    Slide 2:Abstract

    Choosing gifts for your host family: To live with a Japanese family while studying abroad for the first time is an enormous task to accomplish. In the society where gift-giving customs are very important, the students who successfully finished their home-stay may want to show their gratitude by giving a gift to their host family. After approximately 7 hours of instruction on the unit of “gift giving”, students will utilize the pertinent vocabulary and newly learned information about the gift-giving culture, in order to find the best gift for their host family. To do so, the students visit and explore Japanese online shopping websites selected by the instructor, while following the directions on the task sheet given. The purpose of this exercise is to raise students’ performance to a level at which they can search and find an item that they wish to purchase using their Japanese. While they extrapolate the purchasing procedure at a Japanese site from their own online shopping experience, they are also asked to take notes on the language and/or culture specific features, and then to present their findings at class discussion.
