  ABSTRACT: In this qualitative study, students and Chinese teachers were interviewed for the purpose of improving Chinese language listening and speaking skills among first-year students at a university in Thailand. A total of 10 first-year students major in Bachelor of Arts in Chinese and 5 experienced Chinese teachers were interviewed, and the results of the interviews showed that motivation, self-confidence, and learning strategies are important factors in developing language skills. The findings were then used to create a customized curriculum for the students that focused on building their confidence and increasing their motivation. By providing a curriculum that incorporated these elements, the researchers were able to ensure that the students were able to learn more effectively and efficiently.
