This project work is aimed to encourage Japanese learners to be conscious of their audience in order to convey their message effectively. In this project, each group of 2-3 Japanese learners created a video on ‘The Image of Korea that I Want to Convey’. By uploading the videos on Google drive and allowing students and acquaintances in Japan to watch it, the learners were able to receive comments and share opinions through Skype. Compared to face to face conversations, through the video exercise, the Japanese learners could assess their own Japanese objectively and had to put in more effort since they could not simply read through the manuscripts. There were several reasons why the theme of ‘The Image of Korea that I Want to Convey’ was chosen. It allowed the learners not only to be able to actually produce videos but also to have easy access to the materials and references needed. Moreover, it permitted them to learn the relativization of values and information of their own country. Audiences were limited to specific groups because if the learners knew the audience in advance, they might have been conscious of the audience while they developed the video. In addition, more effective learning resulted since the learners had opportunities to ask questions and receive more specific comments. Some elements of the learners’ satisfaction on the project were the independent nature of choosing specific themes and specific comments received from the audiences. However, there are further elements, such as refining pronunciation and specifying the roles throughout the project, which should be considered in the future project work.
