马拉维学生“是”字句习得顺序研究及对非洲汉语教学的启示

Study on the Acquisition Order of“Shi(是)”Sentences by Malawian Students and Its Enlightenment to Chinese Language Teaching in Africa

对马拉维学生汉语“是”字句的习得顺序进行分析,并把这一顺序与英语国家学习者进行比较。研究发现,马拉维学生“是”字句习得顺序与英语国家学生存在高度相似性,这说明当前非洲各国的官方语言对非洲汉语学习者影响较大。在当前非洲大陆汉语教学研究相对较滞后的情况下,要实现非洲大陆孔子学院和汉语教学的提质增效,应该坚持“两条腿走路”。一方面,应切实加强非洲自身的汉语教学研究;另一方面,还应充分借鉴、吸收欧美各国的汉语教学经验和相关成果。

Through analyzing the acquisition order of“shi(是)”sentences by Chinese language learners in Malawi and comparing this order with learners from English-speaking countries,it is found that the order of acquisition of“shi(是)”sentences by students in Malawi is highly similar to that of students from English-speaking countries,thus we can speculate that the metropolitan languages,namely the current official languages of African countries,have huge impact on Chinese language learners in African countries.The research work of Chinese language teaching in Africa is lagging behind,and the quality of Chinese language teaching there is relatively problematic.Therefore,in order to achieve the“improvement of quality and efficiency”of Confucius Institutes and Chinese language teaching in Africa,we should walk on two legs,which is,on the one hand,to strengthen the research work of Chinese language teaching in Africa,and on the other hand,to learn from the Chinese teaching experience and research results of the metropolitan countries such as Britain,France,and Portugal,to guide Chinese language teaching and research in Africa.
