“…From this study, it was learnt that Adobe Flash CS5 Apps was very useful not only for teachers as a teaching material, but also for students who have been interested in learning Japanese independently. Studies done by Maserah et. al (2014); Dian et.al (2018) provided evidence that online applications have an impact on the teaching and learning of Japanese.…”

A public university has shifted the Japanese language teaching method from using full textbooks to the application of combining textbook and online platforms. This shift is in lieu of the transition in teaching and learning patterns initiated by the rapid development of IT and the effects of pandemic. What motivates the researchers to embark on this study is that with the change of learning face-to-face to online learning, foreign language instructors need to prepare more interesting online materials to ease online teaching and learning. Generally, this study is aimed to introduce yet another online teaching materials for the teaching and learning of Japanese. Specifically, this study is to explore how the students learned Japanese online with the assistance of Minato, employing quantitative methods. A forty-seven-item questionnaire, with questions related to behaviour (13 items), situational (20 items) and cognitive (14 items) factors was administered, and 37 students participated in the survey. Based on the findings, it had been illustrated that out of 47 item questions; eleven (11) items recorded the highest score of 4.6 mean points. Eight (8) of the highest means are items from Situational Factors and three items from Cognitive Factors. The sub-factors for Situational Factors consist of learning about culture and learning about lifestyle. Out of eight (8) items with the highest means; three (3) items from culture and five items from lifestyle. The subfactors for Cognitive Factors are learning vocabulary, learning pronunciation and learning grammar. Out of three (3) items with the highest means consists of two (2) items from learning vocabulary and one item from learning pronunciation. The lowest mean of 3.5 points is from Cognitive Factors and the item is learning grammar. Therefore, this study has proven that teaching and learning using videos and photos are the most effective methods for learning Japanese culture and lifestyle through an online platform, whilst learning grammar still need teachers-students' face-to-face interactions in class.

“…Therefore, in order to better adapt to the development of modern society, college students need to pay more attention to the improvement of self-learning ability in addition to the professional qualities, as a result, autonomous learning has become a key part of the quality education in higher education [1][2][3]. The Japanese major is a minor language major set up by some colleges and universities, it plays an important role in the communication and cooperation between China and Japan, which has made these schools begin to pay attention to the Japanese learning of college students, so that the Japanese major graduates could better adapt to the development requirement of the society after their graduation [4][5][6]. As an effective means of language learning, autonomous learning can also be applied to the minor language learning such as Japanese, and this learning method has gradually received attention from researchers who have successively conducted a series of studies and analysis on it.…”

The autonomous learning of Japanese majors is affected by various factors and the learning effect is generally undesirable. To solve the problem, this paper aims to develop a model for the influencing factors of the autonomous learning of Japanese majors. Firstly, the authors explored the problems and influencing factors of autonomous learning of Japanese majors. On this basis, several suggestions were put forward to solve these problems. Next, gray system theory (GST) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) were adopted to establish the indicator system and the assessment model for the autonomous learning effect of Japanese majors. The proposed model can effectively assess the effect of autonomous learning among Japanese majors, providing a good reference for the learning of minor language among college students.

“…Since its first launch in July 1981 by Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia then, the Look East Policy has made Japanese language one of the international languages of high demand in the Malaysian national education system (Shabudin, Aisyah, Darus, & Mimiko, 2014).…”

The Look East Policy Programme in Malaysia, that was rejuvenated recently by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the seventh Prime Minister of Malaysia, focuses on a few key areas, namely, education, training and investment, consequently, making the learning of Japanese as a third language fundamental for Malaysian undergraduates as a key point to set them apart from others, especially in multicultural or intercultural competency atmospheres. On the global sphere, the emergence of Japan as a rising force in industrialisation has also made the learning of Japanese essential for non-native speakers. Hence, it has become relevant and necessary to pay more attention to the learning of the Japanese language in all corners of the globe. However, for many, it is a daunting task, mainly because of unfamiliarity with the Japanese script and the vast number of characters in the language. This paper outlines an initiative taken by the researchers in developing and testing a multimedia application for Japanese language learning using sensory learning and Tangible User Interface, adopting the five-step ADDIE model. The paper maps out the detailed step-by-step process in developing this application, named ATAMJHS for the learning of the Hiragana syllabary, using Malay language mnemonics as the learning guide, thus, making it a truly novel application for use by any Malay-literate learner in South East Asia and anywhere beyond, ensuring a more rewarding and sustainable partnership with Japan in the future, through quality education (SDG 2030: Goal 4), specifically in upholding and realising the Look East Policy in the Malaysian context.
