Abstract
This paper reports on practices of discussion activity aiming to develop consensus-building ability on intermediate integrated Japanese class. At the beginning of the semester, we analyzed the group discussion of the students to know about the initial state of their ability. The results revealed that: 1) They could not express their opinions by considering others' opinions, 2) They could not draw a conclusion by bringing together each participant's opinions. So we carried out the discussion activities by devising methods to make them pay attention to the process of drawing a conclusion.
