Writing Task

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the alignment effects of the continuation task on L2 Chinese writing. 60 participants were divided into a continuation group and a summary writing group. The former was required to continue a text with its ending removed, while the latter was required to summarize the text. The effect of the tasks was measured by examining the CSL (Chinese as a second language) learners’ correct use of vocabulary and the key grammar structure: the ba construction (“把” 字句). The study found that the continuation group made significant improvement from the pretest to the posttest, while the summary writing group did not. Moreover, learners in the continuation writing group produced more sophisticated words than those in the summary writing group and used key grammar structures with a greater degree of creativity than those in the summary writing group. These findings provide evidence for the language learning potential of the continuation task, which shows a better effect than the summary writing task.

Chinese Writing

Xu Xu and Wumingshi were among the most widely read authors in China during and after the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). Despite being an integral part of the Chinese literary scene, their bestselling fiction has, however, been given scant attention in histories of Chinese writing. This book is the first extensive study of Xu Xu and Wumingshi in English or any other Western language and it re-establishes their importance within the popular Chinese literature of the 1940s. Their romantic novels and short stories were often set abroad and featured a wide range of stereotypes, from pirates, spies and patriotic soldiers to ghosts, spirits and exotic women who confounded the mostly cosmopolitan male protagonists. Christopher Rosenmeier’s detailed analysis of these popular novels and short stories shows that such romances broke new ground by incorporating and adapting narrative techniques and themes from the Shanghai modernist writers of the 1930s, notably Shi Zhecun and Mu Shiying. The study thereby contests the view that modernism had little lasting impact on Chinese fiction, and it demonstrates that the popular literature of the 1940s was more innovative than usually imagined, with authors, such as those studied here, successfully crossing the boundaries between the popular and the elite, as well as between romanticism and modernism, in their bestselling works.
