Methods: Fourteen undergraduate students (Ab Initio, Intermediate and Advanced Japanese level) who studied Japanese language at University of Sussex in the 2020/21 used Sail App to practice speaking Japanese with native Japanese speakers who were registered Sail App users living in Japan. Sussex students were asked to have a total of 6 speaking and listening skills evaluations by 5 Japanese native speakers who were also Helte Co Ltd staff. The 5 Japanese native speakers evaluated 14 students on 4 occasions (the initial baseline evaluation, the second month, and the third month and final evaluation). The students also self-evaluated of their listening and speaking skills on 2 occasions (the initial baseline evaluation and the final evaluation). Results: After three months, only 1 student completed all 6 evaluations and 3 students completed 4 native speakers’ evaluations by Helte Co Ltd staff. The majority of students’ speaking ability remained unchanged. However, the perception discrepancies of speaking and listening skills between Sussex students and Japanese native speakers were found. Conclusion: The majority of Ab Initio and Intermediate level students had a tendency to evaluate their listening and speaking skills higher than those by native Japanese speakers. As their level of language went higher, this discrepancy became smaller.","PeriodicalId":489926,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Educational Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135769875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
