Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in the Chokai 5 (listening) class. It is designed for those who wish to pass the JLPT N2. This research involved sixth-semester students of the Japanese Literature Study Program in Language and Culture Faculty of Maranatha Christian University. Using classroom action research (CAR), this study gathered the data using observations in pre-cycle, cycle 1, and cycle 2. In addition, this study also collected data through the simulation exam of JLPT N2 and the questionnaires  on the students' perceptions of the PjBL model. The results of the study confirmed a substantial increase of 26.7% in the number of students achieving a minimum score after participating in the JLPT N2 listening simulation, compared to a pre-cycle frequency. The difference was statistically significant ( P <.05). The questionnaire results showed positive perceptions of learning using PjBL. Thus, it can be understood that the PjBL method can make students enthusiastic about independent learning to improve JLPT N2 listening score results.

Abstract

Abstract. This study investigates the representation of fragile masculinity and the social anxieties of single men in the Japanese television series Turn to Me, Mukai-kun. Employing a qualitative method grounded in Stuart Hall’s theory of representation, the research analyzes how the protagonist, Mukai, reflects the ongoing crisis of masculinity in contemporary Japan. The findings reveal that Mukai embodies an alternative masculinity characterized by emotional openness, uncertainty, and a departure from traditional male dominance. Through this portrayal, the series exposes the tension between hegemonic masculine ideals and the realities of modern single men. The study demonstrates that Turn to Me, Mukai-kun both critiques and redefines conventional gender expectations, suggesting that Japanese popular media serves as a site for negotiating new and diverse masculine identities. These insights contribute to broader discussions on shifting gender roles and the cultural reimagining of masculinity in Japan.
