The purpose of this research was to find influential factors for enhancing Learning Experience (LX) level. Parrish and Wilson’s LX level (2008) was applied to measure the students’ engagement levels for the Japanese college students. The 156 students’ qualitative data about learning engagement was collected. The data were analyzed by applying document clustering. The main finding of this research was that the difference between enhancing and retarding LX level were influenced by (1) having interests, (2) realizing learning values, (3) obtaining confidence, (4) understanding lecture contents, and (5) lecture styles. In addition, LX level was decreased or retarded, especially when the students lost motivations and they got busy with other classes.
