In the acquisition of Chinese as a second language, learning Chinese characters is an essential part of the learning process. There are various approaches to how and when Chinese characters should be ...introduced. Some scholars claim simplified characters should be given priority, while others promote teaching traditional characters first. Yet to some, teaching traditional and simplified characters simultaneously is preferable, while others believe that learning Hanyu Pinyin alone reduces the learning load and advocate the idea that learning characters be postponed to the later stages. This study discusses reading priorities for students of L2 Chinese in an environment that promotes balanced teaching of traditional and simplified characters from scratch. Results show that most learners prefer simplified characters though the number of students who equally acquired both characters in a set is also high. Fewer students prefer traditional characters, whereas texts in Hanyu Pinyin were not students’ preferred choice. Moreover, learners’ text comprehensions were better and more accurate when texts were written in characters.
Članek prinaša synkrisis dveh načinov, s pomočjo katerih učitelji klasičnih jezikov učencem pomagamo pri bralnem razumevanju izvirnih latinskih in starogrških besedil. Prvi način predstavlja postopek ...prevajanja po skladenjski prioriteti, ki ga pri pouku klasičnih jezikov tradicionalno spodbujamo v našem prostoru; drugega povezujemo predvsem z alternativnimi metodami poučevanja klasičnih jezikov (npr. z metodo bralnega pristopa, ki se je uveljavila v anglosaksonskem prostoru) in pomeni tehniko linearnega branja. S soočenjem obeh bralnih tehnik prispevek načenja nekatera temeljna vprašanja didaktike pouka klasičnih jezikov (učnih ciljev, razmerja med prevajanjem in bralnim razumevanjem, specifik branja izvirnih besedil v klasičnih jezikih), ponudi pa tudi nekaj primerov vaj in praktičnih strategij, ki so nam lahko v pomoč pri spodbujanju bralnega razumevanja ter pri senzibiliziranju učencev za branje latinskih in starogrških literarnih besedil.
