1 Introduction

About 50 universities in China offer undergraduate programs in Thai language, using zero point teaching. There are shortcomings in current teaching: incorrect interpretation of Thai academic concepts, incomplete introduction into Chinese teaching, resulting in theoretical deficiencies. Root cause of the problem: 1 The duality of vowel and consonant concepts in Thai language leads to confusion in teaching; 2. Important concepts such as synthesized consonant letters, homogeneous consonant letter clusters, and unvoiced consonant letters have not been introduced; 3. The lack of connection between Thai and Chinese thinking makes it difficult to answer students' questions in teaching. Thai and English belong to different language families, and their academic concepts are not equivalent, so it is not appropriate to use similar concepts as substitutes.

Theoretical Basis for Introducing Academic Concepts of Chinese Phonology into Thai Phonetic and Textual Teaching

Thai and Chinese belong to the Sino Tibetan language family and share common features such as monosyllabic words and tones, making them suitable for teaching Thai using the concept of Chinese vowels. The concepts of initial consonants, final vowels, and the Shuxing sound in Thai complement its lack of initial vowels, and its rich syllabic endings are in line with ancient Chinese, making Chinese phonological theory applicable to Thai phonetics and writing.

Correct understanding of academic concepts in Thai phonetics and writing and accurate expression in Chinese

Deeply explored the correct understanding of vowels and vowel letters, consonants and consonant letters in Thai phonetic and textual teaching, as well as their accurate expression in Chinese. In foreign language teaching, learners often find it difficult to distinguish between vowels and vowel letters, consonants and consonant letters, because some languages have a one-to-one correspondence between these elements, making phonemes and letters appear equal, while Thai is not. There is no one-to-one correspondence between vowels and vowels, consonants and consonants in Thai, and the number of phonemes and letters is not equal. Thai has 21 vowels and 32 vowel letters, as well as 21 consonants and 44 consonant letters. This difference stems from the presence of compound vowels and special vowel letters in Thai, as well as the grouping of consonant letters based on clarity rather than consonants themselves.

4 Conclusion

Newly established non universal language majors often adopt zero starting point teaching, which requires a correct understanding and accurate expression of academic concepts in each language. Thai and Chinese are both isolated languages. Introducing the theory of Chinese phonology can help solve the problem of expressing Thai linguistic terms in Chinese. By utilizing the Zhuang Dai language branch phenomenon, Thai language problems can be solved, and the localization of Thai language teaching theory can be achieved, constructing a theoretical system for Thai language teaching in China.
