Abstract

The sudden digitalization of education in recent years has meant a radical transformation for students and educators. Forced and then driven by this technological current, both students and teachers in Spain encountered new challenges in online classes that are urgent to identify, in order to improve learning and teaching. A questionnaire-based study on the experiences and difficulties of students of Chinese as a foreign language in Spain has been conducted to investigate their perceptions on the development of language skills in face-to-face and online classes, and as a result, the low level of satisfaction of students in the development of language skills in online classes compared to face-to-face classes has been revealed. Future studies can be carried out based on this descriptive research of the current situation of digital teaching of Chinese as a foreign language in Spain.
