Abstract
During the Corona Epidemic that began in 2020, Japanese language schools have undergone a major change in their educational format. However, there have been limited opportunities for public discussion of any findings pertaining to Japanese language school education. This paper will explore the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on Japanese language education in Japanese language schools, with input from international students and full-time teachers. As a result of the interviews, it was found that online classes can affect students’ motivation to learn, providing a viewpoint to consider the diverse class development in Japanese language schools in the future.
