日本語クラスでのプロジェクトワークにおける教師の役割

―コースの枠組みとその意図を学習者と共有することに着目して―

抄録

I conducted a project work for the advanced to superior level international students in their Japanese language class. In the earlier sessions, the students and I noticed something wasn't quite right in the course, and the class came to a deadlock. A correction was made and the class rebounded as we had spent several sessions rethinking and confirming the course design, the intention behind it, and the aim/working process/goal of the project. In this paper, I review this class as a case for determining the teacher's role in a project as well as the importance of bringing the students into the decision making process for course management.
