Abstract

The modern era of globalisation has fostered the importance of foreign language learning, where the need to communicate across cultures and participate in the global job market is increasing. This research uses the literature review method. The results show that globalisation has connected countries around the world, making it imperative for individuals to master more than one language to maintain competitiveness and relevance in the global market. In addition to economic benefits, learning a foreign language also contributes to personal development, such as improved memory, problem-solving ability, and individual creativity. However, learning a foreign language also presents various obstacles, such as time constraints, difficulty understanding new phonetics and grammar, and cultural barriers. The lack of exposure and practice with native speakers can compound the process of achieving fluency. To overcome these challenges, strong support, access to effective learning resources, and utilisation of modern technology and innovative methods are inevitable. Technology provides interactive platforms and educational resources that ease the learning process, making it more flexible and affordable

Abstract

The community service program “Strengthening Kana Literacy (Hiragana and Katakana) as the Foundation of Japanese Language Competence for Prospective Migrant Workers in Gowa Regency” was implemented to improve the basic Japanese language competence of prospective migrant workers before they take the JLPT N4 or JFT-Basic A2 exams. This initiative aims to address the low level of kana literacy, which is a major obstacle to learning Japanese for migrant workers. The program utilized a 30-day intensive training program comprising 120 hours of instruction, employing a drilling-mnemonic-contextual approach, and utilizing character cards and digital applications for 50 participants. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement in kana literacy skills, with the average score rising from 30% on the pre-test to 82% on the post-test (an increase of 52.1%), including a 52.1% improvement in hiragana reading and an 80% improvement in katakana reading, both meeting the criteria for effectiveness. Participants were able to write 92 kana characters without errors, memorize 20 work-related vocabulary words per day, and engage in simple conversations in a workplace context. This program enhances job readiness in Japan through the SSW scheme and supports the national target of placing 100,000 migrant workers in Japan. Program recommendations include the development of N4-level job vocabulary and grammar modules, as well as ongoing collaboration between local governments, vocational training centers (LPK), and industry.
