The authors aimed to support the reflection and the generation of educational communication regarding "learning" and "career paths" using the pre-developed "Pattern Language for Learning Architecture" among second-year students studying architecture at two technical colleges, including both four-year and two-year programs. A one-day workshop was conducted using the pattern language, focusing on "learning" for the four-year program and "career paths" for the two-year program. The pre- and post-workshop questionnaires were administered, and the responses were analyzed to assess changes in the numerical values of the responses. Furthermore, free-text responses from the post-workshop open-ended section were subjected to quantitative content analysis. The findings revealed that the pattern language workshop facilitated the reflection and the generation of communication on "learning" and "career paths." Additionally, student outputs created during the workshop, such as learning sheets and career paths sheets, were evaluated using a rubric. It was evident that students who clarified their thoughts on their learning and career paths through the workshop, as evidenced by their outputs, benefited from the workshop, which utilized the pattern language in the form of cards.
