Abstract

This study focuses on how the progress and improvement of learning Japanese language among Japanese language students through portfolio assessment techniques. All the works produced by the students, activities in the learning process are monitored and commented on for improvement. Through the method of classroom action research, also, qualitative and quantitative methods, this study aims to identify the process of development and progress of learning the Japanese language on Japanese language students. The results of this study indicate an increase in the ability of students in learning Japanese language with a decrease in the number of mistakes they make from the first test to the second test. Then, it is also known that students tend to have difficulty choosing the right words, choosing particles as well, the tendency to do language transfer when forming a Japanese sentence. When not knowing a word meaning in Japanese, students tend only to find matching words that are considered in accordance with Indonesian language and use them in Japanese sentences. Nevertheless, the use of portfolios in Japanese language learning has helped students to improve their Japanese language skills. The portfolio has helped students to know the points of their weaknesses in Japanese language learning.
