Abstract

ESL teaching is common, all over the world because of the significance and reach of the English language. It is a globally connective language and has become indispensible due to objectives of business, education or simply communication. The main issue while learning a different language comes out to be with the cultural differences in the grammatical concepts that one has been familiar with since childhood. It is rather challenging to overcome such an integral part of language that most of us consider the ‘rules’ to abide by, so that we can make sense of statements. For example, the Mandarin language has four basic tones, and another fifth neutral tone. The use of tones are extremely important to the meaning generated, and thus are not compromisable. If a tone is missed out, the implication changes, thus leaving the output incorrect.
