Chinese Pinyin Acquisition Errors among Native Speakers of Swahili in Kenya

本研究分析了肯尼亚学习者在学习汉语拼音系统时所犯的偏误。本文数据收集于肯尼亚一所私立语言学院。收集的数据用于对比分析以及通过对斯瓦希里语和汉语的语音进行比较,寻找潜在发音难点的位置,以此为研究。通过这样的分析,我们可以更好地理解肯尼亚学生在学习标准汉语过程中遇到的典型发音难题,从而指出实际上可能阻碍了其可理解性和语言流利性的因素。研究发现,第一语言(L1)干扰是导致肯尼亚学习者偏误的原因。据此,提出了教学建议,帮助肯尼亚的汉语学习者应对第一语言干扰。

This study analyzes the errors made by Kenyan learners in learning the Chinese Pinyin system. Data was collected from a private language institute in Kenya and used for comparative analysis and for identifying the location of potential pronunciation difficulties by comparing Swahili and Chinese phonetics. Such analysis helps us better understand the typical pronunciation challenges faced by Kenyan students in the process of learning standard Chinese, thereby highlighting the factors that may actually hinder their comprehensibility and fluency. The study finds that the first language (L1) interference is the cause of the errors made by Kenyan learners. Based on this, teaching suggestions are proposed to help Kenyan learners cope with the first language interference.
