This is apparently due to the fact that integrativeness helps to enhance students’
willingness to learn an L2. Furthermore, universities should come up with ways to help
students at intermediate level of studying Chinese since this stage was sought to be
problematic for the students. This can be done by developing a Chinese language
curriculum for with more engaging activities and themes that learners have interest in.
Teachers of Chinese language should also be educated about certain features of Asian
students that hinder their L2 learning. This will help the teachers to come up with ways
of helping them.
