| 概要 |
The purpose of this study is to determine how movie-based online lessons can assist learners of Japanese as a Foreign Language (JFL) in developing their comprehension of the Japanese request speech ac...t. Authentic Japanese language input was excerpted from movies of Japanese daily life and separated into videos and transcripts of the same scenes. The materials were used to create online lessons. Forty-three beginner-level JFL students from seven public universities in Malaysia participated in this study. Two experimental groups completed online lessons based on videos and transcripts, respectively, while the control group received no instruction. Post-test results were analysed quantitatively, while the participants’ learning diaries and interviews offered qualitative data that aided in clarifying their discovery process. Two main areas of concern were identified as a result of the findings. First, pragmatics training materials for beginners show potential, but they must be carefully designed to avoid unduly burdening low-proficiency learners. Second, online courses are an efficient method of increasing learners’ pragmatic knowledge of Japanese request expressions. When the same consciousness-raising activities are applied, movie-based input transcripts result in somewhat greater comprehension than videos, but are almost as effective overall. While videos can be difficult for beginners, they are also engaging and contribute to learners’ motivation. To summarise, the pragmatics training tools developed in this study have the potential to assist students in developing an awareness of Japanese requests.続きを見る
