Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of multimedia instructional strategies on foreign novices' learning performance and cognitive load in Chinese characters. Two types of multimedia strategies, including visual-cue (ViS) and voice-cue (VoS), and two types of practice, including visual-cue (ViP) and voice-cue (VoP), were employed in the experimental instruction. Participants were 109 foreign novices and were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental groups. The results showed that the VoS X VoP learners performed better than their counterparts in Chinese character stroke and writing.
