オンラインにおける｢ドラマ作り活動｣の試み - 日本在住と中国在住の中国語を母語とする中上級日本語学習者を対象として -

In China, online learning of Japanese has been popular for two reasons. There is a shortage of native Japanese speakers and non-native speakers of Japanese teachers, and there are limited learning opportunities and opportunities available to learners majoring in non-Japanese. Also, due to the spread of the COVID-19 infection in 2020, it is not special for school classes to be held online in both China and Japan. And not only in the educational field, but also in the Japanese entertainment industry, online was tried for TV programs and drama production. Using online format, I would like to find out if it is possible for learners to use drama-making activity　as a conversation practice of Japanese which to think about stories, write scripts, perform, and record. This activity is aimed at Japanese learners living in Japan and China whose mother tongue is Chinese. I made online drama which referred to online recorded TV programs and drama recording methods, and utilized the experience of face-to-face drama-making. This paper examines the possibility of conducting online drama-making activities based on the procedure of drama-making activities, the review of facilitators, and the analysis of the results of questionnaires by collaborators. Through this practice, from the questionnaire of the collaborators, I considered the possibility of online drama-making as Japanese conversation practice from the learning effect of the activity collaborators, the state of participation, the way of thinking about the activity, the willingness to participate in the future, etc. Although online drama production is possible, space restrictions are inevitable, so there is still a need to find ways to set up effective warm-up games and more diverse drama scenes.
