    The acquisition of Chinese characters has been widely acknowledged as challenging for learners of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) due to their unique logographic nature and the time and effort involved. However, recent advancements in instructional technologies demonstrate a promising role in facilitating the teaching and learning of Chinese characters. This paper examines studies exploring technology-enhanced character teaching and learning (TECTL) through a systematic literature review of relevant publications produced between 2010 and 2021. The synthesized findings shed insights on the research undertaken in the TECTL field, identifying a focus on characters’ component disassembling, re-assembling, and associations among orthography, semantics, and phonology. In addition, learners’ perceptions toward the use of technology and the benefits of various types of technological tools are also discussed in detail. Implications for TECTL are also put forward for future pedagogical practice and exploration

There are several principles in Alexander technique: Recognition of Habit, direction, inhibition, primary control and conscious. There are several movements in the primary control: the semi-supine, the hand on the back of a chair and the monkey position. The method used in this study was Design-Based Research with a qualitative approach that has phenomenological characteristics. The researcher acted as a piano teacher. There are several data collection techniques carried out: interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study are the application of Alexander's development techniques to two adult beginners in piano training in Rancaekek to overcome anxiety disorders in the form of nervous and panic traumatic factors.

    There are not many student-run academic journals, so The Nebraska Educator is excited to provide a forum for researchers, scholars, policymakers, practitioners, teachers, students, and informed observers in education and related fields in educational settings in the United States and abroad. Now in our third year, it is exciting to see the work that continues to be accomplished when those interested in educational research have a venue to share their contributions. To date, articles published in the previous two volumes of our journal have been downloaded more than 7,000 times by readers all across the globe. The Nebraska Educator has four main goals with its published research: (1) to familiarize students with the publication process, (2) to faciliate dialogue between emerging scholars, educators, and the larger community, (3) to promote collegiality and interdisciplinary awareness, and (4) to establish a mechanism for networking and collaboration. This publication would not have been possible without the guidance and assistance from faculty, staff, and graduate students across the College of Education and Human Sciences. We are also grateful for the work of Paul Royster at Love Library, who assisted us with the final formatting and online publication of our journal.

    According to Krashen's affective filter hypothesis, students who are highly motivated have a strong sense of self, enter a learning context with a low level of anxiety, and are much more likely to become successful language acquirers than those who do not. Affective factors, such as motivation, attitude, and anxiety, have a direct impact on foreign language acquisition. Horwitz et al. (1986) mentioned that many language learners feel anxious when learning foreign languages. Thus, this study recruits 100 college students to fill out the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) to investigate language learning anxiety. Then, this study designs and develops an affective tutoring system (ATS) to conduct an empirical study. The study aims to improve students’ learning interest by recognizing their emotional states during their learning processes and provide adequate feedback. It is expected to enhance learners' motivation and interest via affective instructional design and then improve their learning performance

    Opening all your senses : an exploration of the multimodal approach to engage students' learning of Chinese as a foreign language

    This study explores how to use multimodal approaches to engage students in learning Chinese as a foreign language in Australian schools. It includes exploration of different modes that can be utilised in class, the ways that various modes can be integrated to engage students, and the connection between the suitability of modes and teaching content. To find the answers to the research questions, a two-cycle action research was designed. Data is collected mainly from documents, observations, reflective journals, questionnaires, and focus group interviews. It was then analysed through a qualitative method, and three data-driven themes are presented: the picture-based multimodal approach, the gesture-based multimodal approach, and the touch-based multimodal approach. The multimodal approach shows its strength in engaging students by stimulating students’ senses with various modes and forming a relaxing–competitive learning environment in class. It is also found that supplementary methods “ćșŠâ€ du, teaching strategies, etc.) are needed to maximise the effects of the multimodal approach. This research provides several evidence-driven practical multimodal methods for other teachers of Chinese to draw upon to engage their students in teaching Chinese as a foreign language classes
