N4学習者に対する課題調査型プレゼンテーション指導

―大学進学を目指す日本語学校1年生への実践から―

抄録

Though most students at Japanese language schools enter university after graduation, there is a gap between Japanese language schools and universities, which requires logical thinking and problem-solving skills. To bridge this gap, this practice attempted to teach first-year Japanese language school students (N4 level, have lived in Japan for less than one year) how to give research-based presentations. They divided into groups and organized their research themes and questions, conducted interviews with Japanese people, and gave presentations on their research. As a result of that, the author realized that with simplified instruction, the research-based projects are effective even for beginner-level students.
