application/pdf, 紀要論文, Foreign language learner often has difficulties to know the “ practical ” Japanese usage which the native speakers use in their daily life. The students usually learn Japanese from their language teachers by using textbooks, however, textbooks already gave the language certain “ cultural filter. ” Students should be exposed to ample authentic materials and native speaker’s output, and they should obtain cultural awareness by having direct communication with the native speakers (Yamanaka 2004). In this project I will explore how the college students who are studying Japanese in the JFL learning setting can learn practical Japanese and obtain cultural awareness through web-based material and video conference system.

application/pdf, 紀要論文, Statistics shows that the number of foreigners living in Japan has been increasing. Brazilians form the third largest group of foreigners in this country, which has recently become a significant subject of discussion especially regarding long-term foreign residents. Under these circumstances, Japanese language assistance by Japanese people in the community and by the government is much needed for those people. This research reported on one long-term Brazilian's language (Japanese) usage based on the analyses of her utterances. The findings show that her spontaneous utterances mainly consisted of nouns, and her usage of verbs was highly limited. We insist on the importance guaranteeing the rights of long-term residents to have the opportunity to learn Japanese.
