Difficulties And Strategies Of Teaching Chinese Initial Consonants To Russian Students

As neighboring countries,China and Russia cooperate very closely in various fields such as economy,science and culture.Among Russian students,the number of people learning Chinese and receiving various professional education in China has been increasing year by year.When learning a foreign language,the learner should study the phonetic course very carefully.The Chinese phonetic system is quite complex and requires a lot of effort.The phonetic systems of Russian and Chinese are very different,especially Chinese initial consonants and Russian consonants.These differences and the negative influence of the mother tongue have led to many errors in the learning of Chinese initial consonants by Chinese learners whose native language is Russian.The purpose of this paper is to explore the teaching of Chinese consonants for students whose mother tongue is Russian,focusing on the typical phonetic errors and their correction methods when Russian students learn Chinese consonants.The first chapter mainly summarizes the history of development of teaching Chinese in Russia,summarizes the current situation of Russian Chinese initial consonants teaching and the characteristics of initial consonants teaching.The second chapter analyzes the difficulties of Russian students in learning Chinese initial consonants through questionnaires and phonetic test.The third chapter consists of three parts: first,a comparative analysis of the Russian and Chinese phonetic systems,a detailed description of the Chinese initial pronunciation method,and an introduction to the main differences and characteristics of the two languages in pronunciation;secondly,based on the results of questionnaires and tests,and the data obtained from the comparison of the two languages,find out the mistakes that Russian students often do in the process of mastering Chinese initial consonants;finally,determine the main causes of these mistakes.The fourth chapter mainly focuses on the difficulties of teaching the initial consonant mentioned in the third chapter,and proposes corresponding solutions.According to the results of the research and phonetic test,combined with the characteristics of Russian and Chinese phonetic systems,the strategy of teaching Chinese initial consonants to Russian students is determined.
