Penguasaan kosakata menjadi kunci untuk dapat lulus dalam Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) yang penting bagi seorang lulusan bahasa Jepang dalam memperoleh pekerjaan. Masa pandemi Covid-19 yang mengharuskan pembelajaran daring menuntut inovasi dalam strategi belajar siswa. Penelitian ini memaparkan hasil Focus Group Interview (FGI) mengenai pembelajaran kosakata bahasa Jepang di masa Pandemi dengan peserta 9 orang siswa D3 Bahasa Jepang Sekolah Vokasi UGM Angkatan 2018. Peserta yang merupakan generasi Z, walaupun akrab dengan teknologi, ternyata masih mencatat secara manual kosakata yang ingin dipelajari sesuai dengan kebutuhan mereka. Selanjutnya sebagai solusi bagi permasalahan pembelajaran kosakata, ditawarkan aplikasi smartphone berbasis android bernama “Memora” yang digunakan untuk menambah perbendaharaan kosakata secara mandiri. Peserta FGI berpendapat bahwa “Memora” dapat menjadi salah satu strategi belajar kosakata di masa pandemi. Dengan “Memora”, siswa dapat memasukkan kosakata dan gambar yang dapat membantu pemahaman terhadap kata tersebut kapan saja dan di mana saja. Masih terdapat kekurangan seperti bugs pada permainan, dan belum adanya fitur audio sehingga aplikasi ini masih terus dikembangkan.

Language Proficiency Test

This paper introduces current status of "role language" and the "speaker's character" and their applications in Japanese teaching materials. Besides it studies the knowledge of Russian learners of Japanese and carefully examines their knowledge of four typical kinds of "role language" in Japanese anime and manga by using a questionnaire and follow-up interviews. From the results of the textbook research, the following two things are revealed; (a) first person pronouns except for watashi are rarely used, (b) there is not enough explanations about different "speaker's characters" in detail. Furthermore, findings of the questionnaire show that some of the learners who have the same impression of the characters as Japanese native speakers, wrongly connect a certain "role language" to illustrations of a character, and results of as much as three kinds of "role language" have a low positive correlation with the learners' results of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Results also reveal that all four kinds of "role language" have no correlation with other factors, such as student's duration of learning Japanese, or frequency of the use of Japanese outside the classroom.

Therefore, this research aims to see the learning strategy of Japanese language used by students who achieved JLPT level N1 in period II of 2016. In fact, they never visit Japan to stay, study, or even travel. The learning strategies of students studied through foreign language learning strategy as revealed by Oxford (1990) are memory, cognitive, and compensation in the category of direct strategy as well as metacognitive, affective, and social strategies in the category of indirect strategy. The used research methodology is qualitative research methodology of case study through questionnaire, interview, and observation. The research shows the result that learning strategy of Japanese language used by students to achieve JLPT level N1 are memory, cognitive, metacognitive, and compensation strategies by using several medias from anime (Japanese cartoon), Japanese movie, video game, Japanese songs, and even Japanese books like manga (Japanese comic) and novel. These students seldom use affective and social strategies. It is known from their lecturer that these students are less proficient in socialization and oral production.

A visual novel is a reading media in the form of conversations between characters shown in a static anime style that attracts readers to continue reading it. Equipped with audio in Japanese and translation in English, it is estimated that visual novels can be used as an exciting learning media for students. This study aims to determine the possibility of visual novels, which are usually used as a game for entertainment purposes, as a medium for learning Japanese to pass the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test). The method used in this stusdy is a quantitative method to find the matching vocabularies, with a listening and note-taking method for data collection. The data analyzed here is a conversation transcript of some chapters of A3! visual novel and JLPT 2018 questions ranging from N5 to N3 level. The A3! visual novel data are grouped according to the JLPT's four linguistic aspects: Moji goi, bunpou, dokkai, and choukai, at each level (N5 to N3). The analysis results show that the visual novel A3! can be used as a strengthening medium for students to pass the JLPT from N5 to N3.
