Abstract

Mandarin learners fails to reach the best effect of studying Mandarin in traditional Mandarin teaching methods when the number of Mandarin learners increases. Based on the bad Mandarin studying effect, Mandarin teachers seek new Mandarin teaching methods. The multimodal teaching is widely used in English teaching, and it is beneficial for students to study English, but this method is rarely used in the Mandarin teaching. Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore the application of multimodal method in Mandarin teaching. The four elements of Mandarin teaching explored in this study are Mandarin phonetic teaching, Mandarin vocabulary teaching, Mandarin grammar teaching and Mandarin character teaching. In the multimodal Mandarin teaching classes, Mandarin learners can mobilize their multiple senses to understand Mandarin and practice Mandarin like using both vision and hearing. Mandarin learners can master the standard Mandarin pronunciation by the gesture of Mandarin teachers in Mandarin phonetic classes. In Mandarin vocabulary classes, earners can use pictures and situational methods to understand Mandarin new words. Mandarin learners can grasp abstract Mandarin grammar by using the animation and sentence template in Mandarin grammar classes. In Mandarin character classes, it is useful to use fingers and Tianzige to write Chinese characters. From this article, it is clear to see how the multimodal teaching method improves the Mandarin teaching.
