O deslizar da tinta e o crepitar dos teclados: um estudo comparativo entre tecnologia de produção e escrita no ensino de língua japonesa

Abstract

The present research had as main aim to verify the differences between the handwriting and the digital writing for the teaching of Japanese language as a foreign language for Brazilian learners at the beginner level. For Japanese writing, different from the others, is considered to be the most complex in use, since it is composed by three systems, Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji, and consequently, digital writing is also different (GNANADESIKAN, 2009). The research is characterized as qualiquantitative of participant character, and it was developed in two classes, whose classes were based on the same material, however, that each class used only one form of writing to study: digital or manuscript. To compose these two classes, was offered by the researcher herself, in the second semester of 2016, a 30 hour extension course of introductory level of Japanese. Participants were young people aged from 19 to 26, mostly undergraduate students. The data generated for analysis consists of: a registration form; classroom observation; Hiragana table mount test and reading signs; two written tests of classes contents; screenshot of the computer in the written assessments and the answers of a semi-structured interview. The instruments as well as the categories of analyzes were developed by (MANGEN and VELAY, 2010, 2014; HAAS, 1996; CHIKAMATSU, 2003; MUELLER and OPPENHEIMER, 2014). The analysis of the data generated differences in the memorization, speed, resources provided by digital and in the relation of the writing technology with the student.
