Kata Kunci:
Chinese as a second language, educational psychology, learning strategies, motivation, teaching effectivenessAbstrak
This paper explores the significance of educational psychology in shaping effective teaching strategies for Chinese as a second language (CSL). With the increasing global demand for CSL learning, it is crucial to understand how psychological principles influence students’ motivation, cognition, and learning outcomes. The aim of this study is to analyze how educational psychology contributes to the design of learner-centered approaches that address challenges such as language anxiety, cultural adaptation, and differentiated learning needs. Methodologically, the paper applies a qualitative review of current literature, supported by case-based analysis of CSL classroom practices. The results highlight that integrating psychological insights enhances students’ engagement, improves retention, and fosters intercultural competence. The findings conclude that effective use of educational psychology not only improves teaching efficiency but also supports sustainable language learning outcomes. This study contributes to the growing discourse on interdisciplinary research by bridging psychology and language education, offering practical implications for teachers, policymakers, and institutions in promoting CSL globally.
