Estudos de língua japonesa acadêmica: retratos a partir do Akademikku Japanîzu Jânaru (2009-2013)

Resumen

The aim of this study was to describe the current state of research on academic Japanese. In order to do this, 28 texts published between 2009 and 2013 in the Japanese journal Akademikku Japanîzu Jânaru were analyzed. Using as input studies of management (BERTERO; KEINERT, 1994; among others), themes, methods, theoretical bases, methodological foundations, and sources within the texts were examined. As a result, five thematic groups concerning the academic Japanese language have been observed: Japanese writing, teaching and learning of Japanese, oral comprehension and expression in Japanese, citations and other aspects of the Japanese text, and other themes. The subjects, methods, theoretical bases, methodological foundations, and sources found in the five groups are diverse. Such variety suggests that research on academic Japanese is still an emerging field.
