- Abstract
A lack of Japanese learners’ understanding of the Japanese culture, in particular its habits or manners in everyday life or at work will lead to the learners’ culture shock. Based on the results of the needs analysis conducted to students of Japanese language in a university, it is found that there were communication gaps and errors when communicating with Japanese people both verbally and in writing. In addition, respondents did not understand manners when dealing with Japanese people. This is due to low of understanding of Japanese cultures relating to etiquettes. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to make reference or informative text available for Indonesian students of Japanese language. Therefore, this study aims to compile a textbook with the theme of daily life manner in Japan which can be used as a reference as a strategy in understanding Japanese culture. Employing research and design method, this study is descriptive in nature. It develops a book by arranging a variety of information related to the manners, habits, from various sources of literature. The output of this research is the product textbook Daily of Manner in Japan which can be useful for Japanese language learners and Indonesian workers who work in Japan.
