Because Japanese learners outside Japan almost have no chance to contact any Japanese native speaker, the author included the activity “street interviews with Japanese'' activity in the conversation curriculum, for the purpose “allowing learners to experience Japanese-Taiwanese contact situations outside classrooms and feel the joy of being able to communicate with Japanese on their own''.The survey subjects were 27 students taking the “conversation curriculum. The activity contained 5 phases. The time duration of the activity was one semester. Yet, the details of the activity were all done by the students voluntarily in groups on their own through teamwork. The score was based on “teacher's evaluation'' and “peers' mutual evaluation'', accounting for 15% of the regular grade.Most students had aggressive attitudes toward future learning and gave positive feedbacks for this activity according to the street interview questionnaires retrieved. One of the students' opinions on collaborative learning was that the classmates became closer. Yet, still a few learners felt frustrated. This issue needs to be further discussed in the future. |
