Abstract

Recently, many Japanese language training institutes have been established to meet the rapid increase in Japanese language learners. The majority of instructors at these institutes are recent graduates with a Japanese language degree. However, many Japanese classes are run by those who studied or worked in Japan for a short period of time without any pedagogical qualifications. In order to provide a high quality human resource, the Department of Japanese Studies developed a Japanese Language Pedagogy curriculum in the academic year 2021-2022. General Education Studies is a unit taught at the early stage of this curriculum; therefore, research on how to both impart fundamental knowledge about teaching Japanese and spark learners’ interests in teaching should be conducted. Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach that has been effectively adopted in many developed countries worldwide. This study uses the methods of analysis and synthesis to investigate the effectiveness of the application of flipped learning method in teaching the General Education Studies unit for 3rd year students of Japanese Language Pedagogy at the Department of Japanese Studies, Hanoi University. The findings show that the participants were more active, more creative, more critical as well as more eager to self-study during the learning process.
