Education witnessed tremendous changes with the rapid digitalization, which revolutionized conventional approaches and opened up new avenues for interaction between educators and students. While there is no doubt that digitalization has created new potential, it poses some critical hurdles that are in need of urgent addressing. In light of this, this chapter will delve into analyzing the changes of teaching and learning under a new digital era by particularly drawing focus on the higher education system in Malaysia. Next, a review will be provided on the impact of such changes on the learners as well as on the educators. In addition, the authors examine the obstacles encountered and benefits that can be obtained with the evolution of education under digitalization pressure. It is increasingly imperative for us to re-evaluate institutional structures, educational policies, and the overarching goals of higher education. With the embracement of the potential digital technologies, educators and policymakers can collaboratively design a future-proofed educational landscape.

This study reviews the publication trends on Chinese as a second language, which indicates the current situation, research gaps, and potential directions for future research. This review examines Chinese as a second language journal publications produced by lecturers and researchers at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) since the publications are scattered without systematic organisation, making it difficult to determine which direction the research is headed and to foresee the topics of interest that will encourage future growth. This review conducted a systematic review of 75 journal articles published from 2013 to 2023, focusing on publication status and trends, co-authorship, and content scope. As a result, this study discovered a publication gap between general-UiTM-recognised journals and international-recognised journals. It proposed to broaden the expertise collaboration to international networking. This study also identifies population gaps, which urged conducting research at a wider range. In terms of content scope, research gaps were found in theoretical, conceptual, model, and tool-building research, as well as in-depth investigation of Chinese language, culture, and social studies. The incorporation of technology in future research is prospective due to the current rise in digital awareness. Moreover, learners’ behaviour in learning Chinese as a second language should be further investigated due to dispersive research. This systematic review contributes to the continuous development of researching and instructing Chinese as a second language in UiTM. It serves as a guide for other Malaysian higher education institutions with a similar research interest.
