Abstract
This study investigates key factors influencing the effectiveness of online international Chinese language teaching at Confucius Institutes in Thailand. Based on Learning Motivation Theory, the research focuses on three critical dimensions: classroom management, teachers’ instructional capabilities, and teachers’ information literacy. A questionnaire survey of 334 students was conducted, and statistical analysis including correlation and multiple regression revealed that all three factors significantly influence teaching effectiveness. The study provides recommendations for enhancing online Chinese teaching through improved teacher training, greater use of educational technologies, and promotion of interactive learning strategies.
