메타버스 기반 일본어 음성수업 실습 사례 연구

Abstract

This research focused on the potential for integrating the metaverse into the curriculum, in keepingwith the educational orientation linked to enhancing the digital-based learning environment in theupdated curriculum for 2022. To this end, we practiced using the metaverse in Japanese phonetic coursesfor students in the Japanese language education department at a university's College of Education, withan emphasis on Japanese language education and the metaverse. As a result, learners quickly adapted tothe metaverse. They were able to create creative problems by applying the platform on their own, ratherthan just following the instructor's instructions, and were able to utilize the platform with more skillfulmanipulation. In addition, there was a high degree of interactivity among the learners, and thecollaboration among the learners confirmed the suitability of the metaverse for collaborative projects. Thelearners' survey results also showed a high level of satisfaction with the metaverse. The learners werenot just interested in the metaverse, but they were able to understand the metaverse in a deeper way bycreating their own problems, and they often felt a sense of accomplishment from creating the problems. The learners also recognized that the metaverse is essential for the future of education and teaching andlearning. It's clear that metaverses are a technology that can play a very important role in education rightnow. Therefore, it is essential to support teachers' training and infrastructure construction. It isnecessary to continue research and development on the educational use of artificial intelligence anddiscuss how new technologies such as metaverse can be integrated into language education, based on abasic understanding of the platform, with learners and teachers alike.
