Abstract

Learning needs are the subjective requirements and desires of students in the learning process. This research examines the learning needs of 238 English majors in Ho Chi Minh University of Banking in Chinese as a second foreign language. The results show that: (1) in terms of learning content, students need to learn more related content outside of the textbook, improve vocabulary and listening and speaking skills; (2) in terms of teaching activities, students need teachers to teach in Chinese and Vietnamese, need to practice through games, expect teachers to ask open questions and do not ask them to answer in order, need to wait for them to post them before correcting errors; (3) in terms of teaching materials, students need to learn topics related to daily life, Chinese culture, customs and habits; (4) in terms of teachers, students expect teachers to be both knowledge imparter and motivational motivator, possess profound knowledge and be amiable and not too strict to students. The research results also show that students with different cultural backgrounds or learning in different language environments will have different Chinese learning needs.
