Learning the Chinese language has become a recent trend around the globe. Initially, only the descendants of Chinese-speaking immigrants would need to learn the mother tongue. Nevertheless, even non-Chinese descendants of Americans are actively learning Chinese for many reasons, including promoting self-values. As Ginsburgh, Melitz, and Toubal (2014) suggest, "growth in Chinese/English trade should promote the learning of Chinese in Native-English countries just as it should promote the learning of English in Native-Chinese countries" (p. 19), the world economic activities are powerful reasons that are driving people to learn Chinese. In response to such demand, many institutions provide programs catering to the Chinese language arts. This study will focus on English and Spanish-speaking Hispanics who are college students in the South and East Texas area learning Chinese as their third language. By realizing that being bilingual benefits their future, learning Chinese as a third language would be a massive breakthrough in their language learning to promote their career success. Therefore, this research explores the motivations and purposes of Hispanic college students learning Chinese as their third language.
