<Survey and Practical Report>Course Selection Trends of Kyoto University Japanese Language Learners: An Analysis of Course Registration Data from 2017 Spring Semester to 2018 Fall Semester

本稿では2017年度に遂行されたカリキュラム改編後の、4学期間の、日本語科目履修者の履修データを分析することを通して、学習レベル、履修者の身分並びに学習技能に着目しながら、大学における日本語学習者のニーズ分析を試みた。その結果、全体における非正規生の履修率の高さが明らかになった。また、学部生と非正規生のニーズに異なる側面が見られること、学部生は特定技能強化コース及びアカデミック・スキルコースを中心に科目履修をしているのに対し、総合学習コースを最も多く履修する非正規生は集中的に学ぶニーズを有している可能性が示唆された。更に、全学共通科目日本語科目と課外の日本語学習支援講座の履修動向の相違について考察した。This analysis attempts to reveal the trends seen in course selection of Kyoto University Japanese language learners after the curriculum reform implemented in April 2017, having as its target, registration data of four semesters beginning from the spring semester of 2017. By focusing on Japanese language learners' level of studies, student status as well as the type of skill they chose to learn, it aims at revealing the needs of university-level Japanese language learners. The results show that the non-degree seeking students account for 68.43% of the total number of registrations for Japanese language courses. This group of learners occupies the highest percentage in elementary level courses as well as courses aimed at acquiring integrated skills. In contrast, most of the regular degree seeking undergraduate students take courses from the most advanced level and they tend to enroll in courses designed to acquire specific skills or academic skills. This suggests that the regular degree seeking undergraduate students have different needs from that of the non-regular students
