Abstract: This study aimed 1) to investigate the effects of Chinese as a medium of instruction (CMI) on the Chinese math score, 2) to find out the level of Chinese knowledge of Thai first-graders, and 3) to identify the factors affecting Chinese language learning of the students in Chinese math class when using CMI. The study adopted mix-methods research approach to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data from a class of 21 Thai first graders selected with the convenience sampling method. Pre/post-tests of Chinese math and YCT Level 1 were given to the students to compare the scores of Chinese math and Chinese language knowledge at the beginning and at the end of the course using CMI. The findings of the study revealed that the mean scores of the post-test of the students in Chinese math (x̄=95.95/S.D.=7.19) and Chinese language knowledge (x̄=196.68/S.D.=5.83) were higher than those of the pretests (x̄=16.14/S.D.=7.28; x̄=96.28/S.D.=22.56) sequentially at a significant value of P=.001. The teacher/researcher’s journal revealed that the enhancement of Chinese language learning of the students was notably influenced by eight key factors: 1) students’ behavior, 2) classroom management strategies, 3) teacher-student interaction, 4) teaching aids, 5) teacher’s support, 6) classroom atmosphere, 7) students’ learning outcomes and 8) Chinese ability.
