ABSTRACT

This study is designed to introduce a new method of teaching Japanese using the MOOC Model and to determine the effects of the lectures on language acquisition. In addition, a survey was conducted to evaluate learners' awareness about MOOC as a learning method. The results show that the final test scores of those who took classes with videos improved and that the classes were effective in the learning of vocabulary and grammar. moreover participants’ listening ability and their understanding of Japanese culture also improved. In addition, learners had the opportunity of studying by themselves through videos and could share their knowledge and opinions through group activities and debates. Further, the results of the survey on classes using the MOOC Model reveal that most learners consider classes using videos to be effective and positive. They also reveal that learners need a greater variety of video contents for Japanese language learning. It is necessary to implement various Japanese language classes using the MOOC Model to share cases and to make it widespread throughout the Japanese language education field. It is also necessary to devise learning methods that are more appropriate and effective for learners.
