In recent years,With the increasingly close economic,political and cultural relations between China and Ukraine,Chinese is very popular in Ukraine.More and more Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms are set up in Ukrainian universities,and Chinese attracts a large number of Ukrainian students because of its uniqueness and interest."Quantifiers" is an indispensable class of words in Chinese.Quantifiers are numerous and flexible in use,which is the key in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.Therefore,quantifiers is particularly important in the primary teaching in Ukraine.On the one hand,Chinese "quantifier" is the "characteristic" of Chinese.There is no concept of quantifier in Ukrainian and Russian,but only some quantifier nouns,and their meanings and usages are quite different.On the other hand,few monographs or papers on Ukrainian students’ acquisition of Chinese quantifiers can’t provide concrete theoretical guidance and support for Ukrainian quantifier teaching practice.Therefore,the author tries to discuss the types and causes of errors in Ukrainian students and explore effective Chinese quantifier teaching strategies,hoping to provide some reference for Ukrainian quantifier teaching,especially for the "quantifiers’ " teaching.During the teaching the Chinese "quantifiers’ " at Confucius Institute in Vinnitsa,Ukraine,the author collected the error corpus by means of questionnaire survey,written homework and oral communication about quantifiers,and error analysis and comparative analysis are carried out on the corpus.Found out the error rules of Ukrainian students in the acquisition of commonly used quantifiers,summarized the types and causes of errors,and put forward the teaching strategies of commonly used quantifiers for Ukrainian students in the primary stage.This paper is formed by four parts:The first part that introduces the purpose and importance of choosing this point is the first,.the research contents and methods,and the summary of Chinese quantifier research.The second part focuses on the questionnaire of Chinese quantifiers used by Ukrainian students in primary stage,and analyzes the results of the questionnaire.The third part mainly introduces the induction of error types of Ukrainian students’ acquisition of Chinese quantifiers in primary stage including the lack of quantifiers,generalization,misaddition,confusion and the wrong order of quantitative phrases.The fourth part mainly introduces the causes of errors in the acquisition of commonly used quantifiers,and puts forward targeted strategies from teaching principles,teaching methods,teaching materials,teachers and learners’ own quantifier acquisition.The main reasons include internal and external factors.The internal factors include: negative transfer of mother tongue,the influence of learning methed and communication methed.External factors include the arrangement and annotation of teaching materials and teachers’ own factors.
