Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which Case-Based Learning (CBL) plays a role in developing critical thinking skills of students of the Chinese Language Education Study Program. Critical thinking skills are seen as one of the main competencies in 21st-century higher education, especially in foreign language learning which requires students not only to master linguistic aspects, but also to understand the socio-cultural context. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group pattern involving 40 students in the odd semester of 2024/2025, consisting of 20 experimental group students taught with CBL and 20 control group students taught by conventional methods in the form of lectures and practice questions. The research instrument is in the form of a critical thinking essay test based on the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) indicator, which is validated by experts and tested for reliability. Pretest and posttest results data were analyzed using normalized gain (N-gain) scores to assess learning effectiveness. The results showed that the experimental group obtained an average N-gain of 0.763 (high category) with a range of 0.54–1.00, while the control group only achieved an average N-gain of 0.45 (medium category) with a range of 0.23–0.80. These differences in achievement confirm that CBL is more effective than conventional methods in improving students' ability to analyze, evaluate, and interpret. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of CBL makes a significant contribution to the development of students' critical thinking skills, as it encourages them to connect theory with practice through authentic case analysis. These findings recommend that CBL be systematically integrated into the Chinese language learning curriculum to produce graduates who are critical, reflective and adaptive in the face of global challenges.

The adverbial words 又 (yòu) and 再(zài)in the Chinese Language have their structure in use. It is very important to learn and understand. Chinese language learners often make mistakes in using these two words. This study uses a qualitative approach with data sources from the results of student tests and secondary data from open questionnaires. From the data, the percentage of errors in the use of the adverbial (yòu) was 32.49% and the use of the adverbial (zài) was 29.49%. And from the results of making sentences, it was found that the forms of errors were, the use of 又 (yòu) in sentences, the use of 再 (zài) in sentences, sentence structure, use of vocabulary, and sentence logical meaning, with a total of 25 errors.

Abstract

The increasing global influence of China and its economic rise have made Mandarin Chinese a valuable skill for international communication and job opportunities, especially in countries like Indonesia that maintain close economic ties with China. The research aims to understand the dominant types of motivation and to identify common obstacles students encounter in acquiring the language. A mixed-method approach was used, combining quantitative descriptive methods through questionnaires distributed to 69 first- and second-year students, and qualitative methods through interviews with 10 students. The findings reveal that most students are instrumentally motivated, driven by the desire for better employment prospects and educational advancement, rather than integrative factors such as cultural interest or native-like fluency. Major learning difficulties include pronunciation (particularly tones and retroflex consonants), grammar, and the memorization and writing of Chinese characters (hanzi), largely due to interference from the Indonesian language and limited exposure to Mandarin in their environment. Despite these challenges, students exhibit a generally positive learning attitude, especially in classroom participation. This study concludes that greater support in pronunciation, grammar instruction, and character acquisition is necessary, and suggests that future research explore broader contexts and more advanced student groups.
