AB - This study is a part of a longitudinal study that explores the possibilities of Japanese cultural education from the views of learners of Japanese in Korean universities. The study begins with the premise that educators should understand how learners see and understand Japanese culture on their own, and goes on to show the process through which learners conceptualize and reexamine culture through online-discussions. The four online discussion forums on “Japanese culture,” “Japanese people,” “stereotypes” and “identity” were developed over the course of one semester, following the steps that learners took initiatively: (1) reconfirming their views on Japanese culture, (2) transforming topics spontaneously, (3) pointing out problems about defining Japanese culture and people, (4) examining the concept of stereotypes and reexamining their views toward Japanese culture and people, and (5) connecting their identities and culture. From extracts of learners’ descriptions, this paper examines their observations and reflections on discussing culture with other classmates. The paper also shows how the learners exchanged opinions through discussions on Japanese culture and people, and how they became aware of how to see and talk about culture. Based on data analysis, this paper also discusses both problems and possibilities for Japanese cultural education in Korea.
