The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) is conducting a study on the motivations for and experiences with learning Japanese and Korean among youth between from the ages of 18 to 34 in Montreal.

To that end, we are seeking participants to share their views through one-on-one interviews (duration: 45 to 60 minutes). Their participation will be kept confidential. The results of this study will inform APF Canada’s ongoing work in deepening and expanding Canadian engagement of Asia.

If you are currently studying Japanese or Korean from the ages of 18 to 34 and would like to participate, please fill out this short recruitment survey. https://forms.office.com/r/2C7NSPL44X Upon completion of the survey, our lead researcher will contact you within 1-2 days.

While there is no honorarium for your participation in the interview, your insights will help us better understand the perspectives of learners of Asian languages, and develop recommendations for how we might strengthen such language-learning opportunities in the future.

Thank you in advance for your interest and participation in this study.

La Fondation Asie-Pacifique du Canada (APF Canada) effectue actuellement une étude sur les motivations et les expériences concernant l’apprentissage du japonais et du coréen des jeunes montréalais âgés entre 18 et 34 ans.

Pour se faire, nous recherchons des participants intéressés à partager leur point de vue à travers une entrevue individuelle d’environ 45 à 60 minutes au total. La confidentialité de la participation sera assurée. Les résultats de cette étude informeront le travail continu d’APF Canada pour approfondir et développer l’engagement du Canada avec l’Asie.

Si vous êtes âgés entre 18 et 34, apprenez le japonais ou le coréen et aimeriez participer à notre étude, veuillez compléter le sondage de recrutement suivant. https://forms.office.com/r/2C7NSPL44X La chercheure principale de l’étude communiquera avec vous dans les 1-2 jours après avoir complété le sondage.

Bien qu’il n’y a pas de compensation associée à votre participation à l’entrevue, votre perspective nous aidera à mieux comprendre l’expérience des étudiants de langues asiatiques et à développer des recommandations pour accroître les possibilités d’apprentissage dans le futur.

Votre collaboration est précieuse pour nous permettre de réaliser cette étude et nous vous remercions d’y participer.

How could we have a lingo buddies event without the language exchange part?

So of course our game night inevitably ended with some Mandarin and Arabic 101 :) And, even our monopoly game involved some lingo fun like counting steps in native languages.

Thanks for hanging out with us!

If you missed this one, we’re planning a picnic in April soon. So stay tuned :)

Introducing our Japanese teacher Jonathan!

« Languages are fascinating, since each language is an essential part of a culture. I speak English, Chinese, Japanese, and am learning French. I also enjoy enjoy teaching, and I am studying to become a teacher in the future. I hope you will enjoy learning a language as much as I enjoy teaching it! »
