Remarks by Professor Tony Liddicoat
Several years ago, Duck-Young Lee gave me the privilege of attending some of his classes in Japanese and renewed my engagement with the language. As a former student in these classes, I recognise many of the things that I enjoyed then are in this new book. This shows that the book grows from a long-term engagement in language teaching through a process of experimentation in the classroom. Such long-term practice-oriented work is a key dimension of a scholarly approach to teaching, and this book is in many ways a work of scholarship.
The book is not only a well-tried approach to curriculum, but it also sets some new directions for textbooks for tertiary learners of Japanese. Many of the books currently available are very grammar-focused and seem to have little connection with the interests and aspirations of learners. There is a need for a book which will go beyond the code of language to engage learners with language in use. This book does this in a number of ways, most notably in the sections entitled “expression notes” and “natural conversation notes”, and through the information about Japanese language and cultural practices in the “did you know?” sections.
From the perspective of Australian learners, it is also useful to have a book which does not assume that all learners of Japanese bring a North American background to their learning. This textbook is designed for a much wider English-speaking world.
The scholarship of this book comes out in the link between teaching and research. The content here shows a good, research-based knowledge of language in use and aspects of Japanese spoken discourse. These inclusions present a lively and detailed view of speaking Japanese to the language student, but to a linguist who works in discourse analysis, it is clear that this textbook can only have been developed by a group of linguists with research interest in discourse analysis and pragmatics. This is especially the case in the “natural conversation” sections.
In summary, this book is comprehensive in its coverage of the Japanese languages ? it is really appropriate to call it 日本語がいっぱい. It is also scholarly, a reflective response to on-going practice and research in the field. I congratulate Duck-Young Lee, Naomi Ogi, Masahiro Toma and Yoko Yonezawa on producing this work.
