In introductory or beginning Japanese classes overseas, teaching is often conducted in the learners' first languages. In Japan, teaching Japanese in English as an intermediary language has become more popular. However, little research on using an intermediary language in Japanese classrooms has been done. In this study, video data on beginning Japanese classes where teachers used English as an intermediary language was analyzed to consider approaches to using English more efficiently.

Center for Japanese Language at Waseda University held a "kanji workshop" to provide international students with an environment in which they can master not only kanji but also kanji learning methods, and then proceed with their kanji learning autonomously. This workshop consisted of the following activities: 1) an introduction to kanji learning resources, as well as tasks introducing the use of the kanji learning tools; 2) the planning of kanji learning and its review; 3) the sharing of kanji learning methods among learners; and 4) the creation of personalized dictionaries and their sharing among learners. This paper describes the activities carried out in this workshop, and reports on the results of a questionnaire survey.

日本人が外国人の話す日本語の音声を評価する際、単音と韻律のどちらがその評価に大きな影響力を持つかを明らかにするために、合成音声を作成し、日本人を対象に聴取実験を行った。その結果、中国語・韓国語を母語とする日本語学習者については、韻律の影響力が単音の影響力を上回るという結果が得られた。

In recent years, task-based Japanese teaching materials, such as Dekiru Nihongo (DK), have been published. This study provides a practical report of an intensive Japanese language program using the textbook DK for international university students, comparing it with the program that uses Minna no Nihongo (MN). The results indicate that students can improve their listening and production skills more by using DK, less grammatical knowledge is provided in DK, and academic contextualization is required to fulfill students' learning needs.

In academic writing, citation instruction is necessary, but there has not been sufficient study on teaching it effectively. Especially in the case of indirect quotations, the tendency to summarize or explain the original text can be seen and there has been very little discussion on how to adapt a summary to an indirect quotation. On the other hand, summarization has long been carried out and researched as a part of reading and writing instruction and that knowledge has accumulated. This paper will examine whether or not the summarization taught in reading/writing is relevant for the purpose of indirect quotation instruction.

It is pointed out that in textbooks based on a communicative approach, the amount of grammatical items at early stages is very large and the learner's load might be very great since they aim at introducing natural conversations as a very early stage. Thus this study investigated the amount of grammatical items in main Japanese textbooks for beginners. The results showed that even in sentence pattern oriented textbooks, the amount of grammatical items is very large at early stages and it varies greatly at later stages.

A placement test (PT) should be administered to many test-takers simultaneously, simply, and in a short period of time. Additionally, its results should have high reliability. However, conventional speaking tests do not satisfy these conditions. To address this, we have developed STAR, Speaking Test of Active Reaction, along with two evaluation tools: a rubric and audio samples. Using these, five evaluators graded the performance of 32 test-takers. We found a high intraclass correlation coefficient and that the raters gave results consistent with one another. Time spent on evaluation was short— fewer than two minutes per test-taker. Therefore, we conclude that as a speaking test for PT, STAR has the necessary qualities of reliability, validity, and usefulness.

This study observed the usage of the sentence final particle ne by a Taiwanese learner of Japanese. It focused on ne's frequency and function. The research was carried out over 6 months through LINE conversation once a week and an oral conversation once after six LINE conversations. Analysis revealed that oral conversation did not show changes while LINE conversation showed some changes in frequency and function. Notably, in the third term soudesune may have been used as a chunk. In addition, the usage of sone rapidly increased in the fourth term perhaps due to having more input and opportunities to use it.

As part of a Japanese language academic writing class for international graduate students, a trial activity to enhance the understanding of the use of references in specialized fields was used. The students considered the placement and purpose of citations and how they were introduced in papers in their own fields of study and responded to questions about what they found. Their responses showed that, through this activity, they gained not only a better understanding of the use of references, but their understanding of the content of the paper deepened and they were better able to evaluate the paper. It appears that this activity can be effective with a class of students from different fields.

