Online Model Classes with the Mongolian National University of Education
2024.05.28更新news
Students from the Faculty of Education participated in online model classes with Mongolian National University of Education students on May 18th and May 25th. For our students, this was an opportunity to receive feedback from Mongolian students—who are also learners of Japanese—on whether the Japanese they use in class is appropriate for the learners' levels, whether their explanations are clear, and whether their feedback on pronunciation meets the learners' needs. Teaching Japanese in Japanese, their second language, is a big challenge for the students from Mongolia and a great opportunity to brush up on the language.
The model classes required the students to think about pedagogical methods that matched the learners' levels, making it an excellent opportunity to refine their choice of teaching materials and their skills to explain new grammar points and new vocabulary. This experience is a crucial step before actually teaching Japanese learners in class. Additionally, conducting classes online via Zoom has helped improve ICT skills and spurred the exploration of teaching methods that may not be possible in face-to-face settings.
In the reflection session following the model classes, constructive feedback was exchanged about explaining new vocabulary and grammatical structures, giving positive feedback, correcting mistakes, and using the prepared teaching materials and aids.
This program has not only enriched our students' understanding of intercultural interactions but also fostered the international perspective essential for Japanese language teachers. As we reflect on this successful collaboration, we eagerly anticipate the future opportunities for learning and growth that lie ahead, confident in the mutual benefits that our continued collaboration will bring.
