Abstract

Nowadays, ChatGPT usage is widely known in various aspects, including language learning. This study aims to understand the perceptions and attitudes of Chinese literature students regarding the use of ChatGPT for Mandarin learning. A survey research method was employed, and data were collected from 32 students who had experience using ChatGPT for Mandarin learning. The findings indicate that students generally have positive perceptions and attitudes towards ChatGPT, considering it convenient and effective for learning Mandarin. They perceive various advantages of ChatGPT, such as improving the quality of their Mandarin learning and enhancing their language skills. However, concerns about potential disadvantages, such as issues with plagiarism or inaccurate information, were also identified. These findings suggest that ChatGPT is a valuable tool for Mandarin learning, but further research is needed to address concerns related to plagiarism and accuracy to optimize its effectiveness in educational settings.
