An Attempt to Develop Vocabulary Teaching Materials Aimed at Cultivating Practical Skills to Make Sentences for Thai Learners of the Japanese Language and the Guidelines for their Creation

Abstract

In Japanese language education in Thailand, there seems to be some negative effects caused by the lack of vocabulary instruction, which is left up to the learners. For example, excessive reliance on the Internet and a lack of instruction comparing Japanese with Thai can lead to unnatural sentences and incorrect use of words.If there were vocabulary teaching materials aimed at cultivating the skills necessary for actual speaking and writing, and vocabulary instruction based on these materials, it would likely help students produce more appropriate sentences. In this paper I will present the policies for creating such vocabulary teaching materials, by dividing them into 1) head words
2) parts of speech 3) word meanings 4)usage patterns 5)synonyms
6) examples and collocations and 7) exercises.
