Based on the results, it is recommended
that for those who are engaged in teaching
Japanese or Chinese, they should be aware of
the different factors influencing the choices that
learners made in taking Japanese or Chinese.
Therefore, the curriculum should be redesigned
to utilize their merits, and to raise learners’
motivation towards learning.
In addition, it is clear that in teaching any
subject, the teacher has to understand students’
preferences, interesting and enjoyable activities,
as well as their needs. This knowledge is crucial
because it would most likely help the teacher
in preparing lessons to meet the students’
learning purposes.
The findings would be useful for the
institute’s courses and syllabus designs, marketing,
and ideas for other researchers who may have
different or similar contexts.
