4. Critique Codes

Having critiqued over several Japanese language learning resources for this project, I organized my positive and negative experiences and opinions of the materials in Excel. I coded them according to the major themes I noticed emerging while conducting my analyses of the materials. This coded file also served as a reflection source for me to return to when considering how I could improve the original pedagogical methods applied to sources I critiqued.