In the current era where information equipment is widespread, research was conducted regarding the extent to which beginner Kanji learners -whose native language does not include Kanji characters in their writing system- are seeking recognition, reading, meaning, usage, and reproduction of the shape of Kanji characters. As a result, it was found that all of them seeked to learn to read Kanji words and to convert Kanji through typing. It was also revealed that many students sought the ability to handwrite Kanji, demonstrating their desire to be able to use Kanji through both handwriting and typing.

In this study, the author analyzed vocabulary in elementary and junior high school textbooks for children with foreign backgrounds from the perspective of collocations. The types of collocations used in BCCWJ textbooks were surveyed, analyzed. This resulted in the compilation of a "List of collocations and related vocabulary in elementary and junior high school textbooks" by subject. The list includes supplementary information on the meanings of nouns and verbs, context, antonyms and contrary phrases, and common expressions. Finally, based on this list, as a basic pedagogical method, the author created sample assignments and review exercises.

It is essential for Japanese language learners to have sufficient skills to conduct casual conversations with native speakers to develop their language proficiency as well as their personal networks. The analysis of casual conversations in contact situations shows us the reaction to &quotiisashi" ―the suspended sentences or the sentence-ending ellipsis is one of the critical points for the smooth interactions and even a learner in advanced level needs practice to give proper reaction to it.

In this paper, I will examine advanced level learners' thinking process from their talks after completion of the writing task requiring citation along with their works. The purpose is to find clues for effective teaching of citation, one of the necessary skills for academic writing. In a writing class for advanced level learners, I introduced a practice determining whether to use direct citation or indirect citation for several times during the course. The said task was given at the closing hours. First I would examine effectiveness of the practice and then present the clues for further teaching.

In this paper, I analyze how Japanese textbooks for prospective foreign caregivers teach the euphemistic polite expressions which caregivers should use with their patients. In order to obtain a license as a caregiver in Japan, foreigners must pass an exam demonstrating proficiency in the Japanese language. Because foreign caregivers may experience cultural confusion in addressing their patients because of many euphemistic Japanese expressions, textbooks explain the importance of polite ways to express euphemistic issues. Textbooks don't distinguish between ways to speak about technical terms and general ones, this paper focuses on how textbooks teach the euphemistic expression of general terms.

This research is about difference of rejection phrases in Japanese and Azerbaijan Languages. The difference may occur a misunderstanding among Japanese speakers and Japanese language learners of Azerbaijan. Especially, the reason explanation of rejection plays different role and has different meaning in both languages. This could be an obstacle for Japanese learners during communication with native speakers.

Extensive reading is generally considered as input learning by reading. However, as extensive reading is not believed to enhance a class's comprehensive learning effect unless accompanied with output after reading, ways for extensive reading to lead to output must be considered. Therefore, in this research, an extensive reading class with output is implemented and those results are examined to develop a curriculum design for an extensive reading class. As a result, learners are observed to learn using metacognitive strategies through repeating various output activities. Thus, an extensive reading class with output is assumed to provide a high learning effect to learners.

In this research, I would like to take basic color adjectives in Japanese and clarify differences between foreign words and Japanese words that represent the same color. The following research question were set. When foreign color adjectives and Japanese color adjectives modify nouns, consider what features are seen in each noun. We consider that two color words tend to represent positive images or negative images when modifying an abstract. The method of study analyzes The Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese (BCCWJ) As a result, when color terms modify an abstract, they tend to produce negative images.

For effective language education, analysis of the content, order, and amount of material contained in the teaching materials is very important. Having a detailed and quantitative grasp of these, and going on to work out an educational sequence that is based on these data is not only vital for the beginning teacher, but also useful for the more experienced one. In our research, we have made a database of textbooks, and are creating a matrix of teaching items by analyzing their content quantitatively by order, quantity, amount, and how items of each level relate to each other. We then attempt to specify where a learner of Japanese stands at present, and what he should be taught next. In the present paper, we take up the basic thinking of our research, and an analysis of the kanji.
