Although Japanese language education both in and outside of Africa is still in the developing stage, the authors have offered lessons at Ryukoku University “Special research (Japanese language education)” for international students from Africa. For international students who have not studied Japanese, it has been found that guidance focusing on proficiency has great effect on both the daily life side and the learning side. Also, at the end of each semester, we practiced a presentation telling about one ’s own country in one’s own words in Japanese in a joint class with Japanese students. Through presentations, international students realized their growth and the class became a place in which Japanese students had a good opportunity to learn about Africa. The purpose of this paper is to examine the contents and results of the class in a way that is useful for future Japanese language teaching methods for foreign students from Africa.
