Analysis On Nepali Students’ Chinese Pronunciation Errors And The Correction Study

As the phenomenon of " the enthusiasm in learning Chinese Language" continues to increase and expand, the major project to promote the internationalization of Chinese language is to strengthen the training of teachers both at home and abroad. And the education for teachers abroad is more important. In order to enhance the level of the internationalization of Chinese language, more and more Chinese volunteer teachers go abroad and teach Chinese language all over the world. The pronunciation teaching is top priority in the basic stage of teaching Chinese language as a foreign language. It is the first stage to learn know about Chinese language for Chinese language learners and will exist in the whole process of Chinese language studying.According to the writer’s Chinese language teaching experience in Mangal Higher Secondary School of Nepal, this thesis selects 12 Nepali students who come from distinct stages in learning Chinese language as study objects in order to investigate their acquisition of Chinese initials, finals and tones. This thesis mainly describes the concrete manifestation of pronunciation errors. We analyze pronunciation errors by comparison with language, second language acquisition theory and inter-language theory. After concluding the causes of errors, we put forward the most effective correction strategies.This thesis investigates Nepali students’ Chinese pronunciation using listening test and recording test,whose results are used to formulate a chart named "interval level of average errors rate" to guide the Chinese language learning. We also follow the principles of Chinese and compare them with native languages in Nepal and English to provide available learning strategies for students to improve the students’ language level.
