Development of Japanese Language and Culture Learning Materials “Connecting the Great East Japan Earthquake to the Future: Let's Listen to the Voices of Those who Support and Encourage Affected Areas”

Abstract

This project created on-demand Japanese learning material for advanced students, drawing from the interviews with the individuals who continuously supported and encouraged areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. This material aims to educate students on the current situations in disaster-affected areas and provide guidance on how to respond to disasters in the future. The material consists of four sections: pre-study, summary listening, detailed listening, and creative tasks. The material has been designed to support self-study using questions and tips. Currently, this material is in the testing phase and is intended to be made widely available online in the future.
