“…In Ukraine, a study by Oksana Hrycyk (2018) explored the role of reflective practice in developing intercultural communicative competence among future language teachers [16]. In the EU, a study by Irena Dvoržáková and Jarmila Pavlíčková (2016) investigated the impact of reflective teaching on the development of intercultural competence in foreign language learners [9]. In terms of overseas studies and Asian part of the continent, it is worth mentioning the USA and a study by Kramsch and Thorne (2002), who explored the potential of using reflective practice in FLT to promote intercultural understanding and competence [21].…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of reflective practice in foreign language teaching and learning (FLT) through the lens of multicultural education. The paper outlines three main objectives: (1) to provide an overview of reflective practice in FLT and its intersection with multicultural education, (2) to examine the methodology of using reflective practice in FLT within a multicultural context, and (3) to discuss key conclusions on the benefits of using reflective practice in FLT and multicultural education. The paper begins by providing an overview of reflective p ractice and its application in FLT, emphasizing the importance of reflective practice in enhancing learners' language proficiency, self-awareness, and metacognitive skills. The paper also highlights the role of reflective practice in promoting intercultural competence and understanding, which is a key component of multicultural education. Next, the article examines the methodology of using reflective practice in FLT within a multicultural context, discussing how teachers can incorporate reflective practice into their instructional practices, and outlining different approaches to reflective practice, such as journal writing, peer feedback, and group discussion. The paper also considers challenges that may arise when using reflective practice in multicultural FLT, such as overcoming language barriers or addressing cultural biases. Finally, the key conclusions explain the benefits of using reflective practice in FLT and multicultural education. It is argued that reflective practice can enhance learners' language proficiency and intercultural competence, as well as promote their motivation to learn. It is as well highlighted to see the potential benefits of using reflective practice for language teachers, such as improving their instructional practices and facilitating their professional development. In conclusion, it is proposed that reflective practice is an effective methodology for enhancing FLT and promoting intercultural competence within a multicultural context. It is recommended that FLT teachers incorporate reflective practice into their instructional practices, and that teacher training programs include training on reflective practice and multicultural education. Future research should focus on exploring the most effective approaches to using reflective practice in FLT and multicultural education, as well as investigating the potential impact of reflective practice on learners' long-term language proficiency and intercultural competence.

“…Furthermore, reflective practice can also promote learner autonomy and agency, as learners are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and development [9]. This can lead to a more engaging and meaningful learning experience for learners, as they are actively involved in their own learning process.…”

“…Chinese culture is similar to Japanese culture but with significant cultural differences. If we cannot actively grasp the characteristics of the Japanese language and literature based on cross-cultural perspectives, it is easy to cause cultural misunderstanding [5]. Interpretation of Japanese language and literature not only lies in understanding the literal meaning but also in grasping the cultural connotations behind the language, which can be based on the reader's grasp of the characteristics of Japanese language and literature language and art, and research and interpretation of cross-cultural thinking, to avoid cultural differences and ambiguities in understanding [6].…”

Metaphorical information is prevalent in literary texts, and understanding the cultural and historical contexts of Japanese literature can significantly enhance the translation of its metaphors. This paper introduces a knowledge graph specifically designed for translating metaphorical content in Japanese literary works. This graph facilitates the categorization, extraction, and storage of symbolic information. To refine the knowledge graph further, the RAEA model is employed, coupled with a distinct attention mechanism assigned to each node of symbolic information. This approach significantly improves the entity alignment in translations, thereby enhancing translational accuracy. In constructing a dataset that includes background symbolic information, the knowledge graph demonstrated a precision of 0.9256 and a recall of 0.9136. Additionally, the graph achieved an average Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR) index of 0.810, markedly surpassing traditional translation models. This paper’s knowledge graph thus offers an effective methodology for the precise translation and interpretation of symbolic information in Japanese literature, aiding in the deeper comprehension and accurate representation of such content.
