The research indicates that (1) in the language attitude survey, many respondents hold positive attitudes towards learning Chinese. Different "ages" have a significant impact on Chinese language attitudes, but "gender," "Chinese proficiency," "learning time," "family background," and "whether visited China" do not significantly affect Chinese language attitudes. (2) In the language proficiency survey, Chinese proficiency is significantly influenced by age, learning time, Chinese proficiency, and family background. (3) In the language usage survey, significant differences were found in language use concerning gender, duration of study, proficiency level in Chinese, family background, and study plans. Regarding regional Chinese language usage, it is more prevalent in school and media environments as well as specific settings, while its usage is relatively limited in family and public spaces. |
