Hopefully this will encourage your students to continue studying Japanese.
The project that a JSANZ team started in 2016 “Why I Am Studying Japanese: A National Survey Revealing the Voices of New Zealand Tertiary Students” has just been published in the journal ‘Japanese Studies’ (an Australia-based journal).
