An Analysis Of Errors In Classification Word For Elementary Chinese Learners

Classification words are a kind of unique words in modern Chinese,They are numerous and using them is complex and changeable.Chinese learners often regard Classification words as the difficulty of learning Chinese,Especially for Portuguese-speaking Chinese learners,there are always various problems in the study and use of Classification words.As the object of the investigation,I chose the Elementary Class 2 students of Confucius Institute of Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil.From the textbook "Contemporary Chinese",i selected nine Classification words designed at this level to design a questionnaire for Investigating the errors,sorting out the errors in the questionnaire,and summarizing the five common types of errors,including misuse,omission,multi-use,location error,and recognition error.For the different types of errors,the author has four main reasons: the complexity of the quantifier itself,the incomplete writing of the teaching materials,the improper teaching strategies of the teachers,and the improper learning strategies of the students.Therefore,on this basis,some suggestions are made for the teaching of Chinese quantifiers in the primary stage from the two directions of teaching and teaching materials.I hope this article can provide some help to the study of Chinese learners and Chinese classification words.
