So that verbal sentences with the prefix /di-/ in Indonesian interfere with Japanese passive sentences. Besides that, to provide a theoretical explanation to Japanese language learners regarding the interference of verbal sentences with the prefix /di-/ in Indonesian when teaching Japanese passive sentences.

Omotenashi is generally used in industries directly related to services, such as tourism, hospitality, shop services, etc. This raises the question of whether omotenashi is also applied to non-profit agencies operating in the social sector. One of the non-profit agencies collaborating between Japan and Indonesia is a Japanese non-profit agency based in Jakarta that provides wheelchair services for disabled children. This research examines omotenashi as applied to a Japanese non-profit agency that provides wheelchairs for disabled children in Indonesia. The research method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive research method. The data in this research are the result of observations and interviews. The omotenashi concept used in this research is the omotenashi concept from Kamoun (2014). From the results of this research, it was found that four elements of omotenashi were applied, namely personalization, host/guest relationship, comfort, and hospitableness. Personalization that was found was in the form of providing wheelchairs that suit the needs of children with disabilities, elements of the host/guest relationship that were found in the form of holding meetings every six months between hosts and guests to discuss the condition of wheelchairs for children with disabilities who received assistance, elements of comfort What was found was that the wheelchair provided prioritized the comfort factor by adapting to the condition of the child with a disability, while the aspect of hospitableness that was found was in the form of services that were immediately provided when the aid recipient had problems with the wheelchair being used. This research concludes that omotenashi is not only applied to the franchise industry but also to non-profit agencies in the social sector.

Distance and Intimacy: An Introduction to the Characteristics of Japan’s Idol Image

Chen Ichen — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This paper investigates Japanese Idols, its definition, and the development of Idol culture. It points out the two defining characteristics of 'Japanese Idols.' First, 'immatureness' refers to the part of Japanese Idol culture that provides an imperfect 'immatureness' that allows those who participate in Japanese Idol culture have the possibility to 'create' their own 'Idols' in which they can project their idealistic self. This 'immatureness' originates from the importance of 'KODOMO (Children)' that Japanese society upholds. Second is the mentality of group 'solidarity,' which acts as the key concept for willing participants. This refers to the 'audiences/fans' that use Idol consumption to gain happiness through three kinds of relationships: 'Fan-Fan,' 'Fan-Idol,' and 'Idol-Idol.' Furthermore, the paper includes a case study on the no-live-audience concert at the end of 2020 by the male Japanese Idol group ARASHI. The study included an examination of how 'Fans' and 'Idols' obtain mutual 'emotional support' and 'intimacy' through 'mutual communication.' It further points out that 'Fans' do not just gain enjoyment from their consumptions on the 'cultural product' that is 'Idols.' In reality, it shoulders the double connotations of 'care' and a 'sharing of affection' for the 'Idols.' The paper has discovered that 'fans' would, without fail, initiate and adjust their 'distances' between themselves and their 'Idols' to achieve self-fulfillment and room for imagination.

Khansa Belva Salmawan, Bembi Mulia Ramadhani — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Reading a language fluently is a skill that needs to be trained and used and is essential to support other basic language skills, especially speaking and writing. In the current educational context, mastering a foreign language—specifically, Japanese—has become crucial. Marugoto A1 Starter textbooks are popular options for teaching the Japanese language in numerous educational institutions. This research will use a qualitative descriptive with a questionnaire for primary data collection. This research intends to analyze problems during the Japanese Language reading learning process using Marugoto A1 Starter books, viewed from the Japanese beginner-level student's perspective at Al-Azhar University Indonesia. The result of this study indicates that Romaji letters are still used in Marugoto A1 starter beginner-level books, which deters learners from reading Hiragana and Katakana. Results show that the students responded positively to using the Marugoto A1 Starter book by adding romaji letters, comprehensible connections between sentences, and illustrations supporting reading material comprehension. The audio is also considered helpful in pronunciation and understanding spoken Japanese language. However, from a student's perspective, there are highlighted limitations in the Marugoto A1 Starter book, particularly the absence of Kanji characters in the reading materials. This gap corresponds to a specific course within the curriculum dedicated to teaching Kanji and Japanese vocabulary. Additionally, students desire longer or more varied reading materials, such as diaries, short stories, manga, and recipes. Based on these findings, recommendations for instructors using the Marugoto A1 Starter book are provided. Integration of Kanji teaching with reading lessons and developing Kanji-inclusive texts are suggested. Moreover, diversifying classroom activities, such as shared reading and discussion, can boost student engagement and interest. Gathering student feedback is also encouraged to tailor teaching and discovery learning methods effectively. Implementing these approaches will enrich Japanese language learning, particularly in reading proficiency.

Language Proficiency: Preliminary View on Malaysia Japanese Language Teachers

Zoraida Mustafa, Azalia Zaharuddin — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This paper is an examination of the current situation of the importance of maintaining fluency in teaching foreign languages. It is a preliminary report on previous studies regarding teachers’ proficiency and its relevancy to the Malaysian Japanese language teachers. The focus on foreign language education in Malaysia has increased significantly following its inclusion in the National Higher Education Strategic Plan Beyond 2020 by the Ministry of Education in 2007. The policy was strengthened with the announcement of Malaysia Higher Education Blueprint 2015-2025 with ten new paradigms as a game changer in higher education scenario. This move has resulted in rapid growth, evident through the adoption of foreign language programs in major public universities, elite secondary boarding schools, and selected secondary schools. Despite this, the literature in foreign language education suggests that most educational institutions do not provide many opportunities for foreign language teachers to maintain or improve their language skill (Fraga‐Cañadas, 2010). Although teachers by profession, non-native speaker teachers of foreign language are still at risk of language attrition, especially if its use is only limited to simple structures and basic vocabulary (Wlosowiczs, 2017). This is often the case in Malaysia where most institutions only offer elementary level courses for foreign languages, which includes the Japanese language. Most universities in Malaysia offer elementary level of Japanese language course except for few universities such as Universiti Malaya and Universiti Sains Malaysia (Yeoh & Singh, 2020). According to Richards et al. (2013), teachers need an advanced level of proficiency to provide students with meaningful and knowledgeable explanations on language and culture. Furthermore, their proficiency can have a direct impact on students' learning. This is because it influences the amount of language used in the classroom and shapes the teaching approach used, thus playing a pivotal role in the overall student learning experience (Valmori & De Costa, 2016). Research on the proficiency of non-native Japanese language teachers in Malaysia is scarce, and not much is known about how they maintain or develop their proficiency.
