MINNA NO NIHONGO SHOKYÛ I (2° EDIÇÃO) E IRODORI (INTRODUTÓRIO A1)

UMA ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA DAS DEZ PRIMEIRAS LIÇÕES

Abstract

This study is a summary of the findings of a bachelor’s thesis and proposed a comparative analysis of two Japanese language textbooks taking into consideration the importance of using the textbook in the teaching-learning process. It was analyzed and compared the textbook and audio files of the first ten lessons of Minna no Nihongo Shokyû I (2nd Edition) and Irodori (Introductory A1), in which we analyzed the information and construction of the lessons in the textbooks, the teaching methods, linguistic skills and language of the two books, with a theoretical basis in the studies of Alkmin (2001), Coracini (1999), Feldmann (2019), Ferro and Bergmann (2013), Leffa (2016) and Oliveira (2015). It was found that, although the textbooks are of basic level, the objectives are the opposite and therefore, we found that the teaching methods are different, the activities are developed focusing on a certain linguistic skill in each book and the language does not expose the students enough to the linguistic variations. In addition, it was carried out a critical reflection on the importance of the use these textbooks in classroom.
