Taiwan is a multi-lingual society, but due to the long-term implementation of a monolingual policy, the natural development of language acquisition has been suppressed. Mandarin as the dominant teaching language in all levels of education continued until dialects were introduced into the curriculum in 2001. This multi-language curriculum planning has both positive and negative aspects. As far as teachers are concerned, they should think positively about how they can help their students to achieve the goals of effective learning in a multi-lingual environment using the very limited time they have available for this. Taiwanese and Mandarin are two languages with a high degree of similarity. In this study, by using contrastive voice analysis, both Taiwanese and Mandarin sounds are compared and referenced. By using the differences from this comparison, we can understand the difficulties in students' learning process. A better understanding of the differences that lead to students' learning difficulties will help teachers plan for particular teaching activities that will improve students' learning outcomes. Hence, language teaching and learning in the classroom can be more fun and more effective without compromising the multi-lingual curriculum. |
