マラヤ大学予備教育部日本留学特別科（RPKJ）における理数教科教育の日本語上の問題 －アンケート結果分析からの予備報告－ Japanese Language Problem in Science Subjects Teaching at RPKJ －A Preliminary report through the questionnaire－

Abstract

The authors have been involved in the education of students aiming to study in Japan after passing the EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission) at a preparatory educational institution at Malaya University (Rancangan Persediaan Khas Jepun, RPKJ) as a Japanese language teacher. The authors often heard that students had difficulties in comprehension of Japanese written questions of science and mathematics due to the　abstract Japanese terminology although they do know the formulas and the solutions.  On the other hand, the Japanese teachers in science and mathematics have been also trying hard to teach them by easy and simple Japanese.  Therefore, the authors try to analyze the details of both struggles in Japanese comprehension in science and mathematics through interviews and questionnaire research.  Then, this study rethink the possibility of Japanese language teachers’ positive commitment towards the struggles between science and mathematics teachers and students.
