Chinese language learning using mind mapping
Nowadays it is necessary to use modern technologies and modern methods for systematization of sense Chinese written sign, for formation of Chinese patterns too. One of the effective method of learning Chinese language is mind mapping. Gradual introduction of mind mapping into the learning process allows to explain the meaning of Chinese lexical units, allows to enrich the pupils speech with them and to structure these concepts. Introduction of mind mapping into the education process of Chinese language permits “to open” the hidden culture sense of Chinese written sign, this method helps to analyze the relations system of Chinese written sign and to decode “cultural codes” of Chinese culture. The feature of this method is creating the central idea (a grapheme or a character); it will be the basis for a development of associative link and then for a development of case phenomena. Thus, basic patterns of Chinese culture can be form systematically. Learning the Chinese language using mind mapping can be more effectively at the beginner levels. There are four phases in process of forming system knowledge about Chinese lexical units: formation of the semantic kernel of grapheme or character; development of the semantic field of grapheme or character; development of associative link and case phenomena; control. Using mind mapping in the learning process allows pupils to understand a system communications of characters in the text. In process of making a mind map has the opportunity “get into” the Chinese culture. In this way, learning the Chinese language using mind mapping as a method of training contribute to development of “new” linguistic personality.
