Abstract

There are many studies about Improving the effect of the rakugo for Language Learning or calture understanding. However, the study about the effect of the rakugo in the JFL(Japanese as a Foreign Language) Learner’s native language has not been discussed. In January, 2018, I did a rakugo performance in Chinese as an activity in the Japanese extracurricular class. Then I interviewed the performers who is the students in Chinese area, and I conducted a questionnaire survey for the Chinese students and the Japanese students in audiences. In this paper, I considered the results of the interview and the questionnaire, and I will report the effects by the “rakugo performance in Chinese”. Concretely, the “rakugo performance in Chinese” has two effects. On the one hand, The effect on the performers is a. Being Surprise to a different culture and noticing the difference with their own country, the performers understood Japanese culture and history more. b. The performers knew how to tell rakugo in Chinese, The vehicle of Non‐verbal communication (Voice, expression and movement) was re‐recognized by them. c. They knew the pleasure about participating in rakugo. They got the feeling of achievement by the script making, the practice and the performance. They felt the sense of responsibility which performs a rakugo by a mother tongue. d. This experience was related to Japanese vocabulary, conversation ability, listening and learning of interpretation and translation for them. On the other hand, the effect on the audiences is e. They understood the pleasure of rakugo. f. Their desire to learn is improved. g. The interest to the rakugo and foreign language is increased.
