Students Learning Achievement and Satisfaction of Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK1) Reading Courses on the Udemy Platform

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of learning the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) 1 reading course through the Udemy platform and assess the learner’s satisfaction with learning the Chinese course on the Udemy platform. The participants were 30 zero-foundation learners with minimal exposure to basic Chinese expressions and were randomly selected from those enrolled in the Chinese course on Udemy. The pretest and post-test were designed for this study, and the researchers sent the satisfaction survey to the Chinese language learners to investigate the learners’ satisfaction. The findings revealed that the students’ post-test scores were significantly higher than the pretest scores; the current online Chinese language courses benefit students in learning the language. The satisfaction survey results showed that learners were satisfied with learning Chinese courses on the Udemy platform.
