Abstract

This study, which was covered in the paper, looked at how Diploma in Mandarin students' motivation for learning Mandarin changed before and after they were relocated to China. In the investigation, we urged the 15 participants to keep reflective journals and interviewed them twice, once before and once after their industrial training experience at PT Formosa Bag Indonesia. The research showed that the majority of participants projected to maintain their trip-induced increases in desire for learning Mandarin in the future. The results show that the participants' motivations changed during their industrial training at PT Formosa Bag Indonesia, and that this change was prompted by their new educational environment and individual learning experiences. Because the learning and sociocultural environments are always interacting with the participants' L2 self-concepts in industry, the motivational boost evolved. These results provide novel insights into the dynamic motivation for learning the Mandarin language as well as the function of formal and informal learning environments. They imply that in order to increase international students' motivation for long-term Mandarin study, educational stakeholders must offer genuine communication chances and resources.

Abstract

This study explored the effects of visualization and phonetic processing on comprehension and memory retention in learning Mandarin as a second language. Through an experiment involving three conditions: pinyin, black-and-white pictures, and colored pictures, the study evaluated participants’ accuracy and reaction time in completing visual and phonetic-based tasks. The results showed that visual cues, especially colored pictures, increased response accuracy and decreased reaction time compared to pinyin and black-and-white pictures. These findings suggest that visualization not only aids vocabulary recall but also facilitates faster cognitive processing, potentially reducing students’ cognitive load. Implications for Mandarin teaching include the importance of using appropriate visual teaching materials to support learning and memory retention at the beginner level. These results contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of multimodal learning and the importance of tailoring teaching methods to learners’ cognitive characteristics.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the suitability of the textbook Easy Steps to Chinese, published in China, for Mandarin language education in Indonesia, focusing on its alignment with the standards established by the Badan Standar, Kurikulum, dan Asesmen Pendidikan (BSKAP) (Agency for Standards, Curriculum, and Educational Assessment) and the Merdeka Curriculum. Using a qualitative content analysis method, the research examines the textbook's material, presentation, design, and graphics to assess its effectiveness and relevance in the Indonesian context. The findings indicate that although the textbook provides a well-structured approach with comprehensive teaching materials, it faces challenges in terms of cultural relevance and illustrations that are less suitable for the Indonesian environment. Teachers play a critical role in addressing these gaps by supplementing the textbook with additional materials and cultural adaptations to align with local pedagogical needs and the competency standards of the Merdeka Curriculum. Theoretically, this study highlights the significance of culturally contextualized teaching resources in language acquisition. With proper modifications, Easy Steps to Chinese can serve as an effective resource for Mandarin instruction in Indonesia, though further adjustments are needed to fully align it with the Indonesian educational framework.

Abstract

This study examines the Chinese language textbook Easy Steps to Chinese 1, which is used at SMP Kristen Shining Star Sragen. The focus is on evaluating the material in this textbook for its overall quality and effectiveness in supporting language learning. It aims to assess its suitability for junior high school learners, based on curriculum alignment and learner needs. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, including field observations, focus group discussions, and a review of relevant books, journals, and literature. In teaching Chinese, educators must be supported by textbooks that align with learners’ proficiency levels and learning objectives. Effective textbooks should incorporate relevant cultural and contextual elements to enhance both comprehension and practical language use. The results of this study led to the development of a compiled textbook, adapted from the original and aligned with the Kurikulum Merdeka and the school's vision and mission. This adapted textbook is intended to serve as a guide and reference for teachers in the Chinese language teaching and learning process at SMP Kristen Shining Star Sragen
