《漢字積木—字本位學習法》係由本校林振興教授與陳學志教授兩位華語文教學教育及心理專家共同編撰。林振興教授為本校「應用華語文學系」的系主任；陳學志教授則是本校「華語文與科技研究中心」主任兼「教育心理與輔導學系」系主任。兩位的合作是為了解決華語文學習上漢字的辨認與書寫之難題。他們發展出綜合現行華語文字本位與詞本位教學的《漢字積木—字本位學習法》，以部件帶字做為選字原則，由此基礎開展：部件識字、以字構詞、以詞組句，最後成為課文篇章；而課文內容亦以學生溝通需求為主旨，套入各種生活情境之對話，且逐課依序安排語法觀念。翻閱《漢字積木—字本位學習法》，看著兼具學理及實用的教材，我們相信本教材必能提升華語文學習者的學習成效，並且大獲好評。

Chinese Characters: Building Blocks was jointly compiled by Professor of Chinese Language Teaching Zhen-Xing Lin and Professor of Educational Psychology Hsueh-Chih Chen. Professor Lin holds the post of Chairman to the Department of Applied Chinese Language and Culture, National Taiwan Normal University. Professor Chen holds the post of Director to the Center of Learning Technology for Chinese (CLTC), as well as Chairman to the Department of Educational Psychology and Counseling, National Taiwan Normal University. This joint work was compiled in order to assist Chinese language learners in character recognition and Chinese character writing. Chinese Characters: Building Blocks employs an integrated Chinese character learning approach, featuring both “character-based” and “word-based” material presentation. In this textbook, character components are used to introduce words, and according to this principle, it offers a basic knowledge on how to recognize characters by their components; how to use characters to compose words; how to use words to make a sentence; and in the end of every lesson provides a short text. The text is based on learners’ conversational needs, and covers all kinds of daily life topics, while also providing grammar point explanations. Since “Chinese Characters: Building Blocks” provides both theoretic explanations and practical exercises, we believe it will be well received among learners and prove itself very helpful in Chinese language study.

　　漢字構形自古就有分解，例如「休」字，兩千年前的《說文解字》分析為「从人依木」，人依靠著樹木是息止的意思。但是「止」字，《說文解字》說是「下基也，象艸木出有趾。故以止為足。」那就難懂了。時有古今，言有情境。現代文字教學不必拘泥於前賢的解說，以學習者接觸的事物來論述，才能言而有物。陳學志教授領導具有教育和科技涵養的同仁，共同撰寫了兩套漢語教材，一套是《我也繪漢字》，以字形分析，建立筆形聯想來輔助字形和字義記憶，同時從漢字擴展到詞語，讓漢字實用於語言學習。第二套是《漢字積木—字本位學習法》，從文字結構分析和詞語組合再擴展到完整句子的使用，以積木的手法教學生學好語言，破除了語言學習不應受漢字干擾的迷思。

The structure of Chinese characters has been studied and analyzed since ancient times, for example according to Chinese dictionary from two-thousand years ago Shuowen Jiezi ( "Explaining and Analyzing Characters"), the character “休” is described as “person (亻) leans on tree (木)”, thus explaining its “stop to rest” meaning. On the contrary, when Shuowen Jiezi explains the character “止”, it says “Base. Grasses and trees have roots. Ancestors used stop to mean foot.” Not so easy to understand, right? As times change, so does the language. Modern language education does not need to rigidly adhere to the teaching methods of the past generations, for it is only when new knowledge is referenced to the things that students come into contact in their life, that meaningful communication becomes possible. Bearing this in mind, Professor Chen Hsueh-Chih with his team of colleagues in education and technology fields, jointly wrote two Chinese language textbooks. The first one is called “Learning Chinese Characters with Drawings”, and is focused on character structure, using association method to assist students in memorizing character structure and meaning, at the same time expanding from characters to words, making character study a practical part of learning the Chinese language. The second book is called “Chinese Characters: Building Blocks”, and just like building a house with building blocks, it leads learners from characters to words, and from words to complete usable sentences, as a result, proving wrong the misconception that characters and vocabulary should be taught separately.
