Abstract

Through case study, interview and questionnaire survey, it is found that the use of affective strategies affects the learning effect of Chinese characters of international students, and ultimately affects the learning effect of Chinese language. The use of affective strategies in Chinese character learning is related to learning motivation. Through the investigation, the learners with instrumental learning motivation are found significantly better than the learners with integrative learning motivation in the use of affective strategies for Chinese character learning, and the learners who love Chinese culture have the highest use rate of affective strategies for Chinese character learning, which are call affective learners, and they will spontaneously use various affective strategies to reduce anxiety. Generally speaking, classroom learning stage can be divided into pre-learning, in-learning and post-learning. No matter which stage the successful Chinese learners are in, they can use affective strategies to reduce anxiety, and make self-encouragement and relaxation in Chinese character learning. The progress in Chinese character learning can also stimulate the motivation of international students to learn Chinese, so that international students can continue to use affective strategies in Chinese character learning to reduce anxiety, encourage themselves, and continue to learn. Thus, a spiral circulation system is formed. The losers of Chinese character learning either give up Chinese character learning without affective strategy at the beginning of learning, or give up Chinese character learning without affective strategy at the stage of learning process, or give up Chinese character learning after classroom learning. The level of Chinese character learning determines the level of Chinese language.
