The Effectiveness of the "Irodori" Based Japanese Language Learning Model on the Learning Outcomes of Students Participating in the Kaigo Program: Measured from the Standard Japanese Language Competency Test

Abstract

This study aims to measure the effect of learning with "Irodori" teaching materials on the Japanese language learning outcomes of participants in the caregiver worker program. The research method used is qualitative descriptive method. Data was collected from the results of the Japanese Language NAT-TEST. Data processing showed that 2 out of 11 (18%) passed in Class A and 6 out of 10 (60%) passed in Class B, showing that Class B performed better than Class A. Class B, which used "Irodori" teaching materials, had a higher pass rate. The increase in the pass rate of the proficiency test indicates that the use of the "Irodori"-based learning model has a positive impact on the Japanese language acquisition ability of Kaigo participants.
