Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of mobile applications in enhancing spoken Chinese ability using a mixed-methods approach. A 24-week longitudinal study with 122 learners from the fourth level of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi was conducted, dividing participants into three groups to assess different technological interventions. Results indicate that real-time acoustic feedback significantly improves tone accuracy, while virtual reality training enhances language coherence and nonverbal skills. However, feedback timeliness and cognitive load in virtual reality environments exhibit threshold effects, necessitating optimal intervention strategies. A three-tier early warning system was developed to support high-risk learners, improving retention and progress. The findings contribute to dynamic system and cognitive load theories, providing guidelines for developing mobile applications in language education and emphasizing the balance between technical synergy and cognitive adaptation.
