Abstract

This paper presents an action research study that investigates the role of the teacher while conducting task-based activities in a Japanese language teaching training class, for which I was responsible. During the training in October 2022, learner’s level ranged between beginner and intermediate, learners struggled to complete the assigned tasks, leading to a decline in their motivation to learn Japanese. Several factors, such as unclear instructions, task complexity, and student pairings, were identified as potential contributors to the lack of success in the class. This paper aims to analyze the reasons behind the failure of two training sessions that involved task-based activities. The findings revealed several issues pertaining to the teacher's role, including the occurrence of errors and misuses as well as a lack of negotiation of meaning due to time constraints and the teacher’s impatience. These problems were identified as the primary challenges. This action research paper investigates the problems associated with the teacher's role in task-based activities and endeavors to enhance future classes.
