Implementing CLIL-incorporated Activities in Beginner and Lower-Intermediate Japanese Classes:

Focusing on the Significance of Continuity and Joint Presentations

Abstract

The authors implemented a poster presentation activity incorporating CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). The objectives were to foster the ability to learn in Japanese in beginner and lower-intermediate classes, to promote academic thinking, and to provide students with practical experience using Japanese. Through this presentation activity, students were able to recognize improvements in their speaking and listening skills in Japanese and deepen their intercultural understanding. This report discusses the significance of continuing such activities from beginner to lower-intermediate classes and conducting joint presentations.
