Abstract

The research aimed to analyze Chinese words with varied and numerous pronunciations among Thai Chinese learners. 2) To identify the sources of the problems, we compared single and multiple pronunciations, including varied tones, among Chinese language learners in Thailand, using a documentary research approach based on Scott's principles. The results showed that Thai phonemes replaced Chinese morphemes with Mandarin pronunciations. 2) Using the Roman alphabet for Chinese phonetic forms confuses Thai Chinese students' pronunciation. 3) Some vowels in words mix and change form, resulting in improper pronunciation by students. 4) The pronunciation of tones involves theoretical facts that students must remember. The results of this study will provide a conceptual framework for subsequent empirical research to validate the findings. This data is critical for discovering the underlying reasons for issues among Chinese language learners in Thailand by comparing single and different pronunciations.

Abstract

The research explores the effectiveness of scenario-based learning (SBL) as a method for enhancing communicative competence in the Chinese language, addressing the shortcomings of traditional methods that inadequately prepare students for real-life communication and cultural understanding. SBL offers a practical and engaging alternative that promotes active and meaningful language use. This study aimed to 1) develop Chinese speaking competency using SBL for Chinese Language Teaching students, targeting the 75/75 standard; 2) evaluate the Effectiveness Index (E.I.) of SBL; and 3) compare students' speaking abilities before and after learning with SBL. The sample included 60 students from the Chinese Teaching Program, Faculty of Education, Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University, selected via cluster random sampling. Research tools comprised 12 SBL lesson plans and a communicative Chinese speaking competency test. Statistical analysis included mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. The results showed 1) SBL improved students’ communicative speaking competency to 78.79/76.00, surpassing the 75/75 criteria; 2) the Effectiveness Index of SBL was 0.5569, indicating a 55.69% improvement in communication skills; 3) post-test scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores at a .05 significance level. These findings highlight SBL as an effective approach for improving Chinese language competency, promoting cultural understanding, and addressing real-life communication needs. It supports the integration of SBL in language instruction, particularly for teacher training programs, to foster active engagement and practical skill development, advancing modern language education.
