ABSTRACT

This research aims to explore teaching strategies in Japanese education as liberal arts. The research has analysed the performance of Chinese students of university in Korea, who joined "Japanese Basic 1" this semester as international students. Main findings are as follows. Chinese students who have good motivation and high goal have gained high scores. Chinese students who has autonomy appealed their aggressive attitude in every classroom activities. They did not hesitate to talk with other classmates.It is clear that satisfaction and achievement in Japanese class has no relation with nationality of students. 'Korean language' appeared to be a difficult problem to Chinese students when they study Japanese. However, there are in fact individual differences and it will be necessary to support Korean language of Chinese students before studying the Japanese. Some issues of the 'relationship building-up’ were also observed. It seems that Korean students reluctantly accepted the multiculturalism as part of Japanese language class. Chinese students are standing in center of multicultural studies in Korea. However, ‘the learning problem of Korean students who have to study with Chinese students’ is becoming greater than 'the problem with Chinese students in Korea'. Classroom activities in Japanese language education should be designed and managed on consideration of these points from now on.
