Abstract

The aim of this research was to explore the motivation of Chinese learners in Tra Vinh province and to understand the opportunities and challenges they encounter in the process of learning Chinese. This study also aims to propose solutions to improve the quality of Chinese language learning. The research utilized a quantitative approach to collect data through a survey questionnaire. The results indicated that the motivation to learn Chinese among learners depends on both integrative orientations and instrumental orientations. However, in general, instrumental factors such as job opportunities and income accounted for the highest proportion. Although there are currently many opportunities available to Chinese learners, the challenges they face in Tra Vinh province are significant, requiring each learner to make continuous efforts and leverage existing advantages to overcome obstacles and improve their Chinese language learning outcomes.
