Using Digital Pictures to Enhance Students’ Chinese Writing Skills

In the past, it was not uncommon to take one image to represent an essay’s contents. When writing an essay, an image is invariably formed in the mind. Using a qualitative descriptive method, a relationship between the number of digital images in the essay and the utilization of the essay was researched for 55 students. The results showed that the number of pictures was proportional to the number of words and the flow of the story in an essay but inversely proportional to the student’s mastery of grammar skills. Such results provide a reference for teachers to pay attention to teaching grammar to use digital images in an essay.
