Cognitive Linguistics and Japanese Pedagogy: A Usage-based Approach to Language Learning and Instruction

With an emphasis on Japanese language learning, scholars of linguistics and of Asian languages discuss usage-based and schema-based approaches to language learning and instruction, and prototype approaches to language learning and instruction. Their topics include advancing cognitive linguistic approaches to Japanese language learning and instruction, a usage-based approach to presenting the polysemous particles ni and de in Japanese as a foreign language, and the effect of form-focused instruction on the second-language acquisition of the Japanese imperfective -teiru using prototype and traditional approaches.
