This paper is a report about giving feedback instruction to Japanese language learners in the classroom, based on conversational data from personal project work, in order to raise their awareness of communicative problems. Personal project work is a task activity which learners perform, in Japanese, outside the classroom. Investigation of the conversational data revealed 211 instances of communicative problems the learners encountered in completing the tasks, though they tended not to be aware of most of these problems. This report will try to show that helping learners notice their own problems contributes to raising the quality of their overall daily life in Japan.
