metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: This study aimed to 1) investigate the classroom instruction used in Chinese language teaching, 2) explore the issues related to classroom instruction, and 3) identify ways to address the issues in an international school, Bangkok, Thailand. This study used the whole teacher population (N=35) as the subjects of the study. 33 teachers in total returned the questionnaire, and we purposefully selected eight Chinese teachers for in-depth interviews. The questionnaire data were analyzed using average and standard deviation (SD). The interview data were analyzed usingthethree stepsof the GroundedTheory:opencoding,axial coding and selective coding. The results showed that Chinese teachers at this school rarely used Thai in their instruction. Instead, they frequently used either Chinese instruction or instruction aided by English. Prior to class, the majority of teachers provided language tests, reviewedclassroomruleswiththe pupils, mostlyemployedlecturingtechniques,and routinely tested the students' Chinese language skills. However, several issues were found, namely inadequate preparation of lesson plans, a lack of classroom engagement, a mismatch between the curriculum and real learning objectives, and outdated teaching resources. The ways to improve Chinese classroom instruction included ensuring that teachers are aware of their students' backgrounds and needs, creating classroom rules in advance, creating a dynamic learning environment, and utilizing morepairworkratherthangroupworkfor assignments.
