A Study On Errors In Mandarin Tones Acquisition By Korean Primary-Chinese Learners

There is a serious problem called "foreign accent" in Chinese pronunciation of Korean middle school students.In order to learn more about the acquisition of Chinese tones by Korean middle students,this thesis firstly taking 141 students in the second year of Baekwoon Middle School in Seoul,Korea as the subject,distributed a questionnaire on the recognition and acquisition of Chinese tones.Then,15 of the students were selected and investigated the acquisition of Chinese tones in monosyllable word and disyllable word through perception test and recording.After analysis,it was found that during the acquisition of Chinese tones by Korean middle school students,the following errors mainly existed:In the perception test,tone2 is most likely to be confused with tone3 in the monosyllable word;In the disyllable word,the error rate of "T3 + T2" is the highest,and tone1 is not easy to distinguish when it is the first syllable;In terms of pronunciation,the tone1 is too long and the tone value is low.Tone2 is also too long,and the tone value is too low with a backward inflection point.Its tone contour is mainly "low rising" or "falling-rising".Tone3's tone range deviates greatly,and the tone value is slightly higher.Tone4' s tone range is too narrow and slightly convex at the beginning;In the disyllable word,tone1 is low and not stable enough,and the error of the preceding syllable's tone range is large.The value of tone2 is low,and there is also a both backward and low inflection point.The preceding syllable's tone contour is the shape of "shallow concave",and the subsequent one is "deep concave".Tone3's tone value is slightly higher,and the tone range of the subsequent syllable deviates greatly.The errors of tone4 mainly lies in the tone range of boys,especially the preceding one,similar to that of the monosyllable word.Based on the results of the research above,this thesis analyzes the causes of the errors from the negative transfer of mother tongue,learning and teaching.Finally,according to the errors in perception and pronunciation,the key and difficult points of tone teaching for Korean local students are raised firstly.Then,combined with the causes of the errors and students' feedback, the issues that should be paid attention to in teaching are given: teaching with the phonetic contrast between Korean and Chinese,training perception and pronunciation parallelly,combining in-class teaching with extra-curricular activities,using scientific teaching methods.
