Abstract

The objectives of this research are to 1) study and understand whether second year students having completed the direct instruction courses Basic Japanese I to IV at the Faculty of Arts, Silpakorn University are able to use locative particles, namely ni, de, and o, correctly according to Bloom’s taxonomy cognitive domain; 2) study the differences in the thinking processes of using locative particles at ‘remembering’, ‘understanding’, and ‘applying’ levels using statistical tests; and 3) optimize the teaching methods of Basic Japanese I to IV. The results show 1) the direct instruction teaching method used in Basic Japanese I to IV  is rather effective for students to use locative particles at memorization level; 2) the average in each section differs significantly by a level 0.05 based on the statistical analysis, using F-test and ANOVA, of the student’s answers in each section of the test; and 3) the enhancement of students’ cognitive processes in choosing locative particles and their self-assessment of errors. This could be beneficial for improving the teaching methods in Basic Japanese I to IV.
