Abstract

This research paper aimed to explore and investigate whether the use of animated karaoke in the Japanese language classes has an influence on vocabulary acquisition among Malaysian Japanese language learners. The study was conducted on 100 students learning the Japanese language at the beginner level as an elective subject at the Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The analytical descriptive result showed that the participants were able to memorize and understand Japanese vocabulary quickly and easily after watching animation consisting of visual graphics combined with text which stimulate their brain. Data from the interviews also showed that the target vocabulary items were pronounced accurately and correctly when learners sang along while watching the animated karaoke. The triangulation of data showed that animated karaoke is a good tool to engage participants in learning the Japanese language while at the same time, having fun and feeling highly motivated to explore the language. The implication of the study suggests that the use of animated karaoke in other foreign language classes will help boost students’ confidence and motivation level.

动画卡拉ok对马来西亚大学日语学习者词汇习得的影响
本研究旨在探讨在日语课堂中使用动画卡拉ok是否对马来西亚日语学习者的词汇习得有影响。这项研究是在马来西亚博特拉大学(UPM)现代语言与传播学院学习初级日语的100名学生中进行的。通过问卷调查、访谈和观察收集数据。分析描述性结果表明,在观看视觉图形与文字相结合的动画刺激大脑后,参与者能够快速轻松地记忆和理解日语词汇。访谈数据还显示,当学习者一边唱一边看动画卡拉ok时,目标词汇的发音准确无误。数据的三角测量显示,动画卡拉ok是一个很好的工具,可以吸引参与者学习日语,同时也很有趣,并有很强的动力去探索这门语言。这项研究表明,在其他外语课程中使用动画卡拉ok有助于提高学生的信心和动力水平。
