Abstract
Conjunction is a way to connect phrases and sentences in discourse, which is one of the earliest ways for second language learners to acquire the knowledge of composing articles through sentences. The early research of Chinese conjunction focus on complex sentences, it was not until Chiu-Chung Liao that researchers started to review conjunctions which connect sentences and paragraphs from the perspective of discourse. This research aims at reviewing the way how French learners of Mandarin Chinese apply conjunctions and the way of teaching them. This research examines and analyzes the errors which were made by French learners from National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations (INALCO) in their writing from three perspectives, namely complex sentences, paragraphs, and discourses. After comparing French learner''s errors and correct sentences, this study explained the reasons for the errors with the semantic, pragmatics and function of Chinese conjunctions, and investigated the causes of these errors for further understanding learner''s errors. This study also examined French learner''s textbooks and discovered that explanations regarding proper use of conjunctions when forming sentence groups and paragraphs are limited. To effectively solve the problems of the learners, this study designed pedagogical processes of 也 and time conjunctions based on learners'' textbooks and provided pedagogical suggestions.
