Situation of Japanese Language Education at Selected High Schools in Vietnam
Get PDF近年、ベトナムでは日本語学習者数は急増している。 日本語教育はすでに高校、中学校、さらには小学校レベルでも導入されている。本調査では、2018 年にベトナムで日本語教育を実施している7 つの高校を対象として、日本語教育の現状を調査した。結果、日本語を第一外国語として学習していた学生でも、高校卒業時にはJLPT のN3 レベルであった。さらに、数学や物理などの科目では日本語での授業がないため、日本語能力が日本の大学に入るには不十分であることが明らかになった。高校生を対象とした渡日前許可制度を実施するためには、高校や学生が制度を理解すると共に、高校生の更なる日本語能力の向上が必要であると考えた。departmental bulletin pape

MODERN ANECDOTES : A POTENTIAL TOOL FOR TEACHING CROSS-CULTURAL ISSUES
Get PDFThis paper presents the results and challenges of using modern anecdotes in language lessons for warming up the class and teaching cross-culturalism. In 2020, we conducted a Vietnamese language and culture course targeting university students and adult learners in Japan. The course was conducted online using a variety of teaching methods, and participants perceived modern anecdotes as an effective way to convey cross-cultural understanding and enhance their curiosity and motivation to study the language. The study materials were designed by the trainer, and the anecdotes used in the lessons were selected from various sources. The results demonstrate that using anecdotes was an effective strategy for teaching culture and promoting understanding. The paper also examines the responses, acceptance, and preferences of learners towards using anecdotes, providing evidence for effective use and the types of anecdotes that teachers and students find effective. The findings of this study suggest that using anecdotes could contribute to stimulating learners’ motivation for better learning outcomes.journal articl

The Vision and Preference of International Students Enrolled in a Japanese Language School Post-Pandemic
Get PDFIn 2022, Japan re-opened its border creating a new wave of students coming to Japan. In the summer of 2022, we investigated a group of 36 international students, coming from eight countries, who are currently enrolled in a Japanese language school in southern Japan. We conducted a rapid survey using a qualitative approach, asking the participants about the reason why they decided to come to Japan for studying Japanese, who were influencing the decision-making process, their priority goals while staying in Japan, their preferences for the place to live and study, as well as their intention for getting a job in Japan. The results showed that the students who came to Japan tend to have more long-term visions such as gaining a degree, specialty, job, or knowledge than short-term goals such as experiencing life in Japan. More students reported making the decision to come to Japan by themselves. Many of them reported a specific field or school that they want to enroll in after checking out from the Japanese language school. While a few of them wanted to enroll in higher education, more participants preferred to enter vocational school or just start job hunting. Most of the students showed hope to find a long-term job in Japan, while over a half seemed to prefer a quiet locality to live in. These results imply that the new wave of international students in Japan may show diversified needs and preferences, and it may need further research for effective recruiting strategies.journal articl
Pursuing Desire : A Comparative Study of “La Peau de Chagrin” and “The Lotus Eater” and Their Relevance to Modern Life
Get PDFThis study presents a comparison of Honoré de Balzac’s La Peau de Chagrin and W. Somerset Maugham’s The Lotus Eater, focusing on the theme of pursuing desire and its consequences. By examining the protagonists’ motivations, life purposes, and the outcomes of their actions, the analysis reveals how each story critiques the pursuit of desires in distinct yet complementary ways. Balzac’s narrative employs a supernatural element to illustrate the existential cost of unbridled ambition, while Maugham’s tale portrays the gradual decline resulting from a life dedicated solely to pleasure. The study highlights the enduring relevance of these themes to modern life, particularly in a world increasingly dominated by instant gratification and escapism. These stories offer valuable insights into the potential pitfalls of a desire-driven existence, urging a reflection on the balance between ambition, pleasure, and responsibility in contemporary society.journal articl
