A Survey Of The Mastery Of Chinese Individual Quantifiers Used By Thai Students

The theme of this detailed research lies in seven individual quantifiers,namely "ge,tiao,gen,ba,zhi,kuai,and zhang".This study focuses on Thai learners' mastery of Chinese and application of individual quantifiers in Mandarin,explores the distribution of nouns used in collocation,and then makes statistics and classification of errors in the corpus,and then analyzes the causes of biased errors.The actual statistical data show that there are roughly three types of errors in the corpus,such as incorrect addition and misuse of quantifiers and improper collocation within sentences.By means of sorting and analyzing the corpus of Jinan University,and assisting with the method of questionnaire survey,this paper investigates and studies the mastery of individual classifiers of Chinese learners in the teaching centers of Maharashakan Prefecture in northeastern Thailand.On the basis of a series of pragmatic statistics,the seven classifiers are arranged in the order of accuracy from high to low as follows:ge>zhang>zhi>ba>gen>kuai>tiao.In the end,the Chinese tutoring volunteers in the Confucius Institute were investigated by some interviews to figure out the barriers in the teaching process of individual quantifiers.A plural of detailed suggestions have been put forward from the perspectives of teachers,teaching materials and tutoring at last.
