Abstract
This paper selected an international school in Brunei as a research case, and used the Learning Behaviors Scale (LBS) to analyze the learning behaviors of learners in Chinese learning. According to statistics gathered by questionnaires, this essay analyzed the results via SPSS 22.0, and reported that when learning Chinese as a second language, all the four dimensions of learning motivation, attitude, attention and strategy were positively correlated with the learners’ academic performance; differences in learning duration could lead to those in learning behaviors; differences also occurred in the learning behaviors between male and female students, i.e. boys performed weaker than girls in terms of the above four dimensions; there was a correlation between learners’ language learning behaviors and their family languages, i.e. different family languages had an impact on all the four dimensions of learners’ learning behaviors, among which difference between motivation and strategy was quite big; in addition, differences in religious beliefs did not affect learners’ second language learning behaviors. Based on these research results, the paper advocates that the idea of computer-based education can be introduced to help students establish reasonable Chinese learning behaviors. At the same time, this study can provide several useful tips on international Chinese education integrated with computer technology.
