A Report on the Practice of Japanese Literacy Education Using e-Learning

(Toward a Collaborative Connection between High School and University)

Abstract

In the beginning of the school year 2015, an e-learning system was introduced by the authors into a class named “Japanese Literacy” in Ehime University Senior High School. This class was designed as an inclusive program of the subject “Career Planning”for second-grade students. It was set up in 2009 in order to reinforce collaborative connections between the upper secondary and tertiary education sectors. The purpose of this paper on educational practice research is to report that the students’ awareness of improvement in their Japanese proficiency and a positive attitude toward further enhancement were verified to a certain degree after the introduction of the e-learning system.
