Using the revised Bloom’s taxonomy to reflect on the teaching of the Japanese language through ‘manga’ and anime
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: This article is a reflective analysis of student course outlines in which ‘manga’ and anime were the major contributors of Japanese language input. By using the revised Bloom’s taxonomy to analyse the transition of teaching these courses, we are able to locate this article into the scholarship of learning and teaching. The analysis revealed how the teaching processes employed by the two teachers involved impacted course design and pedagogy. The analysis also revealed the reasons for these processes. The article concludes by providing several suggestions to teachers who plan to use either anime and/or ‘manga’ in their Japanese language classrooms. We recommend that a backward design process be adopted, in which the students themselves create their own method or methods for learning Japanese.
