Abstract

Abstract The Mandarin utterance-final particle le is among the most difficult and elusive grammatical features that learners of Chinese often encounter, owing to its rich interactional pragmatic functions and the lack of a counterpart in many first languages. In this article, we use media clips to illustrate a beginning-level language teaching unit for this feature. We show that authentic materials can be used to address pedagogical issues with some of the most difficult grammatical phenomena in Chinese and that this can be accomplished via material design, classroom activities, and assessment methods – all at the beginning level.

通过真实材料进行汉语语音末助音教学

摘要汉语的词尾助词le是汉语学习者经常遇到的最难学的语法特征之一，因为它具有丰富的交互语用功能，而在许多母语中却没有对应的助词le。在本文中，我们使用媒体剪辑来说明该功能的初级语言教学单元。我们展示了真实的材料可以用来解决一些最困难的汉语语法现象的教学问题，这可以通过材料设计、课堂活动和评估方法来完成——所有这些都是在初级阶段完成的。(本文中使用的所有相关视频片段都可以从这个网站http://clicresearch.rice.edu/caslar-authentic-spoken-language/#le找到。)

期刊介绍： Chinese as a Second Language Research (CASLAR) focuses on research on the acquisition, development, and use of Chinese as a Second Language. It supports scholars and researchers from different linguistic fields, and serves as a forum to discuss, investigate, and better understand Chinese as a Second Language. Each issue (2 per year) of the journal publishes three papers in Chinese and three papers in English; summaries are always provided both in Chinese and English. We are especially interested in publishing articles and research papers that investigate how empirical findings of CSL research can advance and develop better Chinese language teaching methodologies, explore the implications of CSL research for theoretical developments and practical applications, focus on the acquisition and use of varieties of CSL, study the nature of interaction between native speakers and non-native speakers of Chinese, address major issues of second language acquisition from the perspective of CSL, analyze the ways in which language is both shaped by culture and is the medium through which culture is created.
