However, unlike Latin language, Chinese characters contain appearance, sound and meaning within one sinogram. Linguistic Ju(1985) and Xu(2008) indicated that using Latin language linguistic structure to explain Chinese is not suitable.”Sinogram Unit Theory”which emphasizes the importance of Chinese characters emerged in the end of 20th centrury. And the sinogram-based teaching approach also tries to find an effective way to reinforce literacy skills and to expand vocabulary by emphasizing the systematic structures of Chinese characters. This study developed a sinogram-based teaching material for CFL learners. This study also carried out a teaching experiment to ethnic Chinese learners at National Taiwan Normal University, in order to observe learners’feedback and the effects from sinogram-based teaching approach. The study results showed that compared with original teaching approach, sinogram-based teaching approach did lead to a better outcomes and the learners also showed positive attitudes towards sinogram-based teaching approach.
