Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness level of mnemonic method application in learning Japanese Kanji characters by online. The level of effectiveness is measured from student’s accuracy in writing and reading Kanji characters, furthermore the ability to translate the words written in Kanji into their first language. This study uses true experimental design, with mnemonic method was being adapted in the experimental group while writing drill method was applied in the control group. The results of data analysis are showing the t value 0.12 which lower than t table index (2.306), while the N-Gain score of experiment group reaches 69.34%, which can be categorized as quite effective. It leads to the conclusion that mnemonic shows an insignificant level of differences in between two groupes post-test, nevertheless proven to be effective when implemented in Kanji learning. The questionnaires collected from the experiment group are giving the insight of mnemonic advantages in assisting students with Kanji memorization and writings, while the method itself appears to be ineffective in helping students with Kanji reading.
