Abstract

The aim of this research is, through a general comparison between learners’ corpora and NSs’ corpora, to probe into the characteristics of Chinese EFL learners with regard to their use of linking adverbials in writing and speaking, and give an impersonal description about the non-nativeness that the learners demonstrate in the use of linking adverbials. It is found that Chinese EFL learners have shown an overall overusing tendency in using linking adverbials in their speaking and writing. The results have shown that the factors which contributing to Chinese EFL learners’ use of linking adverbials are multifold, such as mother tongue transfer, pedagogical instructions, stylistic awareness, semantic understanding, and pragmatic considerations. Key Words: Linking Adverbials; Chinese EFL learners; Use; Teaching

Chapter One Introduction

1.1 Research Background

In the first decade1 or two after World War II, the introduction of foreign languages in the elementary school in the U.S.A.1, and of primary school French in Britain, and similar developments in other countries were part of a widespread search for ways of “improving the effectiveness of language education by taking into account into timetable of language development in childhood” (Stern, 1983, 363). The past decade has seen significant increase in foreign language programs for young learners. In many African and Asian countries, primary children have long been taught French or English as preparation for their use as a medium of instruction.

1.2 Motivations and Objectives

1 U.S.A. is the abbreviation of The United States of America.
