The so-called digital natives (university students born after the 90s) who have been familiar with the mass media such as video culture since they were born have become the main subject of the Japanese education for decades. Therefore, many researches have indicated that the reading materials of the Japanese literature course have been shifted from printed text lectured by the lecturer to the multi -media materials presented by the learners. This paper is a practical report on how I utilize Akutagawa Ryūnosuke's "The Spider's Thread" and "Hell Screen" in the anime series "Blue Literature Series" as the supplementary material in the courses of "Selected Japanese Narratives" and "Selected Readings in Japanese Literature." In analyzing the students' questionnaire and their evaluation reports of the literature works discussed in the class, I try to examine the possibility as well as the learning effect of utilizing anime as teaching materials for the Japanese literature course. Through this exercise, I intend to look into the concerns and limits of using multi-media such as anime in the course for the purpose of enhancing cross-cultural understanding. Hopefully, this teaching experience could benefit not only the curriculum design of Japanese literature course but also the qualitative research of teaching method. |
