ABSTRACT

This study is about learning Japanese language. It includes the effectiveness of memorization and shadowing with the result of survey on learning method. A test for language improvement shows that memorization helps to improve Japanese language proficiency, but shadowing does not affect. It's obvious that memorization is a very effective way to improve Japanese language proficiency. On the other hand, survey respondents positively assess both memorization and shadowing. Memorization shows real improvement of Japanese language proficiency, the language learners who answer the survey also say that it helps speak, read and listen to Japanese. In terms of effectiveness, shadowing does not shows outstanding results for improving Japanese language proficiency. However, the language learners say that shadowing is helpful for learning as it makes them practice the language easily and interestingly. They think shadowing helps speak, read and listen to Japanese. Shadowing does not shows meaningful result now. If it is practiced for plenty of time, however, it also can be a good learning method which helps language learners improve their Japanese language proficiency in the long run. 'How long does shadowing be conducted to improve Japanese language proficiency?' will be my next subject of study.
