帰国した留学生の日本語学習動機

―ブラジル人留学生を事例として―

抄録

Language learning awareness changes over time and due to other factors. In the cases of learners whose major is not Japanese, changes in the environment such as decreased exposure to Japanese have an impact. We, therefore, conducted interviews with Brazilian Japanese learners who returned home in order to investigate the changes in awareness and motivation regarding Japanese learning. Results revealed that they had established learning methods suitable for their current learning environment and for themselves, and continued learning with clear goals. We intend to clarify how they maintained their learning motivation and examine what support teachers can provide.
