บทคัดย่อ

        This study explored the influence of international Chinese learners' learning climate on Chinese language acquisition, and analysed the four dimensions of physical, social, emotional and cultural environments through questionnaires. The study used a combination of convenience sampling and multi-stage probability sampling for sample sampling. Firstly, the researcher selected three universities as the sample source, namely Gloria University, Thailand, Boiren University, Thailand, and Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. Secondly, one class was selected for sampling between different grades. First, the questionnaire was carefully designed to ensure the validity and credibility of the questions based on references to relevant studies at home and abroad. 450 questionnaires were distributed through various ways. These ways include field research and online questionnaires. In this study, the actual number of recoveries reached 426 with a high recovery rate of 94.7%. This high recovery rate ensures the adequacy and representativeness of the data obtained in this study and provides a reliable basis for further analyses and research. The study found that there is a significant correlation between learning atmosphere and Chinese language acquisition, in which good physical, social, emotional and cultural environmental factors have a positive impact on learners' concentration and learning outcomes. Therefore, educators and parents should pay attention to creating and adjusting the learning atmosphere in order to promote the improvement of Chinese language acquisition among international Chinese learners.
