| Details | Pedagogical value can be gained from raising students' awareness of the L2 lexical resource that surrounds them in their L1 environment, in the form of loanwords existing in the linguistic landscape. The huge wealth of English-based loanwords which have been incorporated into the Japanese language has the potential to be a useful lexical resource for Japanese learners of English, and as such this article reports on the practicalities involved in setting up a digital photography linguistic landscape project. Students were tasked with documenting examples of English usage found in the society around them and then carrying out classroom-based activities that focused students' attention on phonological and morphological similarities and differences between the original words and the adapted forms found in Japanese |
