Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study involves the first ever attempt to develop learning materials (video resource/ text book) for a “course focusing on linguistic landscapes”, and providing a report of the course. This material was developed for Japanese language education and features regional and social changes in language.
Taking advantage of the practical educational opportunities offered through this video, Japanese learners come to realize not only some characteristics of a Japanese language but also the role of linguistic landscapes as a constituent element in society. The method of publication on the internet and examples of its practical use in education are also reported.
