See that sign?A: Oh, thanks a lot.A:Excuse me,it's me again.I'm sorry I need some more information if you don't mind? B:Not at all.A:Thanks.Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?B:Well,it depends on the traffic of course.But it usually costs about forty dollars.A: Forty dollars?

Hmm. It was pretty quiet. Not many people lived here then. Karen: These days, the population is growing fast.Mr. Lee: Yeah. I bet they'll tear down all these old buildings soon.

He moves his head from side to side when you talk to him. You know,.like this.F: Maybe it means he doesn’t understand you.M: No, I don’t think so.F: Or it could mean he doesn’t agree with you.M: Actually, people from India sometimes move their heads from side to side when they agree with what you’re saying.F: Oh, so that’s what it means!Ron: So how are things at school, Raj? Raj: Oh, pretty good, actually. Ron: Do you find it easy to communicate with people? Raj: Most of the time, though there are some things I find a bit unusual. For example, the way that people end a conversation. You know, they’ll say things like “Hey, let’s get together soon.”At first, I thought that they were inviting me to do something, but then I realized it’s just a way of saying goodbye.

I’m going to pass this car in front of us. It’s going too slow. Now I wonder what that sign up ahead means. F: It may mean, you’ve got to take a left in this lane.M: Or maybe it means you can turn left if you want to. I think I’ll just go straight. M: um.

对初级阶段韩国留学生汉语口语语段衔接手段的考察和分析
对初级阶段韩国留学生汉语口语语段衔接手段的考察和分析[摘要]本文采用篇章语言学的理论和方法对中介语口语语段进行分析,试图发现初级阶段韩国留学生口语语段链接手段的使用情况和特点,并从逻辑连接成分这一具体角度上挖掘其使用的特点并进行了偏误分析。
[关键词]中介语口语语段分析常模参照衔接手段逻辑连接成分偏误分析一、选题对外汉语教学界对于如何进行语段语篇教学的需求越来越急切。
本文将研究限定在了对初级阶段韩国留学生口语语段的范围上。
二、研究方法(一)关于所选语料的一些说明本文所采用的中介语口语语料来自于对两名韩国汉语学习者为期一个月的辅导课口语录音转写。
两个人的汉语水平基本上处于初级阶段。
每次课上老师限定一个话题,学生自己组织语言展开话题。
最后9个话题一共收集了大概五千多字的语料。
(二)研究对象的确定衔接是一种语义上的联系,有两重意思:一种是语义上的联系,体现了语篇的连贯性;另一种是衔接纽带,是衔接的具体形式,属于语篇本身的、形式上的特点。
本文所讨论的主要是后一种意义上的衔接,一般称为"衔接手段,Halliday&Hasan给出了5种类型的衔接,即指称(reference)、替代(substitution),省略(ellipsis)、连接(conjunction)和词汇衔接(lexical cohesion)。
本文主要涉及句法和词汇层面的衔接手段,包括指称、替代、省略、逻辑连接和词汇衔接。
三、中介语口语语段衔接手段总体使用特点(一)分析方法为了更清楚地说明分析方法,在此以收集到的九个话题中的一个话题"送礼物"为例,进行分析。
而对其他语料的考察则均采用此种方法。
话题8:礼物表1:主题链之间的衔接情况表2:主题链内小句之间的衔接情况对以上数据进行汇总后,即可归纳出话题为"礼物"的口语语段主题链间和主题链内部的小句间所使用的衔接手段的总体情况。
这一情况包括各类衔接手段使用的数量及在总数中的百分比,如表3和表4:表3:主题链之间的各衔接手段使用情况表4:主题链内小句之间各衔接手段使用情况(二)常模参照语段衔接手段总体使用情况描述中介语口语语段衔接手段使用特点需要有一个常模参照。

