Language Proficiency Among Non-Native Chinese Language Learners: A Discriminant Analysis

Abstract

The Chinese Language (CL) is difficult to learn, and CL non-native learners are finding it increasingly difficult. Therefore, additional information on how to guide students is critical. As a result, the goal of this research is to find out what criteria distinguish high and low proficiency students in Chinese learning. The data was collected through a Google form questionnaire from 79 CL non-native students who had previously studied Chinese. The findings demonstrate that the only difference between the two groups is the writing strategies used. This study concludes that various teaching methods should emphasise writing skills in order to become proficient in Chinese.
