Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) addresses the limited understanding of Chinese culture among high school students, particularly at SMA Khadijah Surabaya. Although interest in learning Mandarin has continued to increase, cultural aspects often receive insufficient emphasis in the curriculum. This makes practical cultural exposure an important yet under-implemented strategy. The primary objective of this program is to provide students with direct cross-cultural learning experiences through a training workshop on crafting Chinese Knot (中国结), a traditional Chinese art form rich in philosophical meanings. The implementation method employed a participatory approach involving live demonstrations, group practice, and cultural reflection, supported by comprehensive documentation and reporting. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively through observation, interviews, and evaluation of students’ final craft products. The results indicate an enhanced student understanding of Chinese cultural values and increased enthusiasm in exploring traditional art through hands-on activities. The main outputs include a video documentary, media coverage, and a nationally published scientific article, all of which contribute to the dissemination and sustainability of the program. In conclusion, the training not only enriches students’ cultural competence but also reinforces the relevance of Mandarin language learning within its authentic cultural context, positively contributing to character development and multicultural awareness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using a Blooket as a gamified learning tool in an intermediate-level Mandarin reading class. Using a descriptive quantitative approach based on User Experience (UX), additional data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and non-participatory observations. The findings reveal that the highest scores were seen in the stimulation and efficiency aspects, indicating that Blooket improves student motivation and facilitates a faster learning process. Conversely, the reliability aspect obtained the lowest score, primarily due to network instability and students’ inaccuracy in reading Chinese characters. Overall, Blooket demonstrates great potential as a foreign language learning tool. However, its implementation should be supported by a comprehensive pedagogical strategy to optimize the benefits of gamification and further develop learners’ language proficiency.
