Method of Information Technology Enhanced Japanese Vocabulary Learning and Evaluation

Abstract

Japanese vocabulary proficiency is directly related to Japanese language proficiency, and the learning and evaluation of Japanese vocabulary is vital in Japanese learning. To evaluate the learners’ Japanese vocabulary proficiency, in this study, we propose an effective method for evaluating Japanese vocabulary and implement it into a system. To prove the evaluation ability of the proposed method and implemented system, we conducted an experiment involving 80 students from the Japanese Group of the department of applied foreign languages of a senior high school to investigate the effectiveness of the method and system. The results of this study confirmed that (1) the reliability and validity of the proposed Japanese vocabulary evaluation method and system are favorable; and (2) the correlation coefficient between the experimental results and the students’ academic performance is higher than 0.80. Theoretically, the multidimensional Japanese vocabulary quotient model proposed herein can be the basis for Japanese vocabulary detection. Practically, the low-cost and rapid Japanese vocabulary evaluation system developed is applicable to educational evaluation, whereas the technical evaluation method and system for Japanese vocabulary can improve the efficiency and effectiveness in evaluating the Japanese vocabulary of learners.

Development of digital modules to optimize Basic Japanese online learning

“…Nowadays, Japanese language learning included in foreign language learning has also been rife using ICT in teaching and learning (Febrianty & Ricardo, 2019;Firmansyah et al, 2018;Ge et al, 2022). ICT involvement in Japanese language learning is generally done through various digital platforms such as Google Classroom and other LMS (Huang et al, 2021). In addition to using the platform in the form of LMS, the creation of teaching and assessment materials also involves ICT such as materials in the form of e-books, PowerPoints, audio-visual media in the form of YouTube videos, audio that can be accessed from popular applications such as podcasts, Spotify, iTunes, and assessments through the Google Form and Digital Quiz platforms (Ayub, 2018;Brata et al, 2019;Ge et al, 2022).…”

LIKARI (Five Words in A Day) Application to Improve Vocabulary Mastery in Japanese Language Learning

“…A strong comprehension of vocabulary becomes an important factor to be able to communicate easily (Lukman et al, 2019) (Nishizawa et al, 2022.. Vocabulary mastery cannot be ignored in foreign language learning because the stronger a person's vocabulary mastery, the better his language skills (Huang et al, 2021). Improving the students' vocabulary mastery skill will have a positive effect on the four linguistic aspects of the Japanese language mastery.…”

Research and Analysis on Japanese Teaching Mode of Online Education under Multimedia Network Environment

“…e training techniques for superior Japanese skills are becoming more conservative, and the teaching impact is decreasing [17]. However, multimedia technology is essential in Japanese education [18]. Comprehensive issues with multimedia auxiliary equipment application and overall progress in Japanese applied teaching levels are now a vital tie among educational institutions [19].…”
