抄録

SLA (Second Language Acquisition) is one of the most highly discussed subjects, but in Japan the majority of research and reporting is concentrated in English-language education, while research and reporting about other languages such as Italian are lacking. Obviously, the teaching of other languages has many common points with English-language education, and we can borrow many useful methods from it. However, each language has its own peculiarities which must be taken into consideration when teaching. In addition, the ‘distance’ between the students’ first language and their second languages seriously affects their study of the latter. In order to identify such peculiarities and the ‘distance’ between Italian and Japanese, I carried out interviews with Italian-language teachers working for language schools in Italy. All of them have experience with Japanese students and are aware of the differences between them and other nationalities in the class. Through these interviews, it became clear that, compared with both Westerners and other Asians such as Chinese and Koreans, Japanese students have much less difficulty with Italian pronunciation, and are more earnest in studying Italian grammar. On the other hand, they are more likely than others to make syntactic errors and to suffer from insufficient vocabulary, which often hinders them both in comprehension and in expression. However, probably the greatest obstacle for Japanese students is a lack of communicativeness, a result of their cultural background and the linguistic peculiarities of their first language. It goes without saying that language teachers must be conscious of such advantages and disadvantages on the part of the students. In Italian-language education, there is a need for us to formulate more effective methods designed specifically for Japanese students.
