Abstract

Understanding the complexities of the Japanese language learning process among first-year students at FPT University is paramount for optimizing educational strategies. This study aims to explore the factors influencing this process and their implications for language education. Employing a mixed-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods, demographic data, prior language learning experiences, motivation levels, and learning strategies of FPT University's first-year students studying Japanese were analyzed. The findings elucidate a nuanced understanding of the factors shaping students' language acquisition journey, facilitating the design of tailored teaching methods and support systems. The study highlights the benefits of personalized educational interventions in enhancing language proficiency and academic success. However, challenges such as varying motivation levels and learning preferences among students were identified, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. By shedding light on the dynamics of Japanese language learning among first-year students at FPT University, this research contributes to the ongoing efforts to optimize language education and support the diverse needs of students in their linguistic development and academic endeavors.
