JAPANESE GRAMMAR AND THE DIFFICULTIES OF LEARNERS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL

Abstract

Amid the growing demand for Japanese language learning in Vietnam, enhancing the quality of teaching and learning Japanese grammar, particularly at the elementary level, has become an urgent priority. This paper presents the fundamental characteristics of Japanese grammar and investigates the major difficulties faced by students at Hai Phong University and high school students in Hai Phong during the process of grammar learning. Drawing on theoretical frameworks and survey data, the paper establishes a crucial foundation for future research directions. Special emphasis is placed on the application of innovative methods, such as learning grammar through story analysis, to improve learners' ability to comprehend and apply grammar in real-life contexts.
