Chinese characters have always been considered by both teachers and learners a significant challenge for beginners of Chinese as a second language. One major challenge to the learners is the complexity of the logographic configuration of Chinese characters.
The rise of communicative and contextualised approaches in language learning theories synergize with a Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm. Against this backdrop, this project designs MALL environments that emphasize creative learner outputs and contexutalised meaning making using Chinese idioms.
