グループmind mapを用いた初級日本語会話授業の実践 −協働学習と個人化をつなげるmind mapの活用

Abstract

As a learner of Japanese as a second language, you may be doing it for your own needs or because you love Japan. Regardless of how you started, I believe that learning Japanese should be rewarding, and seeing results leads to confidence, more interest, and motivation to take the next step. At the beginner level, a second language makes it difficult to convey what you want to say to the other person, but in recent years, language learning has made it easier to say what you want to say, how you want to say it, and what you want to convey by using translators and apps. Learners often seem to be satisfied at this point and fail to move on to acquisition, so in my beginner Japanese conversation class, I tried to use mind maps to combine schemas and new knowledge into conversations. In addition, through cooperative activities, students are asked to give presentations in teams and experience team projects... This study aims to improve the vocabulary of beginner Japanese learners at a four-year university by utilizing mind maps to improve their vocabulary, listen to others' opinions through collaboration, and develop conversations in their own words. It aims to improve listening, speaking, interaction, and language four functions together. This paper reports on a practice in a beginner Japanese conversation class aimed at expressive activities.
