The sample groups were 386 Chinese language major students from 12 universities in the northeast of Thailand selected by voluntary selection, 9 Chinese language major students, and 3 Chinese language lecturers at universities in the northeast of Thailand selected by purposive sampling. The research instruments were questionnaires, interview form for students, and interview form for lectures. Content analysis, exploratory factor analysis, mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the collected data. The findings revealed that the appropriate theories and principles for improving reading and writing skills in Chinese as a second language were sociocultural theory, monitor theory, and contrastive analysis hypothesis. Factors affecting reading and writing skills in Chinese as a second language were vocabulary, grammar, language environment, attitude, motivation, and anxiety.
