字源とチーム活動を取り入れた漢字授業の効果 - 学習者へのアンケート調査をもとにして-

Abstract

Based on a survey of learners, this article examined three points: how the learner’s emotional negative evaluation of kanji changed, how the learner took the approach from kanji source, and what good things did team activities give to learners. It was revealed that 90% of the 15 learners changed their negative thoughts about kanji from “difficult” to “interesting” and gained confidence, such as “I can infer the meaning of kanji” or “I can memorize it easily,” and wanted to study with more motivation. Learners have become interested in Chinese characters and have a sense of affinity through learning the origin of Chinese characters, and it has been revealed that they can remember them for a long time because they can understand why complicated characters became that shape. As for team activities, 90% of the learners gave positive reviews and pointed out that they were able to share their opinions together as good things, helped lower barriers to kanji, practiced speaking and listening in Japanese, and remembered what the team discussed. The point is whether communication between each other can be carried out smoothly in team activities.
