A Comparative Study For The Chinese Phonetic Teaching

In recent years, China and Thailand have more communication in political, economic and cultural. Vigorously encouraged by Tai and royal family to learn Chinese, the people who can speak or will to learn mandarin are becoming larger.Learning Chinese phonetic is the first step to learn Chinese. It is also primary premise to train students in listening, speaking, reading, writing and social communication. In order to have a better way to learn Chinese, compare and analysis Chinese and Thai phonetic comprehensively is very necessary. At this stage, academic research in the Chinese Phonetic Teaching has made certain achievements, but still need to be improved (not quite detailed). More efforts should be paid specifically for high school students in Thailand to learn mandarin.I engaged in teaching high school students in Thailand on teaching practice. By through corpus collection and my personal teaching experience, focusing on the compare of Chinese and Thai, I finally come up with some discovery, suggestions and solving measures.The introductory section of this article outlines the background to the study, the purpose and significance of the study, the theoretical basis of existing research results review and research.In the first part, this paper briefly describes the historical background of Thai Language and Sino-Thai relationship based on Prangku school.In the second part, this paper discusses the phonetic error analyzing and phonetic comparison. This part contains three topics:tones, consonant and vowels. Based on my high school students’ error about initials, finals and tones, I also make a specific hierarchy both in Thai and Chinese. I also propose some appropriate teaching focus and countermeasures.In the third part, this paper illustrate some views and recommendations to help Thai learners in order to reduce the pronunciation errors occur.
