Abstract
In the Japanese language, there are linguistic variations such as regional dialects, gender language differences, and wakamono-kotoba. This paper is a practical report on teaching Japanese language learners that focuses on wakamono-kotoba, one of these linguistic variations. First, the learners collected wakamono-kotoba outside of the class through conversations with Japanese university students or SNS, and brought the expressions they collected to the class. Next, they verified and learned these wakamono-kotoba through a group interview with Japanese students. The learners then made a presentation, summarized the result, and created the "Wakamono-kotoba Handbook." The process used to create the handbook is also included in this report.
