Abstract

The current teaching method of ancient Chinese poetry is ineffective as it is mostly confined to textbooks with an emphasis on memorization. Many people have poor practical application skills and struggle to relate ancient Chinese poetry to situations they see in the real world. Therefore, the teaching of ancient Chinese poetry needs to be improved with the use of modern media technology. After researching the affordances of a variety of media, the affordances of mobile and virtual reality are most associated with learning ancient poetry. Therefore, this article initially introduces the affordances of these two media. As for the mobile, there are portability, locationality, interactivity, and communicative. As for VR, there are immersive, spatial-fidelity, interactive, social, and incentive mechanism. Based on the affordances, the article introduces two learning modules. Firstly, it is a mobile module that can take pictures, and locate and then identify scenery with reflections of poetry. This module can encourage users to create poems and cultivate their poetic context. Secondly, it is a VR module that allows users to learn ancient poetry in a fully immersive world. Users can deepen their understanding by experiencing the poetry world in person. Moreover, the module incorporates some of the game’s mechanism especially the incentive affordance. Learners can pick their favorite historical character after completing certain learning tasks. It can encourage users to learn as much as they can.
