Students' perceptions about Japanese teacher talk.
Abstract
This study investigated students' perceptions about various aspects of teacher talk in Japanese (as a second) language classes in American colleges and universities. In all, 66 students studying intermediate Japanese were asked to reflect on their views about their teachers' classroom speech, focusing on (a) rate of speech, (b) lexical and syntactic familiarity, (c) visual information, and (d) use of English. The majority of students preferred natural speed, use of appropriate amount of new vocabulary and grammar rules, and minimum but effective/controlled use of English.
