A Case Study in Career Education through Japanese Classes

Abstract

In January 2011, The Sectional Meeting of Career Education and Vocational Education of Central Council for Education examined what the appropriate career education and vocational education at schools should be in the future and concluded career education to be compulsory at institutions for higher education. However, it does not mean that the career education needs some more activities. The accumulation of educational activities in technical subjects must have provided students with many practical ways to acquire basic and generic skills. In this thesis, a case study in which career education was practiced through Japanese classes is reported.
