Analysis Of The Errors And Teaching Strategies Of Middle- And High-level International Students' Acquisition Of Homonymous Verbs

Vocabulary teaching has always been one of the focuses and difficulties in the field of Teaching Chinese as A Foreign Language.It's almost impossible to avoid errors for overseas students during the process of vocabulary acquisition,among which the learning of synonyms makes up a critical part of the whole vocabulary learning.When distinguishing synonyms,students tend to make ranges of mistakes in the respect of semantics,grammar,pragmatics,etc.In these respects,the acquisition of the near-synonymous disyllabic verbs with the same morpheme has become a main puzzle for the majority of students,which,therefore,draws our special attention to the study of this part.The intermediate and advanced stages where the students are are quite critical for acquiring synonyms,during which the problems of learning the near-synonymous disyllabic verbs with the same morpheme by students have become obvious and tense.Based on the previous studies as well as the study of these students at this learning stage,this article has calculated out 20 groups of near-synonymous disyllabic verbs with the same morpheme for intermediate stage and 31 groups for advanced stage from the Development of Chinese and some other advanced textbooks.Through adopting various methods such as questionnaire,error analysis,measurement statistics,and inductive method,we might summarize the errors into errors in pragmatics and errors in structures.Among the former,rational meaing and connotative meaning are included;as for the latter,common errors can be misuse of part of speech,absence of objects,and disorganizing of sentence structures,etc.Based on the study of different errors,the reasons why students tend to make language mistakes can be summarized into several parts,such as the negative language transfer,negative transfer of the target language knowledge,absence of the explanation by teachers as well as the explanation by some textbooks,and so on.At the end of this article,four feasible teaching strategies are put forward,combining with the real conditions of class teaching.The teachers play a leading and indispensable part in instructing the students to gain a better understanding of what they are learning,which,therefore,reminds we teachers to pay attention to stage teaching,in which we should be concise and to the point and guide the students to practice and consolidate more.Teaching Chinese as a foreign language should never be just a piece of paper.The most effective way for students to grasp the use of the near-synonymous disyllabic verbs with the same morpheme is through teaching practices.This article is written in the hope of shedding lights on such aim so as to pave the way for the better understanding of this field.
