To be specific, I investigate those learners in specific acquisition situation and I collect data by reading and recording,distinguishing tone on the basis of the recordings. Under the construction of the contrastive analysis and other theories in SLA(second language acquisition), I significantly analyze the order and the form of those errors in tone, discover the reasons for these errors and finally find solution to tone teaching.Therefore, I hope to be able to Arabic-speaking Chinese learners were tone areas the research, in order to better guide the teaching practice. Egyptian Arabic-speaking college students confronts various problems in the process of learning Chinese tone,As a result,teaching tone in two completely different language system conditions, it not only becomes the focus of teaching, but also difficulties.Egyptian Arabic-speaking college students learn Chinese tones especially whispered tones will often give rise to various errors. Consequently, to improve the tone of teaching Chinese international education,it is essential for chief teachers to explain certain principles and conceptual knowledge to non-native Chinese learners and teachers should try to establish a comprehensive tone teaching system, which will be throughout the acquisition process.This paper, bases on the author’s own teaching practice in Arab Republic of Egypt’s Suez Canal University Confucius Institute and gains the assistance of other colleagues from outside universities on conducting surveys.This paper further tests freshman, sophomore, junior these three different stages overall 80 Chinese learners,identifies errors by listening to recordings of tests and experiment and then conducts a survey of Chinese tone system.Combined with the relevant knowledge to analyze their voice tone errors of form, and learn the Chinese language a comparison of second language acquisition theory, inter-language errors in its analysis of the form,through the summary of proposed teaching practice effective teaching strategies.
