Remaking an institution and community : the Vancouver Japanese Language School after the warOtsuka, Chihiro 11 1900 (has links)
This present thesis is a study of the re-establishment of the Vancouver Japanese
Language School (first established in 1906), and the Japanese Canadian community in
Vancouver after World War II. Focusing on the reopening of the school in 1952, this
study attempts to discuss how the school's reopening influenced the rebuilding of the
Japanese-Canadian community in post-war Vancouver, where Japanese Canadians had
had a large ethnic community before 1941. B y regarding the Japanese-language school as
a means to comprehend trends in the lives of Japanese Canadians, this study seeks to
understand how and to what extent the Japanese Canadians in Vancouver were able to
reconstruct their ethnic identity: how much they acculturated into anglo-Canadian society
after the devastation of their ethnic community; and how differently each successive
generation has perceived the significance of ethnic cultural retention, such as the Japanese
language.
Until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, the Vancouver Japanese
Language School was the largest such school on the Pacific coast of North America, and
served the Japanese Canadian community as a transmitter of their ethnic culture and
traditions to the next generation. However, after the destruction of the ethnic community
by the World War II evacuation of Japanese Canadians in 1942, the leadership of the
Japanese Canadians shifted from culturally "Japanese-oriented" issei (first generation) to
"more-Canadianized" nisei (second generation). Consequently, demand for fluency in the Japanese language and an understanding of the ethnic culture was replaced with the
demand for English and the anglo-Canadian culture. Despite such a huge change in the
community, the Vancouver Japanese Language School was reopened, though reduced in
size, and continues to operate to the present.
This study draws evidence from several works by a long-time principal and teacher
of the school, Tsutae Sato, and his wife Hanako, a variety of primary sources from the
Sato Collection at the University of British Columbia, and the Japanese ethnic press, as
well as the author's interviews with six people who have historical connections to the
school reopening and management. By using these sources, this study attempts to
examine what the meaning of the school reopening was for the Japanese Canadians after
the devastation of their pre-war communities; how the school's function and roles
changed from the pre-war to the post-war period; how language education and the
Japanese language influenced the formation of Japanese Canadians' particularly that of
the nisei ethnic identity as heirs to a Japanese tradition in Canada.

"You know, I know" : functions, uses, and acquisition of the Japanese noda predicateRenovich, Sachiko Omoto 11 1900 (has links)
In the Japanese language, there are various modal elements, which mark speakers'
subjective attitudes toward propositions. One of the most common modals is the noda
predicate, which possesses the dual function of either asserting the truth of the position or
relaying the speaker's desire for information sharing. Japanese Native Speakers (JNSs) use
noda frequently in conversation; however, Japanese Language Learners (JLLs) often face
difficulty in learning noda because of its wide variety in function and use. To determine the
nature of noda use, this study examines conversational data from role-plays and a case study
of two JLLs. The main aims of this thesis are 1) to review research on noda and to provide a
cohesive and concise explanation of its functions and 2) to examine the use and acquisition
of noda by JLLs.
Following Noda's (1997) categorization, noda can be divided broadly into two types:
scope and mood. Noda of scope exhibits the speaker's assertion that the proposition is true,
while noda of mood marks the speaker's strong desire for information to be shared by
speaker and hearer. This study proposes a framework with which to understand the functions
of noda, and classifies information which is speaker-oriented (+ Speaker/- Hearer knowledge),
hearer-oriented (-Speaker/+ Hearer), and shared (+ Speaker/+ Hearer). JLLs first tend to use
noda with speaker-oriented information, and later acquire functions related to hearer-oriented
and shared information.
In the study of role-plays, JLLs with higher oral proficiency levels as rated by the
ACTFL-OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview) used a higher frequency of noda. Both the JLLs
and JNSs used noda primarily to provide and seek explanations. The intermediate-level JLLs
underused noda in providing supplemental explanations. Other uses of noda in the role-plays
included emphasizing information, seeking validity, and back-channeling. The two JLLs in
the case study did not notice the use of noda during conversations with the JNS, but began to
use noda more frequently during practice conversations upon receiving explicit instructions
on the use of noda. While the post-test did not demonstrate increased use of noda due to the
limited time of this study, there are clear indications for pedagogy. First, because the
functions of noda are varied and numerous, Japanese language textbooks and classrooms
should not be limited in providing only the 'explanation' function of noda. Second, the
frequent use of noda in Japanese conversation suggests that it should be an area of focus in
oral practice. Finally, JLLs need to develop skills in both comprehension and production of
noda to improve their Japanese discourse.
