Beliefs and Learning Experience of Non-Native Japanese-Language Teachers : Comparison of Quantitative Investigations in Fiscal Year 2004/2005 and 2014/2015

　View Summary

This study reveals the difference in beliefs and learning experience of non-native Japanese teachers over 10 years by comparing the result of quantitative investigations in fiscal year 2004/2005 and 2014/2015. Through factor analyses of the result of investigations in 2004/2005 (Kubota 2007), two factors; "Accuracy orientation" and "Expressiveness orientation" were found. In this study factor scale scores of these two beliefs factors were calculated. Significant differences in comparisons by region, and weak correlation between "accuracy orientation" and "grammar, translation and memorization type" learning experience were found. In the analysis of investigations in 2014/2015, significant differences of belief factor scores were also found in comparisons by region. As for learning experience, factor scale scores of "grammar, translation and memorization type" were almost the same as the result of investigation in 2004/2005, but factor scale scores for "communicative activity type" were higher than the result of the investigation in 2004/2005. The 2014/2015 study found weak correlation between both beliefs and "composition, presentation and debate type".

The Acquisition of Japanese Vowel Length Contrast by Indonesian Native Speakers: Evidence from Perception and Production

NAJOAN Franky R., YOKOYAMA Noriko, ISOMURA Kazuhiro, USAMI Yo, KUBOTA Yoshiko

Journal of the Phonetic Society of Japan 16 ( 2 ) 28 - 39 2012

　View Summary

This research investigated the acquisition of long and short vowels and pitch accents through perception, sentence reading, and conversational discourse of the Japanese language by 20 Indonesian speakers. They made few errors in listening to short vowels, however, many errors in long ones, and final positioning was very difficult. Indonesians use pitch change as a source of information in long vowel recognition. While reading they made few errors in pronouncing long and short vowels as they read it consciously. In natural discourse, they committed errors in all middle, initial, final positions. In both reading and natural discourse, they pronounced long vowels without any pitch change.

"TV commercials for Japanese classrooms": the production and evaluation of video materials for Japanese-language learners overseas

Shigemi YAMADA, Yoshiko KUBOTA

( 3 ) 81 - 94 2007

　View Summary

This paper attempts to clarify the aim and features of the new video materials named "TV Commercials for Japanese Classrooms, 2003 & 2005 "produced by The Japan Foundation for Japanese-language learners overseas. It also aims to evaluate the materials based on the results of the questionnaires as answered by users in 61 countries; as well as some practical reports. The aim of these authentic materials is to introduce not only the Japanese spoken language and the latest trends in Japanese society, but also the cultural backgrounds of the TV commercials. The results of the analysis are as follows: 1) Regarding the frequency of practical use, it seems there is variety among the users in different countries. 2) There is a variety in the educational institutions and Japanese language levels in which the materials are used. Especially, they are frequently used at the beginning levels. 3) The materials are mainly used for the introduction of Japanese culture and society. 4) The materials are also used for fun. 5) There is a tendency to demand the easiness of understanding. It is also observed that the aspect of entertainment toward Japanese TV commercials is also becoming important. These findings may lead to the conclusion that the new materials are overall properly evaluated, but the difficulty of understanding TV commercials is left as a problem that suggests the need of proper selection of TV commercials and the need of teachers'support system.

　View Summary

本研究は、英語を母語とする2名の日本語初級学習者を対象とした、疑問・応答表現の習得に関する縦断研究である。1年1ケ月の調査期間中、疑問表現は、文末に助詞「か」を添えた形だけではなく「～も?^<注1>」「～の?」等、文を完結せずに助詞の直後で切り、音調を上げる形式の疑問文の使用もみられるようになった。Yes-No疑問文に対する応答では、疑問文中のことばを繰返す形が多く、否定の応答詞「いいえ」の使用が少なかった。説明を要求する疑問(Wh疑問文)に対する応答では、その平均文節数の増加がみられた。
