Keywords: Quizlet application; Chinese vocabulary learning; grade 5 Thai students; students' satisfaction Introduction The study's background and rationale Global economic integration and China's rising prominence have significantly increased the demand for Chinese language learning worldwide, with over 180 countries offering Chinese education and more than 20 million international learners. Thailand, which has strong economic and cultural ties with China, is actively integrating Chinese language courses into its national education system, making it the second most-spoken foreign language in the country (Fu, 2021) . Chinese language education in Thailand is rapidly developing, but it faces several challenges, notably the trend towards younger learners. Over 60% of these students are minors, exceeding global trends, raising concerns about the suitability of teaching methods and content for them (Sheng, 2019) . Additionally, difficulties in learning Chinese characters due to language differences, a shortage of Chinese language teachers, and a lack of multimedia teaching resources. These issues have an impact on the effectiveness of teaching Chinese as a foreign language in Thailand. Given the various challenges in teaching Chinese, it is critical for Chinese teachers to use creative materials and flexible teaching strategies to stimulate students' interest and curiosity. Therefore, researchers advocate the adoption of the Quizlet application as a strategic tool for learning Chinese vocabulary. Quizlet is an online learning platform that offers interactive tools like flashcards, games, and quizzes to facilitate learning and review. With a user base of over 60 million and a vast collection of over 500 million flashcards, Quizlet is popular among students, teachers, and self-learners worldwide for enhancing study efficiency and motivation. While Quizlet has gained widespread adoption in Chinese classrooms across Europe and the United States, its use in Thailand remains limited. This presents a research opportunity to explore its potential for improving Chinese vocabulary learning among Thai students in different cultural and educational contexts. Research objective 1. To compare the grade 5 Thai students' Chinese vocabulary learning before and after using the application of Quizlet. The goal is to find out how satisfied grade 5 Thai students are with using Quizlet to learn Chinese vocabulary. Research hypotheses 1. After
