One of the language skills used for communication purposes is speaking skills. In Mandarin, speaking skills are skills to express ideas or ideas that involve pronunciation and require proper intonation. As technology advances, learning Mandarin using applications is very helpful because of the ease of access and increasing enthusiasm for learning. For example, the Super Chinese application utilizes AI technology in materials and practice questions. Applications that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) technology are expected to support the learning process, especially learning Mandarin. This study was conducted with the aim of describing the level of students' speaking skills and determining the effectiveness of AI-based applications, one of which is the Super Chinese application. This study uses a quantitative correlational method with a pre-experimental design in the form of a one-group pretest-posttest design. The instrument used is a test instrument in the form of pretest and posttest questions. The data source used was class XI IBB SMA Laboratorium UM, totaling 24 students. Data were obtained from the average results of students' pretest and posttest scores. The data analysis techniques used were paired sample t-test, n-gain test, and pearson correlation test.The results of this study indicate that the Super Chinese application is effective in training the Mandarin speaking skills of class XI IBB students at SMA Laboratorium UM.

Abstract

In social life, communication is needed to be able to interact with each other using various ways, one of which is by speaking using existing languages.  In language activities, there is a language phenomenon, namely the variety of languages according to the situation. Researchers decided to examine the drama 聊聊日常 (New Life Begins) (2022) because there are many data found on the variety of languages according to the situation used by the character 李薇 Lǐ Wēi. In this study, this author analyzes how the various forms of language used by 李薇 Lǐ Wēi characters according to the situation that is happening in the drama 聊聊日常 (New Life Begins) using the theory of Martin Joos (1967). Research data were obtained from various dialogues of 李薇 Lǐ Wēi characters with other characters contained in the drama 聊聊日常 (New Life Begins) with a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the analysis showed that in episodes one to five of the drama 聊聊日常 (New Life Begins) Lǐ Wēi's character used all kinds of language according to the situation based on the level of formality according to Martin Joos (1967), namely frozen variety, official variety (formal), business variety (consultative), casual variety (casual), and familiar variety (intimate). However, it was found that Lǐ Wēi characters mostly use casual varieties.

Abstract

The Chinese zodiac system, known as shio, is a symbolic representation of the years based on the cycle of 12 animals that influences Chinese belief and culture. Immortals were sent to the human world to announce that the rank of animals depends on the order in which they pass through the gates of heaven. However, not many people understand that cats used to participate in the race to pass through the gates of heaven, although, in the end, cats were not included in the 12 ships. Therefore, this paper aims to tell the story and introduce and give an in-depth dimension to the traditional culture and heritage that continues to be inherited from generation to generation. In this research, we use qualitative research methods by making a detailed and accurate description of a subject so that readers can easily understand why cats are not represented in the Chinese ship. The results of this study can be concluded that there is competition between several animals to the gates of heaven, which ultimately becomes the Chinese calendar system as an annual representation, a symbol of human characteristics which is still used to predict luck, sustenance, and can even expect a thing that is much sought after in young people, namely romantic relationships.

Abstract

This research explores the challenges Indonesian learners face in acquiring Chinese "momentum words," such as “场, 遍, 番, 顿, 下, 趟, 回, 阵, 通, 次,” due to the one-to-many correspondence between Chinese momentum words and Indonesian quantifiers, along with different verb-matching rules. Momentum words refer to specific quantifiers in Chinese that pair with verbs to indicate frequency, duration, or repetition. The study investigates these issues through a questionnaire survey and error analysis to identify common mistakes and their causes. Findings show that learners frequently make errors such as misordering, misubstitution, and omission, primarily due to negative transfer from Indonesian. To address these issues, the paper suggests teaching strategies that gradually increase in complexity and emphasize comparing Chinese and Indonesian quantifiers. The research highlights the importance of understanding the matching rules for verbs and momentum words and cultivating effective learning strategies for Indonesian students.
