Chinese language is one of the languages that have
many users in the world.
Chinese language is also one language that is difficult to learn because the pronunciation
and the tone are
different from other types of languages in the world. Moreover, the forms of
writing, in Chinese called Hanzi, are not in the forms of Latin alphabetic.
Teachers are the important factor in teaching learning process. In teaching
process, teachers need specific method or technique. Particularly in teaching
Chinese for early childhood education, in fact, the students are not quite
fluent to speak Indonesian language as their first language. As a result, it
may become a constraint to expect they will be fluent speakers in Chinese. This
current research was conducted since methods in teaching Chinese particularly
for early childhood education are rarely found. This research then explored the
methods of teaching Chinese used for early childhood education. The significance
of the research was to generate method of teaching Chinese particularly in
pronunciation for students between the age of 4-7 years old whose first language is Indonesian. The
objective of this research is to find out the effective teaching Chinese
Language method that is used
