This quantitative study investigated whether the application of Problem based learning (PBL) method improved grade 5 Chinese students’ Chinese reading skill and their satisfaction in learning Chinese reading. The sample group consisted of 30 Chinese students studying in grade 5 in Guizhou Province, China. The data were collected through the use of four lesson plans, pretest and posttest as well as questionnaire, and analyzed using descriptive statistics analysis and paired-sample t-test. The data collection lasted for four weeks with the teaching experiment which was carried out online. The results obtained from the pretest and posttest revealed that the students in a sample group improved their Chinese reading skill with the mean score of posttest (x̅=26.37, SD=2.54) and the mean score of pretest (x̅=22.57, SD=4.22), resulting in the mean difference of 3.8 points. Almost all of the items of the questionnaire were rated in the highest level. Most students in a sample group expressed remarkable satisfaction towards the application of PBL method in learning Chinese reading. This study has proved that the use of PBL method sheds light on an alternative effective way of learning Chinese reading. In other words, this may be considered as an option for Chinese language teachers in China and all.
