Abstract

One of the problems in teaching and learning Chinese in Thailand is that learners do not comprehend the differences between the usage of Chinese monosyllabic and disyllabic synonyms, as a result, learners get them muddled up easily. Some words not only have the same or similar meanings, they also have similar forms. Some pairs can be replaced with each other while some cannot. Consequently, this research aimed to study these synonyms in order to find a method to aid teaching and learning. The research has explained the differences between the types of monosyllabic and disyllabic synonyms and their meanings. In addition, some problems affecting learners have been found. Instructors should be aware of them and apply appropriate teaching methodology for more effective teaching and learning in Chinese.
