Abstract

Chinese is one of the difficult languages to learn, especially for foreign speakers. Therefore, research was conducted to find an easy and effective way to learn Chinese speaking. This study focuses on elementary level students at Sebelas Maret University, examining how effective strategies, specifically the use of picture media, can improve their Chinese speaking skills. The research method analyzes the effectiveness of visual media in increasing students learning motivation and understanding of the content. By collecting qualitative and quantitative data from learning sessions conducted with and without visual media, significant differences in students learning performance were found between the two methods. The study's theoretical contributions include advancing the understanding of visual media's role in language acquisition and providing a framework for integrating visual aids into language teaching. It confirms that visual media can significantly enhance students participation, understanding, and memorization of learning content. Additionally, the speaking skills of students who used the visual media learning method improved markedly compared to those who did not. This demonstrates that visual media is a beneficial strategy for Chinese language learning at the elementary level, offering practical insights for teachers to enhance the efficiency of the learning process and improve student outcomes.

Abstract

In an era of globalization marked by ever-stronger digital connectivity and close economic growth, languages play an important role in cross-cultural communication and international trade. Mandarin, being the official language of the People's Republic of China and the mother tongue of approximately one billion individuals worldwide, is one language that has a prominent role in this context. This article discusses the existence of Mandarin in the era of globalization. Mandarin is quite important in the context of the global economy, in line with the rapid economic growth in China, which is becoming a very influential world economic power. This article is written using a qualitative method by using supporting literature such as books and journals. Globalization brings real business and cultural exchange opportunities, and Mandarin holds the key to maximizing the benefits of these opportunities. The findings of this study are that many language learners are interested in learning Mandarin. In addition, the popularity of Chinese as the second most spoken language outside of China continues to increase, especially in education in schools and language study centres worldwide. Nevertheless, the existence of Mandarin Chinese also faces various obstacles and barriers in the era of globalization. Despite these obstacles, the potential and opportunities in intercultural communication, global economy, and diplomacy continue to grow. Overall, the Chinese have an increasingly important role in the era of globalization. It reflects the ongoing global changes and the importance of cross-cultural understanding to maintain world peace in an increasingly connected world.
