ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to find an efficient instructional design and an operation plan that can enhance the learning satisfaction of domestic Japanese language learners. The study examines the motivation for Japanese language learners who have low motivation in Intensive Japanese Lectures at winter session in 2018. Learner A is the target of the survey. The data includes surveys on learner backgrounds conducted at the beginning of the session, interviews after the session ends, and answer sheets of the midterm exam and final exam. The results of this study are as follows. First, we examined the learner A 's learning process and its achievement, the satisfaction level of the session class, the satisfaction level of the class activities in "Japanese 2" and the change in motivation of learning Japanese. As a result, learner A's learning motivation was kept low regardless of the teacher's attempts, efforts, and class contents. This case can be seen as a failure of a teacher in the field of Japanese language education. In reality, however, it indeed reflects the current situation that the increasing number of learners choose Japanese, just like the case of the student A, by needs, i.e. because it is a compulsory and so they have to, rather than by their interests in Japanese. For the future of Japanese education, it is a urgent agenda to make various countermeasures such as learning by level and learning by purpose, etc.
