A Teaching Reflection on Chinese Pronunciation Practice Classes for Thai Corporate Employees from Non-Chinese Major : A Case Study of Companies S, M, N

Abstract

In recent years, with the deepening of Sino-Thai economic, trade, and cultural exchanges, the demand for Chinese language training in Thai enterprises has been on the rise. However, most enterprise employees are non-Chinese majors, whose learning characteristics differ from those in regular Chinese classrooms, with their pronunciation being significantly influenced by their native language. This study focuses on employees from S, M, and N enterprises, analyzing the teaching design and practice of pronunciation training courses from the perspective of classroom interaction. Based on the analysis of classroom interaction behaviors, the study proposes optimized teaching strategies that integrate pronunciation training and speaking courses, including improvements in content design, seamless lesson transitions, and enhanced interaction flexibility, providing practical insights for Chinese language training in Thai enterprises.
