Study On "Zhiyou" And "Zhiyao" In Teaching Chinese As A Foreign Language

There are many studies about “zhiyou” and “zhiyao”, but these studies usuallyanalyze them as conditional conjunction, and discuss which conditional relation theyexpress. There are little studies about analyzing them as words or phrases, and littlestudies analyze their condition in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, but foreignstudents still have many errors about them, so further analysis is necessary.The thesis composed of three parts. The first part analyze “zhiyou” and“zhiyao” with three-plane theory, and give a logical analysis of conditional sentenceswhen use them as conjunction, then on the base of this compare them to reducemixing. Teaching foreign students with fixed collocation, they still will makemistakes on them, so there is necessary to study why combine “zhiyou” with “cai”,why combine “zhiyao” with “jiu”. That can help students comprehend them ratherthan remembering them mechanically. The second part analyzes errors of foreignstudents and search for reasons. The third part would give some advice aboutteaching on the basis of Chinese research and errors analysis of foreign students.
