This research paper contains studies on “IJLP(Intensive Japanese Language Program),” which was a part of the university’s Japanese language course in Korea, in 2013. The “IJLP” aims to make the use of Japanese language a way of life in the dormitory. In their dormitory life, the students who participate in the program take intensive lessons proceeded only in Japanese after attending their major class in the daytime. The main purposes of this program are the following: · Can use Japanese with confidence. · Can communicate in Japanese as well as improving cross-cultural understanding. · Can recognize one’s own Japanese language proficiency via self-assessment. To some degree, positive outcomes along with these goals were observed from the students who participated in the program. However, finding a method to achieve self-directed learning through self-assessment is required in the future trials.
