人の心を豊かにする地域おこし : 広島県三次市「卑弥呼蔵」の活動事例から

Rural revitalization is often undertaken in Japan. However, the quality of life of the residents of these areas isn’t often taken into account.I am currently studying the case of “Himiko-kura”, a local revitalization group which is revitalizing the area of Miyoshi-city, Hiroshima by preserving an old Japanese-sake brewery.My primary focus is this action group, especially their president. This study considers rural revitalization through the specific lens of “Himiko-kura”. Based on the success of “Himiko-kura” in raising the standard of living in Miyoshi, this study can teach us a lot about future possibilities

Efforts to Continue Japanese Language and Cultural Education in Times of Emergency : A Focus on Initiatives in Short-Term International Student Education during the COVID-19 Crisis

研究論文This paper discusses the practical implementation and significance of Japanese language and cultural education for short-term international students at Osaka University’s Center for Japanese Language and Culture (CJLC), from the enactment of the Special Measures Law for the Response to the Novel Coronavirus on March 13, 2020, until May 2023 when COVID-19 transitioned to a Category 5 infectious disease. In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the CJLC implemented various practices in Japanese language and cultural education, including 1) streamlining placement tests and establishing an online course registration system for smoothly operating classes immediately after students’arrival in Japan; 2) conducting pre-departure orientation for advance studyabroad training; 3) establishing a framework for handling teaching materials with a focus on long-term perspectives through copyright arrangements for materials issued by CJLC; 4) building a framework for conducting research activities, presentations, and experiential training even during the pandemic; 5) acquiring expertise in planning and managing intensive courses and short-term study-abroad programs as emergency relief measures for credit unitization; and 6) enhancing understanding and support for international students within the university through relationship-building with other departments. The realization of these initiatives during the pandemic contributed to the qualitative improvement of education under normal circumstances, such as through efficient and effective pre-departure education, diversified options for research activities and experiential training, and reinforcement of support systems for the physical and mental well-being of international students. It also indicated that CJLC had gained the ability to build a new educational framework tailored to the post-COVID era, as well as to plan and operate special courses to make up for lost educational opportunities during emergencies

CJLC叢書No.7『日本語と日本文化－言葉から文化を学ぶ－』（2023）は、国費学部留学生の予備教育における「日本事情」科目のために開発されたテキストである。本テキストの作成にあたっては、「日本事情」授業を、固有名詞と事物の名称の提示に特化した語彙教育の場として位置付けたこと、さらに、初級から上級すべての日本語レベルの学習者にも使用できるものを目指したことが特筆に値する。巻末に挙げたおよそ1100語の語彙リストがそのまま「日本事情」における具体的な学習項目の提示にもなっており、この点もこれまでにはなかった試みである。「日本事情」というテキストのあり方の一試案を示すとともに、編纂の過程で検討を要した点や課題などを詳らかにすることにより、さまざまな日本語教育の教材を作成するうえでの参考となるような視点を示した
