#104 My Independent Research: Integrating Podcasts into Japanese Literature Classes #EduPodcastDay
In this episode, we explore a new frontier in the classroom: the intersection of Japanese literature education and podcasting.
My personal ambition is to see podcasts included in Japanese literature textbooks.
With the ongoing discussions surrounding digital textbooks, audio content can become educational material with just a single link. Just as there was once a unit on "creating a radio program," the day when podcast production is integrated into the curriculum may not be far off. With this future in mind, Kasahara-san actively publishes a podcast every day to explore its educational value.
The diversity of genres expands the possibilities of learning.
From specialized knowledge to small daily discoveries, podcasts are overflowing with "niche" content that differs from video. This space, where large-scale corporate programs stand alongside individual, authentic storytelling, serves as a valuable resource for students to imagine their own futures.
We delve into three reasons why podcasts should be incorporated into the classroom.
In the latter half of the episode, we address the question of why podcasts matter now by detailing three specific reasons. We also introduce a unique experiment conducted with 200 high school students regarding their summer vacation homework. Please listen to the full episode to hear how the students reacted.
