Learning Problems Jujuhyogen Based ICT (Information and Communication Technology) (Case Study: Unitomo Japanese Literature Additional Class)

Since the Covid pandemic, Unitomo Japanese Literature students have been familiar with ICT (Information and Communication Technology)-based learning, for example the use of zoom, google meet, e-learning, to the use of educational platforms such as edmodo, kahoot, quiziz and others. This study discusses the problems that occur during ICT-based jujuhyougen learning in Unitomo's additional Japanese Literature class. Jujuhyogen material is an expression that states giving or receiving something in Japanese. In the implementation of the addtional class, problems were found in the form of communication barriers experienced by students and teachers. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. The subjects of this study were Unitomo Japanese Literature Study Program students, class of 2022 and class of 2023. Data collection techniques were in the form of tests, interviews and observations. The results of this study indicate that there are three communication barriers experienced by Unitomo Japanese Literature students, namely 1) Psychological barriers of interest (Interest), 2) Psychological barriers of prejudice (Prejudice) 3) Barriers to sources, 4) Barriers to message transmission. From these obstacles, students become sleepy, bored and less interactive, and more passive during the learning process. Therefore, in ICT-based learning, teachers should be more communicative with students, such as asking students to activate their cameras and inviting them to discuss.

Experiential learning in an intercultural communication class in Japan: doing and reflecting on linguistic landscape group projects

ABSTRACT Linguistic landscape (LL) projects, an experiential learning approach, enhance students’ intercultural communication (IC) skills by exposing them to linguistic and cultural diversity in their communities (Li et al., 2022. Developing beginning language learners’ (meta-) cultural understanding via student-led Linguistic Landscape research. Linguistic Landscape. An International Journal, 8(1), 56–84. doi:10.1075/ll.20022.li). While there is extensive research on the use of LL as a pedagogical tool (e.g. Gorter et al., 2021. The linguistic landscape as a resource for language learning and raising language awareness. Journal of Spanish Language Teaching, 8(2), 161–181. doi:10.1080/23247797.2021.2014029), few studies focus on the practical implementation of these projects in varied classroom contexts, including students’ reflections on these assessments. Thus, this study examines the experiences of two student cohorts (2021: n = 27; 2022: n = 13) who completed an LL group project for an IC class in Japan. Students selected LL spaces, documented them through reports and podcasts, and reflected on their IC experiences. A qualitative analysis revealed their success in identifying relevant LLs (e.g. transport hubs). Furthermore, the analysis also revealed two key findings: students gained new perspectives on familiar sites, uncovering hidden linguistic diversity, and developed greater awareness of cultural changes in their communities. These outcomes underscore their reflective engagement and the advancement of IC skills, particularly in cultural awareness. Overall, this study demonstrates how LL projects offer firsthand IC experiences, allowing students to apply their skills through authentic fieldwork and evaluate their effectiveness in IC classrooms.

Medical education plays a critical role in preparing future doctors, responsible for the well-being and health of individual patients. Given its unique significance, understanding how to enhance the intrinsic motivation of clinical medical undergraduates for a 5-year program is a key research focus in China. Based on this purpose, the transformation of higher education in the major of clinical medicine has been conducted worldwide. To evaluate the attitude of clinical medical undergraduates on the transformation of education, this study investigates the impact of different teaching models on the learning attitudes of students at Shantou University Medical School, aiming to provide insights into effective educational strategies. Within the set-up of different teaching models, involving active-learning classes, English-medium instruction classes, and conventional clinical classes, we employed a comprehensive survey targeting undergraduates enrolled in three distinct teaching models. The survey explored multiple dimensions of learning behaviors, including classroom engagement, study time, and overall motivation. Results indicated that students participating in active learning classes exhibited superior classroom engagement and devoted more time to their studies than those in English-medium instruction classes and conventional clinical classes, while the difference between English-medium instruction classes and conventional clinical classes was not significant. These students reported a higher intrinsic motivation towards their learning experience, suitable to apply self-directed learning methods. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of adopting diverse and adaptive teaching strategies to cater to the varied learning attitudes of clinical medical undergraduates, suggesting conducting self-evaluation or pre-evaluation of the students for adapting to different clinical teaching methods. Meanwhile, enhancing teacher guidance and support throughout the learning process is essential. By implementing different educational approaches, medical schools can effectively enhance student motivation and educational outcomes, contributing to the advancement of medical education.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of a homeroom teacher managing a small class and to understand the significance of these experiences, in order to draw implications for policies related to small classes and teachers. Methods To achieve this, a narrative study was conducted on Teacher Hyunseo Lee (pseudonym), who is a homeroom teacher of a class consisting of six students at Wonyeong Elementary School (pseudonym), a small school located on the rural-urban boundary. Results Teacher Hyunseo Lee initially expected that the small class size would allow her to operate the curriculum according to her educational beliefs. However, she faced difficulties due to the panoptic-like surveillance system of the school, which required her to manage numerous administrative tasks and class management on her own. Additionally, she encountered challenges related to the contextual characteristics of small classes in the process of guiding students' behavior and learning. Nevertheless, the small class size, which allowed for flexible use of classroom space, enabled her to partially realize her educational beliefs during everyday lessons, leading to the educational growth of her students. Through this process, she found a sense of fulfillment as a teacher and developed a positive view of her profession. Conclusions Teacher Hyunseo Lee's experience in managing a small class provided her with an opportunity to reflect on her existential meaning as a teacher and confirmed the value of small classes for effective learning and behavior guidance. Based on these experiences, implications for small class and teacher policies were suggested.
