Abstract

With the continuous development of modern information technology, smart phones have reached a high degree of popularity, which means that all fields, including school teaching, should actively explore a new mode of operation based on modern information technology, especially in the context of smart phones As an important learning content of language majors in Colleges and secondary schools in China, Japanese has a relatively unique teaching value dimension. In the current context of information technology, making full use of the advantages of mobile app to improve the quality of Japanese teaching is an important proposition in the current context of teaching reform. Based on the actual use of mobile app, what kind of learning effect it has, whether it has repetition with the classroom learning content, how much help it can have and so on. This paper aims to investigate the use of Japanese learning software from the perspective of students, understand the changes brought by the popularization of information technology to students’ learning concepts and learning methods, and provide some reference for traditional Japanese teaching.
