Abstract
Generation Z frequently engages with visual content and prefers learning and sharing knowledge through short videos. However, traditional Japanese composition education primarily relies on text-based methods like peer reviews, which should be updated to engage Generation Z learners. This study investigates the impact of group activities, including video production, tourism map creation, and presentations centered on traditional Chinese culture, as well as the interest and motivation of students majoring in Japanese at a university in China. The findings indicate that visual and interactive group activities enhance Generation Z learners' motivation and improve their writing skills.
