Abstract

More and more attention and research have been paid to teaching from the perspective of learners and learning behaviors in modern curriculum and teaching reform, which is of great significance to the improvement of students’ Chinese learning efficiency and teaching quality. In this paper, the methods of classroom observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review are used to focus on the daily learning behavior of Thai students. This paper investigates the Chinese learning behavior of Southeast Asian students studying in China from the aspects of learning motivation, learning anxiety, time concept, classroom performance, extracurricular cultural activities, learning methods and progress, and learning and life discipline, in order to provide the research basis for finding the corresponding adjustment path and countermeasures. Xiang Kuihua holds that “learning behavior is a synonymous concept with learning activities. It is the sum of movement, action and reaction that learners show in the process of learning under the influence of subjective and objective factors, and the external expression of learners’ inner psychological qualities, such as thought, emotion, attitude, motivation and ability”[1]. Only by researching and optimizing students’ learning behavior can we fundamentally find effective learning behavior, solve students’ learning burden, and truly realize the reform of the relationship between teaching and learning, thereby improving learning efficiency and improving students’ learning quality of life. As for Southeast Asian students studying in China, different cultures will show different learning behavior representations in different students. This paper takes Thai students as a case to analyze.
