Abstract
This paper reports an intermediate listening class of Japanese using the news sites to help learners acquire an autonomous Japanese learning ability out of the class. The news sites were used in the class, because the intermediate learners of Japanese have strong will to understand the authentic news. The news sites, which provide the news scripts and the movie files, stimulate learners' interest and motivate to try to improve their listening comprehension. The news sites are also helpful for learners to access and learn by themselves. Results showed that the news sites are effective for learners to improve learners' autonomy.
