Abstract:
Abstract Our study compared the teaching of Chinese credit course and Swahili credit course at the Burundi University. The goal is to find out the reasons why many students prefer to learn Chinese credit course instead of Swahili, whereas the two courses have the same volume of hours. It also aims to know the students points of view on the teaching of Chinese in Burundi, to know the problems facing the promotion of Chinese in Burundi and the appropriate measures that can be taken to resolve these problems. The study proceeded by a method of survey that we carried out among the students of the three faculties of Burundi University which teach Chinese and Swahili as credit courses: the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Sciences of the Engineer and the Higher Institute of Commerce. A 14-questions questionnaire was used to question them and 120 students were able to answer our questions. Our study led to the following results: 75% of students prefer to learn Chinese instead of Swahili. The vast majority (67%) of students who have studied the Chinese credit course at the University of Burundi have the chance to continue learning Chinese in the interest classes of Burundi University Confucius Institute. The reason to get Chinese scholarship (42%) and the reason to look for job (29%) motivate them to continue learning Chinese. In contrast, 83% of them cannot continue to learn Swahili after the credit course. The success rate in Chinese exam is higher than the one in Swahili exam. 13% of students passed with 100% and 42% passed with a mark above 90 in the 2021 Chinese exam. By the time, 7% of students passed with a mark of 100% and 8% of them passed with a mark above 90 in Swahili exam.
