An Analysis Exploring The Errors Of Using Chinese Connectives For Egyptian-Chinese Language Learners At Both Intermediate And Advanced Level

This paper explores the errors in Chinese connectives, in regards to Egyptian students learning the Chinese language at both Intermediate and Advanced Level. Throughout my research I have conducted this investigation using student writings and answer-based questionnaires, for sufficient language material. An important factor to comprehend is the similarities between Arabic to Chinese, by contrasting connectives in Arabic and Chinese. I've summarized and analyzed the causes of errors, and put forward some suggestions for teaching methods and learning strategies, for future instructions on connectives.Additionally, this research is divided into four chapters. The first chapter summarizes the results concluded for this research topic; it also gives a detailed presentation about the reasons for choosing this topic and its importance along side with its forgotten value. The second chapter is based on the use of corpus, in which I analyzed how Egyptian students both create errors using Chinese connectives as well as the types of errors. The third chapter analyzes the reasons why in fact do Egyptian students fault in constant connectives. Thus the fourth and final chapter presents a proposition of suggestions, to improve teaching methods and give solutions to aid Egyptian students towards the path of proper implementation, of Chinese connectives.Moreover, I began in specifying within the errors, executed by Egyptian students studying connectives and divided them into three sections. Firstly beginning with the mistakes of misuse, absence and miss order. Moving on, I accomplished what I believe are main causes of errors. Commencing with the complexity and difference of the Chinese connectives system, the negative transfer of an Arabic mother tongue and the effect of incorrect teaching along side false materials. This research once more, stresses towards the effect of as I mentioned earlier, the Arabic mother tongue on Egyptian students whom use Chinese connectives, and tries to reveal valid beneficial characteristics for proper acquisition of Chinese connectives.
