An Experimental Report On Mandarin Phonetics Acquisition Of Nigera Igbo-Speaking Students

Mandarin phonetics learning is kind of the basis of learning Chinese,but also an important research object in teaching Chinese as a second language,and more important is it is a difficult problem for foreign students to learn Mandarin.The comparative study of Mandarin phonetics and Chinese learners' native language phonetics has important academic value for Chinese learning.The content of this paper focus on the experimental study on mandarin phonetic acquisition of Nigeria Igbo-speaking students.And the paper is based on the theory of second language acquisition,through the experimental phonological research methods,in-depth field investigation in Africa,collected the first-hand voice data.After returning home,this paper,according to phonetics theory,have analyzed the differences between Igbo and madarin phonemes,found out that the similarities and differences between the two,and predicted the errors that may occur in the Igbo-background Mandarin learners.For example,under the influence of the mother tongue phonetics system,the mandarin acquirer's plosive will appear voiced phenomenon,and there's no voiceless and voiced differences in consonants,and the difficulty will be the/y/voice and the mandarin third tone.Then,taking the students of Igbo-speaking as the research object at the International Communication College of Sichuan Normal University,with the Feifeng language analyzing software which was developed by Shanghai Normal University,this paper collected the sample of Mandarin phonetic acquisition.Through the listening and Parrat speech analysis software,this paper analyzed Igbo-speaking students Mandarin phonetic error situation,and demonstrated the previous part of the forecast.Finally,according to the errors,this paper analyzed the reasons,and the corresponding suggestions are put forward for the teaching of the Igbo students,which enriched and developed the phonetic practice of Chinese as a foreign language.
