ERROR ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS AT THAI NGUYEN UNIVERSITY - SCHOOL OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES WHEN STUDYING CHINESE TONGUE TWISTER SOUND AND IMPLICATIONS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING

Abstract

Tongue twister sound is one of types of sound variations in Chinese dialect. It affects semantics, syntax and rhetorical nuance. Tongue twister sound is commonly used in oral language, either in daily communication or in specific language expressions such as: host, lecture, etc. The words associated with the tongue twister sound contribute to the abundance of vocabulary, which has positive effects on the development of the modern Chinese. However, due to local limitations, tongue twister sound is one of the difficulties in teaching Chinese oral proficiency, and is also one of the major obstacles for learners. Within the scope of this paper, through the study of learner's difficulties in tongue twister sound, we hope to be able to find out the causes, then we can provide implications in teaching in order to not only enhance teaching results but also help learners study better and improve their Chinese language skills.
