El objetivo de este artículo es el desarrollo de materiales didácticos específicos y estimular la investigación investigación sobre la adquisición de clasificadores en CSL. En primer lugar, se ofrecen definiciones, distinguiendo entre los distintos tipos de clasificadores. A continuación, se ofrece una revisión de literatura existente sobre la adquisición de clasificadores numéricos en L1 y L2, junto con un examen de los materiales didácticos. El ensayo termina con recomendaciones para futuras investigación e innovación en la enseñanza de los clasificadores chinos. The purpose of this essay is to review the literature on numeral classifiers in Mandarin Chinese and their acquisition, in order to provide directions for future research on the acquisition of classifiers in Chinese as a second language (CSL), and inform teaching practices. This paper first defines classifiers and describes the complexity of the Chinese classifier system. The discussion then moves to an examination of studies on the acquisition of classifiers in CSL. Particular attention is given to those studies that focused on the processing of classifiers from input in CLS, because input processing, which consists in registering target linguistic features and connecting them to meaning during comprehension, is recognized across theoretical perspectives as the very first step towards second language acquisition (e.g. Ellis, 2007; Gass,1997; Krashen, 1985; Lantolf, 2000; Long, 1983; McWhinney, 1987; Robinson, 2003; Schmidt, 1990; Swain, 2005; Tomlin &Villa, 1994; VanPatten, 2015). The resulting state of the art concludes with recommendations for future research and innovation in the teaching of Chinese classifiers.
