Abstract

This paper constructs a Chinese idiom exercise system based on the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) and tailored to the specific learning needs of Vietnamese students majoring in Chinese language studies  The research implements a comprehensive web-based platform called "Guyu," which provides structured content covering commonly used Chinese idioms through both theoretical explanations and practical consolidation exercises. The system incorporates five distinct exercise types: idiom-meaning matching activities, identical idiom identification puzzles, sentence construction tasks using target idioms, multiple-choice comprehension questions, and paragraph completion exercises requiring appropriate idiom selection. In addition, the website features integrated search functionality and digital flashcard tools designed to facilitate autonomous learning and systematic practice of Chinese idioms. To ensure methodological rigor and pedagogical effectiveness, the system's impact was evaluated through comprehensive questionnaire surveys and performance assessments, with findings informing specific recommendations for future system enhancement and optimization.
