Abstract
This study proposes the advantages of using visual images in upper intermediate Japanese classes. First, I gave learners the same task in face-to-face and online classes, and they chose the tools (Google Jamboard, Microsoft Word, Handout) to complete the task. I then conducted a t-test on the learners’ total number of letters and visual images. The p-value for the total number of letters was 0.5253, whereas that for the number of visual images was 0.0006. Finally, I discussed the factors that led to the difference in the number of visual images and the significance of using Google Jamboard as a tool in a face-to-face class.
