Framework to Refashion Existing Drill Materials to Support Japanese Language Learners: Enhancement of Meaningful Practice with Motivation, Inputting, and Outputting

Abstract

We are planning to develop a framework to refashion existing Japanese grammar drill materials because most existing materials lack strategies to make learning meaningful. Our new framework, called “injapa!+”, allows learners to engage in meaningful learning, meaning that they can imagine the situation in which the grammar is used before doing a drill, and have an opportunity to produce a phrase using the grammar with self-monitoring. This paper presents an overview of “injapa!+”.
