A Digital Teaching Paradigm: Natural Language Processing Integrates to Teaching Chinese as The Second Language

2024-01-31T11:39:51+07:00

This research aims to study the integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools in teaching Chinese as a second language (TCSL), a domain of increasing importance due to the global demand for Chinese language proficiency. The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of NLP tools in improving essential language skills such as vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and character recognition. Additionally, the study explored learner engagement and the differential impact of these tools across various demographic factors, including age, language background, and learning style. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative research. The quantitative analysis involved 100 students at different proficiency levels who completed pre-and post-tests to gauge improvements in language proficiency. Qualitative data were obtained through interviews with 10 Chinese language teachers, providing insights into user experiences and challenges. Case studies further illustrated the practical application of NLP tools in real-world settings. The findings demonstrated significant improvements in all language skills, with NLP-supported learners outperforming those relying on traditional methods. Positive learner engagement was observed, though challenges, such as understanding cultural nuances (e.g., the Chinese idiom "吃亏" (chī kuī), which means "suffer a disadvantage"), and technical issues were noted. The study concluded that NLP tools are a valuable addition to TCSL, offering enhanced learning outcomes and flexibility for diverse learner needs while identifying areas for Improvement, particularly in addressing cultural content and technical refinement. This research contributes to language learning, NLP, and educational technology, advancing technology integration in language education.

Using Chatbots to Promote the Teaching of Chinese as a Second Language: Dilemmas and Opportunities for Student Learning

2024-01-31T11:42:45+07:00

This study delves into the role of chatbots in promoting the effectiveness, dilemmas, and student learning opportunities in teaching Chinese as a second language. The use of chatbots in simulating honest conversations, providing personalized learning support, and the teaching and learning process were analyzed. The study used an in-depth analysis of the practical application of chatbots in language learning environments and a literature analysis approach. It was found that chatbots provided students with a low-risk language practice environment, effectively improved language fluency and complexity, and helped build students' self-confidence. Regarding personalized learning support, chatbots demonstrate the potential to diagnose learners' weaknesses and provide targeted practice. However, the extent to which this can be achieved is constrained by algorithmic complexity and the quality of input data. Chatbots are considered a valuable tool for teachers to manage lessons and students in instructional Support. Chatbots have technical and practical challenges in teaching Chinese as a second language. However, through continuous research and improvement, the use of chatbots in second language learning will become more pervasive and efficient, and further research on its long-term impact and broader application scenarios is encouraged to realize its maximum potential as a teaching aid.

Exploring the Characteristics of “New Middle Class” Social Media Consumption in the Development of New Consumption in China: A Case Study of TikTok Social Media

2024-10-18T22:26:54+07:00

This research aimed to study the influence of the digital economy and lenient financial policies on the growth of the Chinese new middle class, the impact of new consumption pressures and the deepening usage of social me dia on the consumption intentions of this group, and the factors influencing the consumption decisions of the Chinese new middle class on the "TikTok" social media platform. In this study, 21 subjects were selected, all of whom exemplified the characteristics of China's emerging middle class. The selection was conducted using purposive sampling.

The instrument for collecting data was semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The research results were found as follows: The platform's consumption environment significantly influences the consumption decisions of the new middle class; mutual perceptions among users play a key role in shaping their attitudes towards consumption on social media platforms; platform management systems and individual differences are also critical factors affecting their consumption behavior.

Analysis on the Poverty Reduction and Income Increase Effect of Digital Financial Inclusion—Evidence from 1736 counties of China

2024-03-30T17:45:39+07:00

The third technological revolution based on the Internet that humanity is experiencing has a vast and far-reaching impact on efficiency and fairness. Under the powerful catalysis of the Internet revolution, China has rapidly developed a digital economy and finance. This paper combines the data of 1736 counties in China from 2014 to 2017 and the Peking University Digital Financial Inclusive County Index, using the panel instrumental variable quantile regression method to empirically analyze the effect of digital financial inclusive finance on poverty reduction and income increase of Chinese county residents. The research results show that, on the whole, Digital Financial Inclusion (DFI) has significantly promoted the income growth of residents in poor and non-poor counties; the panel instrumental variable quantile regression results show that DFI has a more obvious income increase effect on low-income groups. The further sub-sample regression of impoverished counties and non-poverty counties and the division of the sample into three major regions: East, middle, and west, the regression results show that the effect of DFI on low-income groups is more obvious; DFI can strengthen the role of traditional financial development and promotion, employment increase and industrial structure upgrading in promoting poverty reduction and income increase, but this conclusion is not valid in poor counties. Therefore, China should vigorously develop DFI as a way for low-income groups to reduce poverty and increase income.

Study on Trade Protection of Xinjiang in International Trade

2024-01-06T20:55:26+07:00

The COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 has affected the economies of various countries. The problem of anti-globalization has intensified under the background of the epidemic. International trade protection behaviors are also increasing, and more and more countries and cities are affected by trade barriers. Epidemic prevention and control, ensuring national security, and maintaining a new trade environment have become trade barriers—breeding excuses. The main reason is that the complex form of the epidemic has led to stricter trade barriers. From a provincial perspective, the epidemic has impacted the internal and external environment of Xinjiang, China’s future development, studied the trade protection received by Xinjiang and provided practical guidance for Xinjiang’s better participation in international trade.

A Literature Review on Socialized Agricultural Services Enabling High-Quality Rural Development

2024-01-06T19:59:00+07:00

The development of socialized agricultural services is an important starting point for deepening the structural reform of the agricultural supply side and promoting the revitalization of rural industries. It is an effective way to promote the continuous increase of farmers' income, promote high-quality rural development, and decisively build a well-off society in an all-round way. The development of agricultural socialized services and the high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas are hot topics in rural economics, development economics, and other related disciplines. From theoretical and empirical aspects, the existing studies are summarized. The following questions are discussed: The connotation and level measurement of agricultural socialized service and high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas, the impact of agricultural socialized service on high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas, and point out that in the future, we should focus on the perspective of new development concepts, in-depth exploration of the logical mechanism of agricultural socialized service enabling high-quality development of rural areas.
