Abstract

Negative Motivation and Its Influencing Factors of Chinese Learners of Foreigners. Negative motivation research for the Chinese learners has been a hot topic and developed rapidly in China and abroad in recent years. This paper will take the Chinese learners of foreigners as the research object, explore the negative motivation of Chinese learners in different cultural backgrounds and its influencing factors, and make a comparative analysis. The negative motivation will have a considerable impact on the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language. The research results will not only enrich the relevant teaching theories, but also make teachers more targeted to carry out corresponding teaching methodology or intervention measures in the process of application. It will also test the effectiveness of improving cross-cultural adaptation of foreign students, thereby broadening the field of negative motivation research. The main benefit of this study will be the student by showing them where the learning Chinese barriers are and the solutions proposed to improve the teaching quality.

REZUMAT. Motivaţia negativă şi influenţa sa asupra străinilor care învaţă limba chineză. Studiul motivaţiei negative a celor care învaţă limba chineză a constituit în ultimii ani un subiect de interes atât în China cât şi în afara ei. Acest articol are ca obiect de studiu profesorii de limbă chineză pentru străini, propunându-şi să exploreze motivaţia negativă a studenţilor din diferite medii culturale şi factorii care o influenţează. Studiul motivaţiei negative va avea astfel un impact considerabil asupra predării limbii chineze ca limbă străină. Rezultatele cercetării nu doar că vor îmbogăţi teoriile de predare, dar îi vor face pe profesori mai atenţi la desfăşurarea unor activităţi sau măsuri didactice în timpul predării. Acestea vor testa capacitatea de a îmbunătăţi adaptarea inter-culturală a studenţilor străini, lărgind astfel aria de cercetare a motivaţiei negative. Principalii beneficiari ai acestui studiu vor fi studenţii, care îşi vor putea da seama unde se află barierele în învăţare şi care sunt soluţiile propuse pentru a îmbunătăţi calitatea predării, ducând astfel la rezultate mai bune în învăţarea limbii.

Cuvinte cheie: profesori de limbă chineză pentru străini, motivaţie negativă, factori care influenţează, strategii
