일본어 교수 학습의 도구로서 챗GPT의 활용 방법 및 가능성에 관한 고찰- 「비즈니스 일본어」 수업을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study explores the potential application of ChatGPT, a leading generative AI model, to “Business Japanese” classes and aims to identify new paradigms in foreign language education. To this end, the study specifically analyzed how ChatGPT’s functions-such as search, summarization, creative text generation, text verification, error detection, and conversation practice using voice interaction- could be utilized in the learning process. As a result, ChatGPT demonstrated its potential as a useful learning tool for activities such as corporate research, self-PR preparation, and conversation practice in simulated business scenarios. In particular, it was confirmed that ChatGPT provides substantial feedback in practicing polite language and appropriate expressions, and that combining it with other web tools can help create collaborative learning environments.　However, limitations were observed in its ability to incorporate the latest information and handle individual contextual nuances. It was also revealed that the quality of the generated output heavily depends on the clarity and specificity of the prompts created by learners. Future research is required to develop systematic lesson designs and quantitatively analyze the learning outcomes to address these limitations.
