중국 대학교의 일본어 교육은 전환기에 있으며 몇 년 동안 지속해서 발전해 왔다. 반면 최근 몇 년 동안 일본어 전공의 학습자 수는 많이 감소 되었다. 학습 동기와 학습 목표에도 큰 변화가 일어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중국 일본어 교육의 시 대적 변화, 대학교 일본어 교육의 특징, 기존 문제점 및 개선에 관해 연구하였다. 또한, 일본어 학습자와 교육 실천자의 관점에 서의 분석을 통해 학습 동기를 강화하고 다양화하였으며 수업 내용과 학습 환경을 풍부하게 하였다. 전환기에 있는 중국 대 학교의 일본어 교육은 현대 일본어 학습자의 기대와 요구를 충 족시켜야 할 뿐만 아니라 지식 전달과 가치 리더십을 전달하는 중요한 수단이다. 본 연구는 중일 문화의 상호 이해와 교류를 개선하고, 대학과 학생 간의 교류와 공동 연구를 적극적으로 수행하며, 새로운 시대의 요구에 맞는 고품질 교육 방법을 구 축하였다. 또한, 다양한 일본어 교육 전공을 구축하고, 일본어 교육의 발전을 위한 과학적인 계획을 수행하여 사회 요구에 맞 는 경쟁력 있는 고급 복합 인재를 양성하는 데 있다.

This article considers the content and utilization of cultural elements that promote effective learning in Japanese language education classes, based on a survey and analysis of cultural elements that Korean learners of Japanese are interested in. Effective learning means that learners ‘discover’ their own culture in the process of inter-action through learning and activities, recognize and understand other cultures, find problems through mutual understanding and critical thinking, and fosters cooperation and creative problem solving.　As a result of analyzing the cultural elements surveyed, <B2. Products(with substance)> in the analysis framework was the most common, followed by <C. Practices>. In this way, students, regardless of whether they majored in Japanese or not, were highly interested in products and practices as external cultural elements. However, it does not mean incorporating all the cultural elements that the learners desire into a class is proper. There are variables such as the environment and purpose of learning the target language, goals, interests, Japanese level, motivation to sustain learning, communication effectiveness, time constraints, and whether or not the learner is a Japanese major. It is necessary to incorporate ‘cultural elements’ with these limitations in mind.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of some practical teaching and learning methods using multimedia literacy in Japanese language education. As components of multimedia literacy, SNS, YouTube clips, the recording function of mobile phones, and reading tasks were given to 29 university students in an introductory level Japanese language class. At the end of the semester, the students were asked to participate in a survey in which they evaluated whether the teaching and learning methods using multimedia literacy were helpful. The findings of the study were as follows: First, problem-solving skills, and reading and speaking skills were enhanced by using a team-based learning. Second, the class using SNS was very useful for enhancing the language skills due to the convenient presentation of learning materials, the submission and the review of assignments, and the immediate feedback. Third, Korean composition sentences and reading tasks made a great contribution to practicing pronunciation and enhancing conversation skills. Fourth, voice files and YouTube clips provided for absent students could make up for the contents they missed in class. On the basis of this study, a variety of teaching and learning methods using multimedia literacy are expected to be designed and discussed.

The purpose of this study is to design a Japanese language class based on the analysis of college students’ assignments and their misuses of ‘can’ expressions in them during a Japanese conversation class. In the class, the assignments required the students to record their thoughts about conversation topics. For the assignments, the instructor tried to transcribe the students’ recordings, find their misuses of ‘can’ expressions and provide some corrective feedback for the misuses. Following the feedback, the students were asked to resubmit their recordings and then, the instructor examined their recordings again focusing on ‘can’ expressions. The findings from the students’ first recordings revealed that the students used some verbs that describe ‘possibility’ at first, and gradually they used more ‘surukotogadekiru(=can)’ expressions. Then, finally, the students tended to use both ‘possibility’ verbs and ‘surukotogadekiru(=can)’ expressions regardless of the students’ proficiency levels. However, by comparing to the students’ second recordings, the use of ‘possibility’ verbs increased while the use of ‘surukotogadekiru(=can)’ expressions decreased in the second recordings. Based on the findings, a class design that can be applicable to the Japanese language conversation classes was suggested.

This study purposed to see the effectiveness of a media literacy activity in a Japanese conversation class. For this class, teaching/learning contents and methods were developed utilizing the concept of media literacy. Specifically, a CF production activity was created and its effectiveness was compared with other conventional activities such as free talking and debating. The results showed that the CF production activity resulted in high scores and most students found the activity fun, cooperative, and creative. However, when compared with other course contents, it didn’t show much improvement in the students’ Japanese language proficiency. The results suggest that there is a need to do more research on the concept of media literacy and related methodologies in Japanese language education in order to decrease the gap between ‘having fun and developing creativity’ and ‘improving Japanese language skills’.
