Reflection on Technical Japanese Language Teaching
Kikuko Nishina
Sažetak
Technical Japanese language teaching started in the 1980s, when economy of Japan was in the most active condition. At this time people in the world including USA were eager to learn Japanese technology and economic power. However, since 1990s Japanese economic power has gradually declined, accordingly the enthusiasm became negative. Consequently Japanese language teaching had to change gears to different directions.
During the period we have accumulated technology and method for language processing, thus we are able to apply those methods to new genres. Nowadays, medical care and tourism and other genres have become joining in Japanese language education genre. We recognize importance of constructing language support systems for writing Japanese with accumulated knowhow of teaching methods and technology along the changing times. Furthermore, the possibility of developing teaching materials and tools by using corpora in a wide range of fields is described by incorporating the concept of "register" which is effective for clarifying the feature of each field.
