Chinese speech synthesis refers to the technology that machines transform human speech signals into corresponding texts or commands through recognition and understanding. This paper combines the classic VAD and GSM VAD1 algorithm simulations, improves on the above two algorithms to recognize and collect speech, and analyzes their Chinese proficiency by amplifying the signal through a filter, in order to study the adulthood of Zhengzhou University in Southeast Asian students (mother tongues are Indonesian and Thai) as the research objects, to explore the relationship between the Chinese phonetic proficiency and the acquisition motivation of Southeast Asian students. This article combines algorithm and language disciplines. According to the results of Praat and SPSS: 55-80 points account for 70%, 55 points below 20% and 80 points above 10%, we find that intrinsic motivation plays a role in CSL acquisition, a vital role. Intrinsic motivation can help mature learners from Southeast Asia to acquire Chinese better and better. The earlier you learn Chinese, the higher your motivation, and the easier it is to set your Chinese learning goals. The greater the enthusiasm for learning Chinese, the better the Chinese scores (such as HSK test scores and Chinese phonetic test scores). Therefore, the Chinese proficiency of international students has a great relationship with their interest in Chinese language, that is, the greater the interest in Chinese, the stronger their motivation to learn, and the Chinese proficiency will be very good.

This study aims to discover the effect of language environment on learning the Arabic language held in Indonesia and Sudan and also to identify the patterns of influence in the acquisition of the Arabic language. In this study, the researcher used the analytical and comparative descriptive method by using various tools: oral and written test for Southeast Asian students who are learning the Arabic language in the Center for Language Development in Indonesia and the Institute of Arabic Language in Sudan. The interview was held to some experts in Arabic teaching who had academic experience in both environments. From this research, it is found that the difference between both environments in the effect is very low; the Indonesian environment may affect students more active than average students in the Sudanese environment. Active learning and active acquisition may remove these environmental boundaries and enables them to improve their Arabic language skills.

Based on the framework of critical quantitative intersectionality, the purpose of this study is to examine the multifaceted impacts of Southeast Asian female students’ race or ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status on math achievement score and intention to enter higher education. This study found that math achievement scores of Southeast Asian students were significantly higher than those of other race or ethnicity groups. However, Southeast Asian female students’ intention to pursue higher education was significantly lower than that of Southeast Asian males as well as being the lowest among all female students. The school organizational characteristics used in this study did not mediate or differentiate the intersectionalities related to Southeast Asian female students. The patterns held regardless of schooling contexts.

Using data from two cohorts of Grade 12 students in Toronto, we examined whether the transition to post-secondary education changed between 2006 and 2011, particularly for under-represented groups. We used multilevel, multinomial logistic regressions to examine how the intersections of race and sex affect post-secondary transitions in the two cohorts. Our findings revealed that Black, Latino, and Southeast Asian students were less prepared for post-secondary education than White students. Students in these groups had lower than average GPAs, higher identification of special education needs, or lower likelihoods of taking academic-stream courses. These differences remained fairly stable between 2006 and 2011. We did, however, find that Black students were more likely than White students to confirm a place in university in 2011—a significant difference. In contrast, Southeast Asian students experienced a decline in university transition but an increase in college confirmation. We also found that race and sex were important intersections for university confirmations in the case of Blacks and for college confirmations in the case of Southeast Asians. We contextualize our findings within the policy climate of Ontario in the years spanning our two cohorts.

Southeast Asia has experienced a remarkable development of student mobility: A significantly increasing number of Southeast Asian students study abroad in western developed countries, and a gradually increasing number of international students from Southeast Asia, South Korea, China, India, and some western countries study in Southeast Asia. However, these countries also encounter several challenges to advancing these programs.

AbstractThis article discusses eleven Southeast Asian students’ transnational mobility in order to obtain higher education at an Islamic university in Jakarta. A life story approach has been used and semi-structured and interviewee-oriented interviews have been carried out in the field, as well as on the internet. The focus is not only on the students’ individual experiences, such as educational background, strategies in mobility, prevailing life conditions, educational objectives, and future plans, but also on why they chose international Islamic studies in Jakarta and how they evaluate the education offered there. Gender constitutes an overall empirical and analytical aspect of this article, taking into account the prevailing gender order, or norm, in the students’ homelands and families, as well as gender regimes, or relations, in the educational and social environment in Jakarta. These students have mixed backgrounds regarding nationality, class, parents’ education, gendered and religious norms, and previous contacts outside of their homelands. All, however, accumulate social capital in the transnational social fields or networks – physical and digital – that they take part in during their time in Jakarta and after they finalised their studies. All the students plan for further studies or a working career, and a majority of the students intend to return – or have already returned – to their home country, while a few prefer a third country. They can be defined as so-called temporarily uprooted locals, with an even spread on a scale from localism to cosmopolitanism in their individual identity formation.

International students bring racial attitudes and group preferences that affect campus climates. Forty-seven Chinese, Japanese, and Korean college international students were interviewed, regarding their perceptions of race/ethnicity and nationality, when it comes to dating and romantic relationships on college campuses. Thirty-five out of forty-seven students interviewed said they would ideally want to date someone from their own cultural background, so that communication gaps would not occur, but when probed beyond language barriers, international students appeared to have a racial hierarchy when it came to dating. Students were not only influenced by parental approval of dating partners, but also US media images that helped create a racial hierarchy of dating and cultural capital. White Americans were the most desirable dating partner for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean international students; Asian-Americans were slightly below white Americans, while African-American, Latino, and Southeast Asian students were the least desirous.

There are a number of Southeast Asian students begin to learn Chinese in their own country based on traditional Chinese characters. Therefore, author based on own learning experience talked about the influence of mastering traditional characters to learn simplified Chinese characters. By collecting the traditionalcharacter texts, summarizing the occurrence of error categories of simplified Chinese characters, and based on the Chinese character simplification methods in “Fan Jian Zi Duizhao Zidian”, research summed up the difficulties in learning Chinese simplified characters. This study was mainly based on the analogy simplified characters as the breakthrough point. The first part of this article introduces the classification of pictophonogram characters in simplified. The second part of the article introduces the impact of learning simplifiedChinese characters while learners get traditional characters background. The last part, article draws the conclusion that the impact of mastering traditional characters to learn simplified Chinese characters might be a double-edged sword. The proper understanding is helpful to the study of simplified characters, grasp the inappropriate is likely to mislead the learner.
