Abstract

This study aims to develop Toonly-based animated videos to support the teaching of pre-intermediate Japanese grammar (Bunpō Shōchūkyū) in Indonesia and to evaluate their feasibility. The research employed the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC), consisting of six stages. The six stages are concept, design, material collection, assembly, testing, and distribution. A total of twelve animated instructional videos were developed based on grammar points from Chapters 38 to 49 of Minna no Nihongo II. The feasibility testing involved an alpha test dan beta test. Alpha test conducted by a media expert and a content expert. Beta test conducted by the course lecturer and six second-semester students from the Japanese Language Education Study Program at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha. Data were collected through mixed-format questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The media expert gave a score of 57.75 (Excellent), while the content expert gave 50.25 (Good). The beta test conducted by the lecturer yielded a score of 109 (Excellent), and the small-group test yielded 106.6 (Good). These results indicate that the developed animated videos are feasible and suitable as supplementary learning materials for teaching Bunpō Shōchūkyū using Minna no Nihongo II at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of animation-based media to make Japanese grammar learning more engaging, accessible, and meaningful for students.

Notes for Usage of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

The following guidance refers only to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.
The technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Authors must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing must be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when the paper is first submitted.
We do not permit the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts.
The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of artwork such as for graphical abstracts is not permitted. The use of generative AI in the production of cover art may in some cases be allowed, if the author obtains prior permission from the journal editor and publisher, can demonstrate that all necessary rights have been cleared for the use of the relevant material, and ensures that there is correct content attribution.
