N2 - The development and acceptance pace of Mobile Learning Technologies are increasing rapidly as there are abundant applications for mobile learning technologies in education, from the ability to convey learning modules as well as facilitating learners to communicate and learn "on-the-go". Mobile Learning in Chinese has become to play a role in the attainment of Chinese proficiency; therefore, International Students face many issues related to the Chinese Language itself. This paper explains the development of a UI-based mobile learning system for learning Chinese as a second language. QT SDK Framework was used to develop this system that works on mobile phones. Ten Chinese Lessons were developed for this system. International Students at National Chiao Tung University tried out this system using their mobile phones for 5 weeks. Surveys were used to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of the system.
