'le', 'zhe' and 'guo' are the typical aspectual markers in Chinese, which are the hot spots in Chinese grammatical circles. The three aspectual markers are the difficulties to the foreigners and they are the important grammatical items in Chinese as L2 acquisition.Not only based on the former achievements of 'le', 'zhe' and 'guo' themselves, but also based on the research of Chinese as L2 acquisition, this dissertation indicates the problems and deficiencies in basic research and second language acquisition research and analyses the relations among the basic research, SLA research and the aspectual marker's teaching. Based on the corpus of Chinese interlanguage of students abroad, we make error analysis in the learners' acquisition of 'le', 'zhe' and 'guo'. We find that there are high error rate in the three aspectual markers' acquisition, and the overuse of 'le', 'zhe' and 'guo' is the most prominent in all errors, which are 71.72%, 57.95% and 37.44%, respectively. We classify the errors into types such as overuse, misinformation, misordering, etc. We explain the sources of the errors which main includes the L1 transfer, the complication of aspectual marker itself, the deficiency in basic research, the teaching method and the individual differences. According to the statistics of the errors in different learning stage, we find that there are a sequence curve in learner's acquisition of 'le', 'zhe' and 'guo', in which the errors is reducing little by little. But the error's reducing curve of 'le' is not apparent because of its complication. In a word, 'le' is the most difficult to acquire in the three aspectual markers.Chapter Three suggests that it should arrange proper grammatical items in different stage, compare the related grammatical items, and pay attention to the aspectual characteristics in Chinese.
