. Within the framework of the model proposed in the article, the following supporting elements are highlighted: gamification, audiovisual support, and real-time feedback. The recommended model is a comprehensive, adaptive, technologically advanced approach that can be implemented using modern digital educational platforms. The article will be useful for teachers of the Chinese language, methodologists developing programs for learning foreign languages, researchers in the field of pedagogy and cognitive sciences, as well as students interested in modern technologies in the educational field.
