For learners of advanced Japanese, the development of writing and translation skills grounded in a systematic understanding of the structure and stylistic conventions of formal Japanese texts is essential. In the Japanese Studies program at the National University of Mongolia, the courses Advanced Written Japanese and Translation of Formal Japanese Documents are designed to foster advanced-level written proficiency, with particular emphasis on the linguistic knowledge and competencies required for business and professional communication in Japanese. Following the course curricula, instruction has focused on the types, structures, and stylistic characteristics of formal Japanese documents, as well as approaches to writing and translation. This article analyzes classroom observations accumulated over the past two academic years, identifies recurring learner difficulties and pedagogical challenges, and proposes recommendations for improving instructional practices. The study adopts a qualitative research approach, incorporating document analysis of relevant literature and instructional materials, together with error analysis of student-produced texts.

People’s mindset, values and attitude toward things are changed as long as the society modifies. Thus, every individual’s view and value have been shaped in particular way in accordance with its society where they were born and grown in. In recent years, values of Japanese younger generation have become noticeably dissimilar from their previous generation. Their respect in conventional workplace, regular work and materialistic value has been decreased, conversely, their attitude and attention have transferred more into internal satisfaction, self-improvement, life-pace and flexibility as we have observed. Moreover, they are paying more attention into life balance, individual freedom, respecting individual’s lifestyle and their conventional perception towards work has been changing. Therefore, in this paperwork we aimed to take consideration of following concepts in depth, concept of generation, classification of generations, what Yutori, Satori, Z generations are, and their values and attitude change towards work.

This study examines the structural, semantic, and etymological features of character names in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The naming system includes both assigned proper names and quasi-onyms. Proper names are mainly used for major characters, while quasi-onyms function as descriptive labels for minor roles. A total of 35 names were analyzed, including 19 proper names and 16 quasi-onyms. From a structural perspective, proper names are mostly monomorphemic, and only a few two-part forms combining titles and base names are identified. In contrast, quasi-onyms demonstrate greater morphological variations. They consist of one- to five-component structures, including derivational suffixes, plural markers, articles, and prepositions. Semantically, the names reflect diverse categories, including geography, religion, emotional states, social authority, personal attributes, strength, and symbolic meanings. Quasi-onyms are most frequently associated with occupational roles, accounting for 68.75% of cases, followed by social status, kinship relations, and physical characteristics. Etymological analysis determined a strong predominance of Italian-origin names, alongside Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, and limited English origins. Finally, a keyword-based stylistic approach establishes a close correspondence between name meanings and character speech. This confirms the significant role of naming in characterization.

The home and family serve as fundamental pillars throughout the entire trajectory of human existence, from conception and birth to life and death. Conceptually, “home” is a vital guarantee for human survival, an indispensable element for existence. Throughout human history, the concept of “home” has evolved alongside humanity, maintaining a significance akin to the human body itself. Linguistic evidence demonstrates that its conceptual scope and structure have undergone continuous transformation.

From a cognitive linguistic perspective, “home” is a mental unit within human consciousness; however, the meanings embedded within it have developed diversely among different linguistic communities. These variations are driven by numerous factors, including climate, lifestyle, religion, social progress, scientific and technological advancements, and spatio-temporal contexts.

Accordingly, this study examines the conceptual domain of “home” as shaped by the cognitive experiences and collective knowledge of the Mongolian and Chinese peoples. Drawing upon explanatory dictionaries, linguistic data, and cultural heritage records, the research identifies various cognitive meanings in both languages. By analyzing these linguistic manifestations, the study aims to define the cognitive similarities and differences in the mindsets of the two nations and provide a concise cognitive description of the “home” concept.

The advent of the digital-intelligent era has brought systemic transformation to international Chinese language education. Driven by both educational digitalization policies and rapid technological development, intelligent information technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data are profoundly reshaping teaching content, pedagogical approaches, and management models. Applications including lifestyle service software, generative AI, digital teaching tools, and intelligent learning platforms have shown significant value in creating authentic contexts, generating multimodal resources, enabling personalized learning, enhancing classroom interaction, and optimizing teaching assessment. The deep integration of international Chinese language education with intelligent information technology enhances teaching efficiency, stimulates learner motivation, fosters cultural understanding, and promotes pedagogical innovation. This integration paves the way for education to advance toward precision, personalization, and intelligence.
