Survey Project Reflection

We have done research on how Japanese think about Hong Kong and people in Hong Kong.  We have gathered information on a few aspects.
1) about food in Hong Kong
2) about people in Hong Kong
2) about culutral practices of Hong Kong people
3) general impression to Hong Kong

On the whole, we expected positive reponse on questions.  After proccessing 25 pieces of feedback, we found that it turns out to be more or less the same as what we expected.  Apart from our choices provided, many people kindly drop us lines about their own comments.  We appreciate it as it make our survey more comprehensive.

We also receive feedback from classmates.  One major difference is found  on the question of ''When we talk about Hong Kong, you will think of...''.  Classmates tend to give response on ''shopping'', while reponse from Japanese is mostly ''night view''.  Perhaps it was true that Japanese come to Hong Kong mainly for shopping 20 years ago, it is no longer the case now.

As mentioned in the previous blog, I suggest more instructions of doing survey for better outcome of the questionnaire, so that we can gather information in a more systematic way, and hence be able to draw conclusion base on what we observe from the data.
 
I suggest meeting Japanese and try to communicate with them.  We may get more information we want by doing so.  Some other projects may also be assigned, such as research on difference in culture, language, living styles, business, etc. between Japanese and Chinese.  Also, as a means to assist our learning of Japanese language, translation of part of the Japanese songs is also recommended.

  1. Maybe more time is needed if we have a project on cultural difference between Japanese and Chinese. It is a good idea for translating part of the Japanese song as an project, because this can encourage classmates look for the Japanese words on the internet or dictionary.

  2. Your suggestion sounds good!
    Having communication with Japanese not only give us chance to learn more about their culture , but also provide opportunity for us to improve our Japanese language
    However, I think it is not easy to invite some Japanese to go to HKU SPACE

  3. As you mentioned, I think only a few Hong Kong people would think that Jackie Chan is a symbol of Hong Kong.

  4. I love your recommendation! Meeting Japanese will be the most effective way to understand and investigate their culture on various aspects. If this is to be adopted, I think our subject teacher may have to arrange venue other than our campus where it's not so convenient.

  6. The best way to learn a foreign language is to speak with native speaker.Although there are many good local teachers,speaking with native speaker is good for learner to get the natural flow in their speech.
