Step 1 : Identifying issues and developing questions - Page 1
Your research topic should reflect an issue of importance to you as a teacher. The study you choose to do can impact student learning, seek to develop new teacher habits, or address an important issue such as parent involvement.

We have been perplexed by their wide and very levels of mastery of vocabulary and sentence structure as a group of 4th year learners. Some students seem to be unhappy about attending the mandatory Japanese classes, held every day. We are curious about how effective the digital tool such as gamification and/or digital media in motivating students learning.

Something we think would really make a difference is making the language class fun and rewarding to the students. Right now, some areas I'm particularly interested in are effectiveness of introducing technology to teaching and learning.
