Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if there were significant differences between Grade 7 students’ Chinese listening achievement with bilingual teaching method (BTM) and monolingual teaching method (MTM) in learning CFL class at an international school in Bangkok, Thailand, in the academic year 2021-2022. This study was conducted on a population sample of 59 Grade 7 students who were divided into two groups. The experimental group was taught with BTM, while the control group was taught with MTM, taught with the same lesson plans within a six-week experimental period. The research instrument was designed through pretest and posttest of the listening section of the YCT (Level 2) test. YCT was an international standardized test of Chinese language proficiency. The data was collected from the pretest and the posttest scores and compared through both descriptive (i.e., mean and standard deviation) and inferential (i.e. independent samples t-test) statistics methods. The results showed that there was a significant difference between Grade 7 students’ Chinese listening gain achievement with BTM and MTM. Compared to MTM, students could learn better when they learned with BTM. According to these findings, the researcher put forward some recommendations for TCFL teachers, students, administrators, and future researchers in this field.
