This study aimed to find specific answers to the following questions: "What kind of instruction should instructors organize to enhance the motivation of digital native learners to learn Chinese and their willingness to continue learning?", "What language functions and types of exercises should be emphasized in the instructional content?", "What aspects should be considered when creating instructional content and building a platform using online platforms?", and "How can an optimal instructional platform be built for the integrated management of instructional content?".
To respond to the new digital-based educational environment and meet the needs of learners, the focus was on creating and utilizing educational content based on online platforms, which move away from the use of traditional textbooks. By embedding various information and materials required for classes into the online platform, it was possible to provide more three-dimensional and dynamic learning materials. Additionally, activities and tasks that allow for interaction among members could be organized, providing opportunities for listening and speaking practice. The pedagogical use of online platforms can stimulate learner engagement, generate interest, and strengthen their willingness to continue learning.
Surveys of learners have been conducted to identify the demand for listening and speaking practice. In order to verify the suitability and educational utility of an educational platform built with content created on collaboration and sharing platforms, a pre-experience group of 41 instructors was recruited and piloted to test the platform. Although it was positively evaluated as effective for listening and speaking practice, there were certain limitations to utilizing the content platform only to provide integrated services to learners with content scattered on each platform.
In conclusion, a complementary measure is proposed: an integrated Wordpress-based service platform. This platform aims to replace the functions of traditional textbooks and provide integrated learning materials to learners.
