Abstract

With the rapid development of digital education, Chinese language teaching in Thai secondary schools faces growing pressure in both pedagogy and technology integration. This study examines the current situation of Chinese language teaching in the digital era by analyzing teachers’ instructional practices, use of digital tools, and the challenges they encounter. Fifteen teachers from different schools were grouped by teaching experience, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic qualitative methods. The findings show that although most teachers possess basic technological skills, they still struggle with limited digital literacy, rigid teaching models, inadequate preparation of digital teaching materials, and insufficient support for students’ self-directed learning. To address these issues, the study proposes four development pathways: personalized technology training, innovation in teaching models, improved preparation of instructional resources, and strengthened cultivation of learner autonomy. The results provide useful references for enhancing digital-era Chinese language teaching in Thai secondary schools and offer insights for teacher development and educational policy planning
