ERRORS ANALYSIS BY VIETNAMESE STUDENTS OF INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED LEVELS ON CHINESE PREDICATE – ADJECTIVES: A CASE STUDY AT THE CHINESE DEPARTMENT OF HO CHI MINH CITY UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION

Abstract

The adjective predicate is not only a more distinctive sentence pattern in modern Chinese, but also a focus of Chinese as a second language teaching. For Vietnamese students, it is hard to master Chinese adjective predicates. For this reason, a survey was conducted to explore common errors commited by Vietnamese students of intermediate and advanced levels in learning and using Chinese adjective predicates. Based on the analysis, it is expected to understand the reasons of commiting these errors in the sentence pattern. Suggestions will be offered for teaching Chinese adjectives and predicates.
