Course Summary

This "kenkyukai" aims to develop an environment for learning foreign languages - especially Chinese - against the backdrop of the increase in remote classes due to the expansion of Covid-19 infection, and the demand for digitalization of teaching materials is increasing in foreign language education as well. What is required of digital teaching materials in the future is the creation of an individually optimized learning environment in which each learner can proceed with learning according to his/her own level of proficiency and understanding, rather than one that is uniformly applied to all learners.
In addition, second language education in Japan to date has focused on grammar translation and reading, with emphasis on vocabulary and grammar acquisition, and even if students earn credits, they often fail to reach a level where they can use the foreign language. In recent years, teaching methods aimed at enhancing learners' communicative competence have been tested, particularly in English and Japanese language education. We will consider how these findings can be applied to second language education, together with the direct teaching method, which is a characteristic of SFC's foreign language education.
Based on this awareness of these issues, this study group will conduct individual or group research with the following four points in mind

(1) Investigation and research on learning strategies
(2) Critical examination of existing teaching methods and materials
(3) Development of teaching materials
(4) Evaluation of teaching materials
