【School of Bekka, Intensive Japanese Language Program】2020 Fall Semester Activity Report 1: Class Scenes
2020年秋学期は、コロナ感染症予防策を万全に施した上で、遠隔授業と対面式授業を隔週で行うハイブリッド形式をとりました。2021年1月の最後2週の授業は、非常事態宣言が発動されたものの、想定内の事態とし、対面式授業を遠隔授業に円滑に切り替えました。最終授業が遠隔授業となり、教室内で終えることができず残念でしたが、PCスクリーンからは、元気な別科生の様子が確認できました。日本語能力に加えて、ZOOMやTeamsなど、ネット授業に欠かせないIT学習スキルを身に着けた別科生は、2021年度4月からも別科で日本語を学習する学生、専門学校、大学、また大学院に進学する学生、そして職業キャリアをスタートさせる社会人などとして、それぞれの場所で今後の活躍が期待されます。
For the fall semester in 2020, Bekka has adopted a hybrid system of distance and face-to-face classes every other week, with all possible measures taken to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 infection. Although a state of emergency was declared for the last two weeks of classes in January 2021, it was an expected situation and face-to-face classes were smoothly switched to remote ones. It was a pity that the last classes were remote ones and we could not finish them in the classrooms, but we could see the Bekka students in good spirits on the PC screens. In addition to their Japanese language skills, the Bekka students acquired online learning skills such as ZOOM and Teams, which are indispensable for online classes. Some of them will remain in the Bekka program from April 2021 to study Japanese, some will continue their education at vocational schools, universities, or graduate schools, and some will start their professional careers as working adults in Japan. Bekka students are expected to be active in their fields in the future.
１．対面式の授業風景
学生はマスク着用、教員はマスクにフェイスシールド着用、机の間隔を広くとり、窓を開けて授業を行うなど、別科では三密対策を徹底しました。異国でパンデミックを経験する別科生たちは、日本で行われる感染症対策から、多くのことを学んだようです。体調のすぐれない学生は、無理して別科に登校せずに、同時双方向授業としてオンラインで授業に出席できます。モニター内の学生と、教室の学生と、教員とで行う対面式同時双方向授業は、初めての試みで不慣れな点もありましたが、コロナ感染症が拡大する中で、皆が安心して授業をする一つの方法として、全員で力をあわせて実施しました。
1.A face-to-face class scene
Students were required to wear masks, and teachers were required to wear masks and face shields. The desks were placed at wide intervals, and classes were held with windows open. We took thorough measures to avoid the "three Cs (Closed spaces with poor ventilation, Crowded places with many people nearby, and Close-contact setting such as close-range conversations)." Bekka students who experienced a pandemic in a foreign country seemed to have learned a lot from the infectious disease countermeasures implemented in Japan. Students who were not feeling well could attend classes online instead of forcing themselves to come to the classrooms. Students in the monitor, students in the classroom, and faculty members all work together to create a face-to-face class with a simultaneous interactive online class. This was a first attempt and took some time to get used to, but we made a great effort and implemented it as one way to make everyone feel safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
２．IT学習スキルの指導風景
対面授業の時に、PC教室で担任の先生や各科目の先生方が、課題をダウンロードし、完成させ、アップロードする方法を、別科生一人一人に丁寧に指導しました。出身国や個人差が大きいITスキルですが、クラス内で、IT上級者がIT初心者に日本語で教えることで、クラスで友達がたくさんできたようです。秋学期が終わるころには、別科生全員が授業に参加できるだけの一定のIT学習スキルを習得しました。
2.A class scene in teaching on-line learning skills
During the face-to-face classes, homeroom teachers and teachers of various subjects taught on-line learning skills to Bekka students in the PC classroom. Each student was carefully taught how to download, complete, and upload their assignments. Although I.T. skills vary greatly depending on country of origin and individual, the advanced students for on-line learning taught the beginners in Japanese. By teaching each other, the Bekka students were able to make many friends in the class. By the end of the fall semester, all Bekka students were able to acquire a certain level of on-line learning skills in order to attend classes.
３．必修科目「日本語」の授業風景
学生はマスク着用、教員はマスクにフェイスシールド着用、机の間隔を広くとり、窓を開けて授業を行うなど、別科では三密対策を徹底しました。異国でパンデミックを経験する別科生たちは、日本で行われる感染症対策から、多くのことを学んだようです。体調のすぐれない学生は、無理して別科に登校せずに、同時双方向授業としてオンラインで授業に出席できます。モニター内の学生と、教室の学生と、教員とで行う対面式同時双方向授業は、初めての試みで不慣れな点もありましたが、コロナ感染症が拡大する中で、皆が安心して授業をする一つの方法として、全員で力をあわせて実施しました。
3.A class scene of the compulsory subject "Japanese"
Bekka students in the intermediate Japanese language class are enjoying their "Japanese" class through the PC screen. Following the teacher's instructions, they are expressing their opinions in Japanese in front of the whole class, doing group works, and writing in the chat room. Since the learning tools differ depending on the subject, the Bekka students might check each other every day on LINE and chat in Teams, saying "ZOOM or Teams?" Even though the students come from different countries and speak different native languages, they all share the same goal of studying Japanese in the current situation with COVID-19 pandemic.
４．必修科目「日本事情」の授業風景
日本語初級クラスの別科生は、母語や英語や日本語を交えながら、対面式授業とオンライン授業を受講するスキルを習得しました。秋学期最後の「日本事情」クラスでは、「コロナ下での三密の回避」について学びました。発言しない時は音声をミュートにするなど、日本語初級クラスの学生も、すっかりオンライン授業に慣れて、活発に授業に参加しました。
4.A class scene of the required subject "Japanese Affairs"
Bekka students in the elementary Japanese class learned study skills for taking face-to-face and online classes, in use of their native languages, English, and Japanese. In the last "Japanese Affairs" class of the fall semester, the students learned about "Avoiding three Cs in the current situation with COVID-19 pandemic." The students in the elementary Japanese class got used to the online class and actively participated in the class in Japanese, while muting the voice when not speaking.
