| The relationship between China and Congo is very close,the cooperation between the two countries has been deepening in various aspects,and Chinese language is also becoming very popular in Congo.For this reason,the Congolese education department is attaching more and more importance to teaching Chinese language in Congo.Although,the number of Congolese people learning Chinese language has been increasing in the recent years,but local teachers and targeted Chinese teaching materials are extremely deficient,consequently,it can be seen that the level of Chinese learners is very poor,and Chinese teaching successful rate is weak.To this context,how to teach Chinese language in Congo and which targeted and comprehensive strategies to use is still a very big challenge.Linguists said,one of the main reasons that influence people learning a foreign language is generally the negative influence of the learners’ mother tongue.Linguists also think that,the greater is the difference between the learners’ mother tongue,the more difficult it will be to learn the target language.Kituba is one of the most frequently used languages in Congo,and its influence on Congolese learners’ learning Chinese language cannot be neglected.Chinese language and Kituba being two entirely different languages,and Phonetics being the most basic requirement when learning a given foreign language,we found it well to search about Chinese Phonetics and Kituba Phonetics so as to analyze the similarities and differences between Kituba and Chinese Phonetics,putting forward some practical,effective and helpful suggestions to Kituba native speakers in the process of teaching and learning Chinese language.In addition,to help Kituba native speakers to correct their Chinese phonetics pronunciation errors and master the appropriate pronunciation,we finally proposed some technical strategies and advice.We deeply hope that this thesis will be helpful and provide some solutions to teachers engaged in teaching the Chinese language in the republic of the Congo.We also hope that it will be helpful to all the Chinese language teachers who want to know more about Kituba Phonetics.Furthermore,we hope that this thesis will contribute to the promotion of the comparative study of Chinese and the other foreign languages,so that more foreign students can master Chinese Phonetics and promote the development of teaching Chinese in the world. |
