Abstract

This study aims to analyse the comparison of translation quality from Chinese to Indonesian produced by ChatGPT and Google Translate, as learning media for Chinese Language Education students. Using a qualitative approach and comparative descriptive method, this study analysed 20 sentences from textbooks translated by both platforms. The analysis was based on three main aspects: accuracy of meaning, fluency of language, and suitability of context. The results showed that ChatGPT is consistently superior in producing more fluid and contextual translations than Google Translate, which tends to be more literal. Although both tools can be utilised as a learning support medium, ChatGPT has proven to be of better quality. It was concluded that students need to keep using their linguistic understanding to critically evaluate translation Results.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and functions of imperative sentences found in episode 1 of the Chinese drama The Untamed, adapted from the novel Mo Dao Zu Shi by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research focuses on identifying imperative forms in the characters' utterances and classifying them into five categories: command, prohibition, request, invitation, and permission. The data were collected through non-participatory observation and documentation, then analyzed using imperative sentence theory in Mandarin. The findings show a total of 94 imperative sentences, with directive imperatives being the most dominant (52 instances), followed by prohibitions (18), invitations (6), requests (6), and indirect imperatives (9). These variations not only reflect the linguistic structure but also reveal the characters’ emotions, social relations, and power dynamics. The study highlights how Mandarin imperative sentences in popular media can serve as a valuable resource in understanding communication strategies, pragmatic functions, and sociocultural context in language use.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a crucial component in learning foreign languages, including Mandarin, which is increasingly important in today's global context. However, junior high school students in Indonesia often struggle to master Mandarin vocabulary successfully, partly due to the limited use of interactive digital learning media. This study aims to describe the use of digital-based Anki flashcard media and examine its impact on the vocabulary mastery of eighthgrade students at SMP IT Cheng Hoo. Using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) model by Kemmis and McTaggart, the research was conducted in two cycles involving 17 students. Data were collected through vocabulary tests and observation sheets. The findings revealed an improvement in the average student score from 60.78 in the first cycle to 85.09 in the second, indicating a 24.31-point increase. These results suggest that the use of Anki significantly supports students' retention and understanding of Mandarin vocabulary. The study concludes that digital flashcard applications like Anki offer an innovative and responsive learning strategy that suits students' needs and increases engagement in Mandarin vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

Mandarin Chinese proficiency has become increasingly for international business communication, especially given China’s position as global economic power. However, traditional language instruction often falls short in preparing learners for real-world business contexts, where advanced competencies such as negotiation, cross-cultural interaction, and professional communication are required. While Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) have proven effective in fostering authentic language use, and micro-credentials provide verifiable recognition of workplace skills, there remains a gap in integrating these approaches into a comprehensive, industrybased Mandarin curriculum. To bridge that gap, the present study introduces the Industry-Based Mandarin Language PBL Model that integrates PBL, TaskBased Language Teaching (TBLT), and micro-credentials into business competence development. A quan-qual research design was employed to gather information from students, alumni and industry respondents through questionnaires and needs analyses. Results show a clear demand from the user and employer communities for industry-relevant Mandarin in speaking, writing, negotiation and report preparation, and a preference for practical, task based learning and recognition by micro-credentials. The conceptual model proposed in this study represents an overarching, competency-driven, academia–industry interface that would constitute a sustainable approach in the development of competitive graduates skilled in Chinese (in the form of Mandarin) and business.

Abstract

Intercultural communication is a critical component in Chinese language education, where linguistic proficiency must be accompanied by cultural competence. This study explores research trends, key challenges, and conceptual gaps in intercultural communication within Chinese language education from 2020 to 2025. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis, 2,744 peer-reviewed articles were identified and examined from the Scopus database. Findings indicate an initial growth in research publications, peaking in 2024, followed by a sharp decline in 2025. China, the United Kingdom, and the United States dominate in terms of publication volume, while Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia are showing growing engagement. Keyword analysis reveals a strong focus on “intercultural communication,” “language education,” and “foreign language learning,” often framed within Sinocentric perspectives. Despite increased scholarly attention, the field continues to rely on conventional theories that do not adequately address the dynamic nature of cultural identities. Pedagogical practices remain fragmented, with limited integration of critical literacy and culturally responsive teaching approaches. Existing assessment tools also lack the capacity to effectively measure the complexity of intercultural competence. The findings suggest a need for the development of inclusive, context-sensitive pedagogical models and more robust evaluation tools to enhance intercultural competence in global Chinese language education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the needs for basic Mandarin and English language learning that has been conducted at a private junior high school in Makassar, as a reference for determining whether this activity should be continued and for the development of learning materials and syllabus creation. This study identifies the challenges in learning Mandarin and English after attending Mandarin and English lessons, the benefits of learning Mandarin and English, the continuity of the basic Mandarin and English training program, and the needs for learning basic Mandarin and English based on the four core language skills. This research uses a descriptive-analytical method with a quantitative approach. The data was obtained through a questionnaire distributed to 15 respondents, consisting of junior high school students from a private school in Makassar, teachers, and parents. The analysis of the questionnaire data indicates that the respondents are interested in learning Mandarin and English by increasing the number of study hours and changing the learning themes, as 53.3% of them feel they have already understood the current material well enough. In terms of Hanzi recognition and writing, they experienced significant difficulties—93.3% of the participants reported that they found learning Hanzi to be challenging. The overall results of the needs analysis for basic Mandarin and English learning suggest that students require Mandarin skills primarily to understand simple conversations and basic vocabulary.

Abstract

The development of technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including education. The presence of AI has opened new opportunities to create a more effective, interactive, and adaptive learning process tailored to students’ needs. This technology can be applied in nearly all aspects of academic learning, from providing information resources to supporting cognitive processes and practice activities. In the context of language learning, especially Mandarin writing skills, AI plays an important role as a learning tool that helps students overcome various challenges, such as difficulties in understanding sentence structures, writing hanzi, and composing grammatically correct paragraphs. This study employed a mixed-methods research approach using a convergent parallel design, which combines quantitative and qualitative data to gain a comprehensive understanding. The findings indicate that AI can serve as an effective learning aid when used appropriately and responsibly. In writing skills, AI has been shown to assist students in understanding vocabulary, sentence structure, translation, and organizing short, structured paragraphs. However, the use of AI should be guided to ensure that students do not become overly dependent on it, but rather use the technology to strengthen their conceptual mastery and develop independent writing abilities. Therefore, AI should function as a supportive learning tool, not as a replacement for the teacher’s role in the Mandarin language learning process.
