Abstract

Dokkai is a course that is given to 6th semester university student of Japanese department at Andalas University. The literal definition of Dokkai is “to read”; but in practice, the subject is designed to improve student’s reading capability in understanding texts which are written in Japanese. Even though the main purpose of the subject to improve the Japanese reading skill, but it consists of wider aspects including kanji mastery, Japanese sentences patterns, as well as general Japanese capability in both oral and written. On the previous semester, the learning process is conducted through TCL (teacher Centered Learning) method. However, it can no longer fulfill the learning target of Dokkai. This essay is proposed SCL (Student Centered Learning) that applies small group discussion approach by making use of Nama Kyozai (learning material) that are available in both electronic and published media. This method has been succeeding in improving student’s reading capability as the students become more active within the classes. As the result, student can also improve their Japanese language skill as well as their examination mark.
