The Error Analysis And Teaching Advice For Intermediate And Advanced Levels Korean Students Learning Chinese And Korean Homographs

South Korea is geographically close to China.It began to adopt Chinese characters as its main writing system more than two thousand years ago.Currently,more than 50 per cent of the Korean lexicon originates from Chinese,and many of these words are Chinese and Korean homographs when written in Chinese characters.Such words can be written in the same way with similar pronunciations and Korean learners have the advantage of learning such Chinese words.However,as the meanings of homographs are not always the same in Chinese and Korean,they can also have some disruptive effects on learners.This interference,that is,the negative transfer of vocabulary from a mother tongue to a second language,is particularly evident in intermediate and advanced levels Korean students learning Chinese.Based on the theory of interlanguage and combined with the theory of linguistic comparative analysis,this paper investigates the errors involving Chinese and Korean homographs among intermediate and advanced levels Korean students by means of corpus investigation and questionnaire surveying.It also seeks solutions in order to reduce errors,and suggests adopting different corrective methods depending on different types of errors.Lastly,it puts forward teaching strategies and specific teaching suggestions for ways of teaching Chinese vocabulary to Korean students.The research target is to use 97 homographs between Chinese and Korean with relatively high frequency of use.According to the meaning of these words in Chinese and Korean languages,they are divided into three different types.Through the investigation and analysis of the HSK dynamic composition corpus of the Beijing Language and Culture University,28 words with relatively high error rate have been selected and incorporated into test papers to investigate Chinese and Korean homographs' learning among 60 Korean students of intermediate and advanced levels at Shanghai International Studies University.
