Japanese Students Learning Chinese Modal Particle Errors Analysis And Teaching Advice

The Chinese Modal Particle is an important part in the language system. It is one of the most difficult points for foreign students to learn, because of the quantities of The Chinese Modal Particles, their complex usage and kaleidoscopic meanings. In addition, there is no consensus as to how to define and categorize The Chinese Modal Particle. Therefore, starting with a comparative analysis of the Chinese and Japanese Modal Particles, such as "ma(吗)","ne(呢)","ba(吧)","a(啊)""de(的)","le(了)", this thesis is attempted to explore the transfer of mother language on Japanese students learning The Chinese Modal Particles. The questionnaires were designed and issued to fifty Japanese students about The Chinese Modal Particle learning. Based on the analysis of the results, the paper identified four kinds of errors. And finally, pedagogical suggestions and measures were proposed. This thesis is composed of the following parts:Chapter1Introduction makes a summary about previous studies of modal particles and theoretical basis, and defines the scope of this thesis according to the research purpose.Chapter2Makes a comparative analysis of Chinese Modal Particles and Japanese sentence-ending particles in terms of the differences and commonalities in modal particles between Chinese and Japanese, and examines how mother language affects on learning modal particles.Chapter3Reports the results of Japanese students learning modal particles by questionnaire survey, and makes an error analysis of the results.In light of the previous research findings, Chapter4makes suggestions on how to teach Chinese Modal Participles to Japanese students.Chapter5concludes with the summary of the research and points out the need for further research.
