Abstract

his study examines the efficacy of an online, self-paced learning system designed to assist non-native Chinese language learners in improving their proficiency with commonly used Chinese internet vocabulary and deepening their understanding of Chinese culture. The system, accessible through the link https://appspenang.uitm.edu.my/talkmandenglish/, offers a user-friendly interface for language learning and cultural exploration. One hundred and one non-native learners from UiTM Terengganu, Malaysia, engaged with the system for 14 weeks and then completed a comprehensive questionnaire to assess their language skills and learning experiences. The results indicate favorable improvements in language acquisition, the understanding of Chinese culture and learning satisfaction among participants who completed the online innovative learning program. This self-directed learning platform is shown to be beneficial for non-native learners seeking to effectively master Chinese internet vocabulary. To further explore the impact of this learning system, the research methodology has been modified to include qualitative interviews with a sample of 15 students from the study group. These interviews will provide deeper insights into the learners’ experiences, perspectives, and the factors contributing to their success or challenges with the online learning platform.
