Abstract

Vocabulary is the basic element of language and plays an important role in language expression. In previous vocabulary teaching of teaching Chinese to speakers of other language process, teachers only pay attention to the pronunciation, meaning and collocation of vocabulary, but don't explain the original meaning of vocabulary. This teaching method makes students' understanding of Chinese vocabulary is not deep enough and the level of Chinese is also limited. Etymology-linking method refers to the teaching method of analyzing the source of words' meaning. Through the comparative analysis of the pronunciation and semantics of the words, the etymology-linking method links the words that have common source of meaning so as to help foreign students better understand the systematization and motivation of Chinese vocabulary. In the process of teaching Chinese to speakers of other language, the rational use of etymological knowledge can not only establish the systematization of vocabulary and expand the students' vocabulary, but also reveal the motivation of words and improve students' ability to distinguish words, so as to reduce the barriers of cross-cultural communication and achieve the teaching goal of using Chinese for good communication.
