Teaching Passive Voice of Japanese to <\/span>Sri Lankan Learners<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Preethi Dinusha Pinnaduwa<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Department of Linguistics, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka; Vice Principal,Mahamaya Balika <\/span>Vidyalaya, Nugegoda. E-mail: pinnaduwap@yahoo.com<\/span><\/p>\n Abstract<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This article aims at analysing the difficulties in teaching Japanese passive voice <\/span>to Sri Lankan learners in secondary schools and private institutes in two districts of Sri <\/span>Lanka. It also shows the difficulties in teaching the Passive Voice of Japanese and better <\/span>methods to reduce the difficulties. Based on this, a questionnaire was provided, and an <\/span>interview was held among 20 Japanese language teachers as convenience sampling to <\/span>collect data and find out their difficulties in teaching the Passive Voice and find suitable <\/span>methods to reduce their difficulties. Once the data was collected, it was analysed using a <\/span>cross-sectional analysis. The results show that some factors can strongly affect passive <\/span>voice teachings, such as cultural differences, lack of practice, the complexity of Japanese <\/span>passive voice, and L1 interference in L2 acquisition. Then the researcher concludes that to <\/span>gain better results in teaching Japanese Passive voice, teachers need to give the learners a <\/span>good knowledge of Japan’s language and culture. For that, unique methods and strategies<\/span> Keywords<\/strong> Passive Voice of Japanese . Sri Lankan learners . Difficulties .
