An analysis of Kanji errors made by students of Japanese at International Christian University over a period of a year, as well as answers to a questionnaire on Kanji study, indicate that the learning of Kanji relies greatly on individual work outside of class. A method is presented which uses slides to enable students to study Kanji on their own. On the average, there are six or seven slides to a Kanji, and these are presented in the following sequence: (1) presentation; (2) comparison with similar Kanji; (3) breakdown into components; (4) demonstration of stroke order; (5) use of the Kanji in context; (6) origin of the Kanji; and (7) miscellaneous information. This method is flexible, as it can be used with any text and on any level. Student reaction was favorable to using the slides both for groups and for individual study. (AM)
