Outline of Final Research Achievements

I developed a way of learning Japanese through activities with Japanese Anime to motivate young learners in foreign countries to study Japanese. Since the effectiveness of the activities for the motivation was confirmed by practical researches, I produced an original animation for disseminating the way of learning Japanese through the activities. I've been developing the activities based on the original animation as a sample, so that Japanese language teachers of the world can use them easily.