留学生汉语口语偏误案例分析
留学生汉语口语偏误案例分析——以《世界青年说》TK11的口语为例留学生汉语口语偏误案例分析——以《世界青年说》TK11的口语为例1摘要对在华留学生而言,运用标准的汉语流畅地进行表达是学习汉语的主要目标,而对教师而言,重视留学生的口语偏误,分析其原因,反思教学,将大大提高教学的效率,帮助学生顺利实现学习目标。
作为中高级汉语水平的留学生代表,《世界青年说》中的TK11在节目中的发言反映了在华留学生汉语学习上的问题,他们在语音、词汇和语法等方面仍存在较多的偏误,甚至大部分偏误与其初、中期的学习有关,这些偏误在目的语国家的学习环境下都很难被消除,学习时如不及时发现和解决,问题将伴随学习者的整个学习过程,导致将来的学习出现石化现象,笔者感到做此项调查研究的必要性和迫切性。
本文共分为五章。
第一章,对关于留学生口语偏误的国内研究现状进行总结;第二章,立足于相关文献和资料,说明口语偏误的定义和类别;第三章,以《世界青年说》TK11的口语为语料,采用统计分析、偏误分析等方法,分析留学生口语中的偏误,其中包含语音、词汇、语法等方面,总结出口语偏误的原因;第四章,根据研究结果,提出对汉语口语教学有可行性的建议。
第五章是结语。
关键词:偏误;语音;词汇;语法;对外汉语教学1语料转写自江苏卫视《世界青年说》2015-2017年的节目视频。

A Case Study of Chinese Speaking Errors of Foreign Students -- Take the Spoken Language of TK11 of World Youth Talk as anExampleAbstractFor foreign students studying in China, using standard Chinese to express fluently is the main goal of learning Chinese. For teachers, paying attention to the oral errors of foreign students, analyzing their causes and reflecting on teaching will greatly improve the efficiency of teaching and help students to achieve their learning goals smoothly. As a representative of middle and senior level Chinese students, TK11's speech in the A Bright World reflects the problems in Chinese learning of overseas students in China. They still have many errors in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, and most of them are related to their early and middle-term learning. Even in the learning environment of the target country, these biases are difficult to eliminate. If they are not found and solved in time, the problems will accompany the whole learning process of learners, leading to fossilization in future learning. The author thinks that doing this research is necessary and urgent.This paper is divided into five chapters. The author mainly sums up the present studying situation in oral Chinese errors of foreign students in the first chapter; in the second chapter, based on the relevant literature and materials, the author will explain the definition and category of oral errors; in the third chapter, The author takes the spoken language of TK11 in A Bright World as the corpus, and analyzes the errors in the spoken English of foreign students by means of statistical analysis and error analysis, including pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, and summarizes the reasons for the errors in the spoken English. In the fourth chapter, there are some possible suggestions on oral Chinese teaching based on the research results. The fifth chapter is the conclusion.Keywords: Corpus; Error; Pronunciation; Vocabulary; Grammar; Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language目录一、引言 (1)(一)选题缘由 (1)(二)研究现状 (1)(三)研究内容和研究意义 (3)(四)研究方法和语料来源 (3)二、《世界青年说》TK11口语偏误分析 (3)(一)口语偏误的定义 (3)(二)语音偏误分析 (4)(三)词汇偏误分析 (10)(四)语法偏误分析 (13)三、《世界青年说》TK11口语偏误原因分析 (15)(一)语音偏误原因 (15)(二)词汇偏误原因 (16)(三)语法偏误原因 (17)四、对汉语口语教学的建议 (17)五、结语 (18)参考文献 (19)谢辞 (20)一、引言(一)选题缘由近年来,到华学习汉语的留学生与日俱增。

