Japanese for beginners

[japanesexbeginners]

Welcome!

This project has arisen as a consequence of the lack of materials, courses, and programs which help the students at the moment of practicing in different learning areas in this case specifically the reading skill of the Japanese language.

Japanese is a language which is spreading up across the world, by the fact that  Japanese culture is one of the most popular in America, Asia and a great part of Europe

To learn Japanese is not easy nor fast. Mikesell A. (2017) argued that most of the Japanese courses focus on the repetition of words, pronunciation,  and only teach some basic words and sentences, but they do not teach the writing system which is essential for introducing the learner to the fairly extensive material that Japan could bring.

Rationale

Japanese, as other languages, has different challenges at the moment to learn it. Its biggest problem is the fear of not being able to understand the way of writing it. In this project we will offer the teacher a methodologycal way to teach the Japanese using new technologies and methods in order to improve the way of teach.

The techno-pedagogical proposal is the use of apps in order to benefit Japanese students from a beginner level, by functioning as a tool for improving part of their reading skills.

Contextual and theoretical framework

The first Japanese course was in autumn of 2009 and it was run by the Centro de enseñanza de Idiomas (CEI) located in the University of Quintana Roo. There are possibilities to have another one soon, in order to cove the demand that the last course had. In addition, CEI has a section where allows university and external students to use the equipment, books and internet access that they have. The center also has a speaking corner for each level of language.
