Case Study of Using Edutech in Hotel Japanese Classes : Through Quizlet Design Using Japanese Dramas and Printed Material Learning

This study analyzed and examined the effects of sequentially incorporating Quizlet activities and printed material learning using Japanese dramas to enhance students' interest in hotel Japanese classes. The findings can be summarized as follows: First, according to the survey results on Quizlet learning using Japanese dramas, the scores were as follows: learning effectiveness 4.36, interest 4.27, participation 4.32, sense of achievement 4.23, concentration 4.32, satisfaction 4.36, with an overall average score of 4.31. Students who experienced Quizlet learning using Japanese dramas showed high scores in both “Learning” and “Satisfaction.” Second, the survey results on printed material learning after participating in Quizlet showed the following scores: learning effectiveness 4.73, interest 4.32, participation 4.36, sense of achievement 4.41, concentration 4.36, satisfaction 4.41, with an overall average score of 4.43. Students who experienced printed material learning showed high scores in learning effectiveness, sense of achievement, and satisfaction. Third, in the feedback on Quizlet learning using Japanese dramas, the keywords “interest” and “fun” were prominent, with additional feedback highlighting “improved memorization, repetitive learning, listening skills enhancement, and convenience of mobile access without spatial constraints.” In feedback on printed material learning following Quizlet activities, the keywords “memorization, learning effectiveness, and concentration” were emphasized, with additional feedback noting the benefits of “repetitive learning and linkage between lessons.” These findings indicate that Quizlet learning using Japanese dramas successfully increased students' interest, and traditional learning methods through printed materials effectively reinforced memorization. The combination of edutech and traditional learning methods, rather than choosing one over the other, maximized the learning effect when both were used together and in parallel.
