Chinese AIGC Group – ChinAITalk

 

China’s increasing influence in global economics and culture has led to rising interest among foreigners in learning Chinese for business collaboration, educational endeavours and cultural exchange. As part of a teacher-researcher community, our team has identified several challenges in Chinese language education: the problem of allocating sufficient time for learning and practice, the lack of immersive language environments, and limited availability of qualified Chinese educators. To address these challenges, we propose developing a Chinese language learning app that offers an immersive learning experience while fostering students' interest, including:

 

  1. Developing a practical Chinese learning app that allows students to study using mobile devices at a convenient time.
  2. Establishing extensive resources with diverse Chinese learning materials, like dialogues and short narratives, to cater for different proficiency levels . This will enhance the practicality of their acquired knowledge while ensuring an engaging learning experience.
  3. Developing a dynamic real-time dialogue function that allows students to engage in authentic conversations. This function will offer pronunciation and vocabulary learning guidance and support the translation of multiple languages for teaching assistance.
  4. Creating a personalised learning customisation system that allows students to tailor their learning experience according to their interests and to find teachers online.
