Abstract/Summary:
Tone teaching is one of the difficulties in the teaching of Chinese phonetics,especially for learners whose mother tongue is non-tonal,it is difficult to get rid of the pronunciation of "foreign accent" in a short time.For teachers,grasping the law of "foreign accent" can effectively guide learners to recognize the problems in pronunciation and improve the efficiency of tone teaching.This article selected 76 students of the Confucius Institute in Armenia as the research object.Using the listening test and recording test to collect students’ information in the questionnaire survey.Using the methods of listening analysis and Praat software analysis,we studied the actual pronunciation of the learner’s Chinese single-character and the two-character tones.On this basis,we master the process and laws on the acquisition of Chinese tones in Russian background students.We hope to explore effective teaching suggestions for "foreign accent" of Russian background students.In which the single-character tones including the four Chinese tones,the two-character tones including qingsheng have twenty different combinations in total.This article consists of five parts: Chapter One introduces the purpose and significance of the research,the research review,etc.Chapter Two introduces the experimental design of Armenian students’ acquisition of Chinese tones,which includes:experimental subjects,materials,tools and data sampling and processing.Chapter Three analyzes the experimental results,uses Praat software to draw phonetic images and perform visual image analysis.Chapter Four proposes five teaching suggestions: Praat software diagram method,whole body reaction method,musical reading method,singing and reading method,video imitation method etc.Chapter Five is the summary of this article,summarizes the research results and the deficiencies.
