Below are examples of evaluated RQs from recent Japanese ab initio IAs. Review the strengths and weaknesses to understand the scoring criteria, and feel free to evaluate your own RQ using the form above.
Clear topic focus on school club activities in Japan.
Clearly names the topic (Japanese ab initio) and hints at a communicative purpose (how it affects).
Specify a single, clear focus to narrow the scope (e.g., change to a specific outcome). Example: before → "How does Japanese ab initio affect things?" after → "How does studying Japanese ab initio affect speaking confidence in everyday conversations?"
Clear topic about Japanese festivals and culture.
Specify a single, narrow focus to fit the IA task. Consider limiting to costumes only or foods only, not both at once. For example: "日本の祭りで見られる代表的な衣装を紹介し、なぜその衣装を着てみたいと思うのかを述べますか?"
Clear topic and purpose are evident in one sentence.