It contains more than just a wonderful meal, a sightseeing tour or a shopping trip. Good hospitality events can impress clients in a unique manner in and outside of the office.When entertaining clients, we should decide the types of activities according to their interest and favorites. Moreover, these activities should help us achieve our business objectives, for example, we can have an intimate discussion about business with our clients during a meal in a cozy compartment where both where both sides tend to be more relaxed. In addition, we have to mix business with pleasure effectively so our clients won’t feel that we are too purposeful.Cost is anther importan t factor when designing activities for clients. Higher expenses don’t necessarily to greater satisfaction, and in some cases, the clients will be overwhelmed with our kindness. Therefore, when entertaining clients, sincerity appears to be more important, upon which a long and a steady business relationship is based.Topic B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Choosing retail premises to rent●Location●Length of contract【思路点拨】【词汇&短语】房东landlord 利润空间profit margin租户tenant 房屋结构building structure可持续发展sustainable development 合同到期exploration of contract繁荣boom prosperity 续签合同renew the contract租金rent 押金deposit【句型点击】●观点阐述Well, it seems to me that…….T hat’s true, but on the other hand…..●追加观点That’s just what/all I was thinking…..Well, the point I’m trying to make it that……Another thing I want to mention is……【参考范例】When aiming to choose retail premises, you should always put the location on the top of your list. An ideal retail premises should be situated in the downtown district or a big residential area where the sources of the customers is guaranteed, in China, A lot of businessman believe in Fengshui and they think a good location is vital to the success of business.Besides, the length of contract is also an important factor in choosing retail premises because the retailer need time to develop market and customers. A steady and uninterrupted business environment is most desired, and a long-term contract will ensure the retailer’s sustainable development.What’s more, rent and means of payment should never be overlooked, retailers in general have a big cash flow, therefore, a reasonable rent and flexible means of payment are good for their capital turnover. A cooperative landlord is preferred and necessary for a win-win situation.Topic C: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Deciding on packaging for products●Image●Production process【思路点拨】【词汇&短语】包装材料wrapper,packaging material 不可再生资源non-renewable resources包装设计package design 有利环境的environmental-friendly顾客的青睐customer favor 肤浅的,表明的superficial【句型点击】●自然过渡How shall I put it? 怎么说呢?Actually…..That’s just how I see it …..●个人观点Personally, I thi nk…..Frankly, I think….【参考范例】Packing of products concerns the fate of products because it arouses people’s desire for purchase. When deciding on packaging for products, we should take several things into consideration.First of all, the image catches the eye of potential customers, people are sometimes skin deep when surrounded by a variety of products, their decisions are simply based upon the packaging, therefore a thoughtful design in color, shape and packaging materials is crucial in winn ing customer’s favor.On the other hand, the cost of packaging should be carefully dealt with because it is contained in the prices of the products. Increased price will make the products less competitive in a buyer’s market. After all, in comparison with packaging, people are more sensitive to price.Last but not least, our resources are limited and some are even non-renewable. Once the products are opened up, the wrapper are useless, so it is expected that designers can develop further uses of packaging materials or at least make them environmental-friendly.第二辑Test 2Topic A: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Selecting staff for promotion●Attitude to work●Current performance【词汇&短语】空缺职位vacancy 人事部personnel行政管理部administration 公关public relations总部head office 工资wages and salaries管理技能managerial skill 职业前景career prospect人力资源部human resources 团队协作teamwork【句型点击】●常用开始语Thank you for your questionThe answer is…Let me start with….In my viewIt is very likely that….●表达观点常用句What I am thinking is….Let me make my point very clear.It is crystal clear that…..There is no doubt that…..I am into the first opinion..【句型点击】When selecting staff for promotion, several factors should be taken into consideration, to begin with, the attitude to the work is one of the most fundamental elements. I believe attitude is everything. It is not uncommon to find workers who have great talents but are reluctant to make full contribution in their position, the point is, you have to love what you are doing and you have to try your utmost and reserve no effort to do it.Secondly, current performance is also very important, because it is obvious that attitude and effort have to be measured in a certain way so that you can know everyone’s capability.Thirdly, you can’t ignore career potential and adaptability, almost in every company, we can find employees who are excellent individuals but fail to cooperate in a team, these elements are all very essential in one’s career. Admittedly, it is not very likely to find all of them in one person, and then you have to consider about the specific position and grant priority to one of them.Topic B: WHAT IS I MPORTANT WHEN ……?Considering a career change●Further study or training●Opportunities for future promotion【词汇&短语】实际工资real wages 合并merger最终目标ultimate goal 个人收入personal income坏的影响adverse effect 工资价格螺旋上升wage-price spiral精明的讨价还价交易horse-trading 无形资产intangible assets资格qualification 投资回报return on investment【句型点击】●更倾向于某一个选项I would take …….. as my priority 我会把……..作为我的首选项。

共有38名汉语二语学习者参与实验,16名评分员对这些参与者在3种口语题型上的韵律表现进行评估打分,评估维度包括韵律策略能力、自然度和流利度。
方差分析的结果显示学习者在回答问题上体现出更好的韵律策略能力和自然度,回答问题的流利度也优于听后复述任务,但与朗读任务并无差异;朗读与听后复述任务在三个韵律维度上的表现均无差异。
同时,通过相关性分析发现评分员在评估时对三个韵律维度的感知具有高相关性,且这三个维度均对韵律能力总分有较强的解释力,因此,在实际的口语能力评估中,不建议对韵律能力评估标准进行三个维度的细分。
