dc.description.abstract | During the past decade the numbers learning Japanese language had been progressively increasing in Colombo and outstations. However, teacher-training programs are hardly undertaken in Sri Lanka though 37 government funded institutions and 24 private institutes conduct Japanese language classes. A multi-paradigmatic approach was adopted in this study. Accordingly, 4 questionnaires were administered in addition to collecting data through participant observation in 3 districts covering 266 learners, 134 students who had n o t chosen Japanese as an o p t i o n a l s u b j e c t , and 2 4 teachers (both Sri Lankan and the Japanese) answered questionnaires. Consequently, 6 major elements were identified for training programs. Finally, the author designed 3 types of course modules pertinent to the present situation of Sri Lankan teachers, incorporating different goals, objectives, syllabi and curricula based on beliefs of learners and teachers of Japanese. | |
