This paper introduces "Kanji Comprehension Task" which is under developing. This task is especially characterized in the two aspects; 1) intended for beginners from non-kanji backgrounds, and 2) focusing on recognition of shape and meaning of kanji, and knowledge of kanji itself. This task consists of (semi-)authentic materials (e.g., signs in the campus, a ticket vending machine in the station, and pages in the web-site) and some questions about various situations they would encounter in real life. Through this task, they are expected to learn how to extract practical information and to deal with various situations in daily life.
