<![CDATA[Chinese is one of the difficult languages to learn, especially for foreign speakers. Therefore, research was conducted to find an easy and effective way to learn Chinese speaking. This study focuses on elementary level students at Sebelas Maret University, examining how effective strategies, specifically the use of picture media, can improve their Chinese speaking skills. The research method analyzes the effectiveness of visual media in increasing students learning motivation and understanding of the content. By collecting qualitative and quantitative data from learning sessions conducted with and without visual media, significant differences in students learning performance were found between the two methods. The study's theoretical contributions include advancing the understanding of visual media's role in language acquisition and providing a framework for integrating visual aids into language teaching. It confirms that visual media can significantly enhance students participation, understanding, and memorization of learning content. Additionally, the speaking skills of students who used the visual media learning method improved markedly compared to those who did not. This demonstrates that visual media is a beneficial strategy for Chinese language learning at the elementary level, offering practical insights for teachers to enhance the efficiency of the learning process and improve student outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[Listening is crucial in language learning, especially when learning Chinese. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing are the four essential skills in language learning, and language learning typically begins with listening. Short videos, as an auxiliary teaching tool, leverage the advantages of audiovisual learning and show clear effectiveness. To achieve the research objectives, I used experimental and testing methods. The study focused on students aged 4-6, starting with a pre-test. Subsequently, while explaining new vocabulary, students were provided with 15 minutes of relevant videos. Finally, a post-test was conducted. The results show that using videos as auxiliary teaching tools in kindergarten Chinese courses is highly effective, with students' progress in learning Chinese improving by an average of 75%. Using short videos as a teaching method can effectively enhance students' interest and motivation in learning.]]>

<![CDATA[The HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) is an important benchmark for assessing one's proficiency in Chinese among Chinese learners. As the exam levels increase, so does the number of vocabulary words required to be mastered. Learners are inevitably influenced to some extent by their own understanding of vocabulary when engaging in HSK reading comprehension. The author suggests that guessing strategies can help students mitigate this influence, providing an additional approach for dealing with unfamiliar words during comprehension. This study focuses on the 2019 graduates of the Hope Language Institute, using a combination of questionnaire surveys, tests, and interviews to collect data, followed by analysis using inductive methods. The aim of this research is to assist students in their reading comprehension while also raising awareness of the importance of employing and researching guessing strategies in reading. According to the survey results, the two most commonly used strategies by the 2019 graduates during reading are skimming and guessing strategies. Among the guessing strategies commonly used are morpheme-based guessing, context-based guessing, and character-based guessing. Additionally, common problems encountered by students in the guessing process include low recognition of semantic radicals, confusion over polysemous morphemes, and insufficient vocabulary.]]>

<![CDATA[The ability to remember vocabulary is essential for learning a foreign language, especially Chinese. If we can master and retain the vocabulary we study, it becomes easier to acquire listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. To enhance vocabulary retention, suitable learning methods are required, one of which is the use of Flash Cards as a learning medium. The author conducted a quantitative study with students from Class A and Class B in the second grade of St. John High School. Data was collected using pre-test and post-test methods, along with interviews. After each lesson, the author presented the students with Flash Card images for each vocabulary item. The results of this study indicate that Flash Card media helps improve students' vocabulary retention. According to test results, students achieved an average vocabulary retention rate of 95.49%. The use of Flash Card media as a teaching method allows students to remember vocabulary more effectively.]]>
