Abstract

Motivational languaging activities (MLAs) encourage learners to externalize their self-perceptions through oral or written forms and promote learners’ cognitive development. However, limited research has investigated the impact of MLAs on learners’ L2 motivation. To bridge this gap, the present study sought to unveil the effect of MLAs on Chinese tertiary English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ motivation. Participants were 156 Chinese tertiary EFL learners divided into four groups: Experimental Group 1 (EG1), EG2, EG3, and a Control Group (CG). The experimental groups performed the MLAs in spoken, written, and spoken plus written forms respectively, while the CG received no MLA intervention. Motivational dynamics were measured with an adapted questionnaire administered at the beginning and end of the intervention, and qualitative data were collected through group discussions and opinion writing. The results revealed various degrees of enhancement in L2 motivation across the three experimental groups, highlighting the effectiveness of spoken MLAs in significantly increasing the Ought-to L2 Self among the participants.

Abstract

This study employs semantic component analysis and lexicalization theory to conduct a comparative analysis of the semantic components and lexicalization patterns of “cry” type verbs in English and Chinese. The findings reveal that these verbs in both languages exhibit both universality and specificity in their semantic components and lexicalization patterns. The core semantic components determine the semantic field of synonymous verbs, while peripheral components differentiate their nuances. Furthermore, “cry” type verbs in both languages follow the lexicalization pattern of “action + manner + cause + X”. This study advances the semantic and lexicalization analysis of “cry” type verbs in English and Chinese, offering novel theoretical and translational insights. Through systematic examination of their semantic components and lexicalization patterns, it enables more precise cross-linguistic understanding and application in translation practice.

Abstract

Production-Oriented Approach (POA) is an important research achievement in second language education. Its application to international Chinese education can promote the localization of second language teaching concepts and improve the quality of international Chinese teaching. To understand its research trends and development direction, it is necessary to review the research in this field. By searching the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, 58 relevant papers on the use of POA in the field of international Chinese education over the past decade (2015–2025) were collected. Based on the scoping review method and using CiteSpace visualization software, the development status and trends were analyzed. The study found: 1) the overall development of POA in international Chinese education has experienced considerable fluctuations, roughly divided into two stages with 2019 as the node: the initial stage and the rapid development stage; 2) research hotspots mainly include three aspects: POA teaching practice research, technology empowerment and teaching innovation, and teaching material adaptation and development. These findings are implicative for improving teaching quality of International Chinese Language Education.

Abstract

In the 21st century, China’s developing international stature has sparked increased global interest in its governance principles and practices. This has necessitated the effective translation of Chinese political literature to facilitate cross-cultural understanding. This study aims to explore the translation strategies of Chinese political discourse, focusing on the series of Understanding Contemporary China through the lens of Edward T. Hall’s high-low context culture theory. The research takes a qualitative approach, employing contrastive analysis methodology. It investigates a total of 98 Chinese expressions characterized by Chinese rich cultural connotations, drawn from the selected series. The foreignization strategy seeks to preserve the cultural integrity of the source language through literal translation supplemented by explanatory annotations. In contrast, domestication reinterprets the original expressions to align with the cultural norms of the target language, employing free translation and semantic adaptation. This study enhances our comprehension of translation dynamics between high-context and low-context cultures, while simultaneously providing critical perspectives on the international propagation of Chinese political philosophy. In doing so, it fosters more effective intercultural dialogue and contributes to the reduction of cross-cultural misinterpretations.

Abstract

Guided by translanguaging, this study explores the linguistic landscape in Quanzhou and its implications for international Chinese education. The findings indicate that Quanzhou’s linguistic landscape is dominated by Chinese-English bilingualism, while also featuring a variety of minority languages, reflecting the city’s internationalization and cultural inclusiveness. In terms of presentation forms, purely linguistic modes and language-plus-image modes are roughly balanced, with equivalent design strategies occupying an absolute dominant position, ensuring clear communication of information. Functionally, the linguistic landscape is primarily driven by commercial advertising, while also serving purposes such as direction and public services, as well as cultural dissemination. Through a systematic analysis of these characteristics, this study not only provides a new empirical case for the study of linguistic landscapes in Chinese cities, deepening theoretical understanding, but also transforms abstract linguistic findings into concrete teaching strategies and curriculum suggestions. It offers significant practical insights for international Chinese educators to optimize teaching content and methods, thereby enhancing the practicality and effectiveness of instruction.
