ブログプロジェクトの目的(もくてき)

目的(もくてき)= objective

Blog provides a place:



1. To share/express your happiness, surprise, excitement, and/or frustration, as well as any questions you might have, while learning the Japanese language (or any other topics).

2. To communicate with your classmates and other people outside of class.
  • Language learning is not limited to what you do for the course but also includes what you do and experience outside the class. We will create links to your classmates' blogs as well as blogs by students in other schools, so you can see what other people think and feel about Japanese language learning (as well as other topics). You are also strongly encouraged to leave comments on these blogs.
  • We know that your Japanese language is limited, but you can convey your intended meaning more effectively by utilizing other resources such as pictures and videos. Remember that people utilize not only language but also other resources such as tone of your voice, music, body language, picture, color, font style and size for communication.

3. To reflect (or evaluate) what you have done so far.
  • Sometimes it is challenging to see our own progress or growth. Blogs help you to look back and see how you have changed through the course of your Japanese language learning.
  • At the end of the semester your blog will be evaluated by the instructors, your classmates, other people, as well as yourself. We will discuss the criteria of evaluation later.
