This paper will investigate learners' preferences towards classroom visitors in visitor sessions. We conducted a paper-based survey of 373 international students at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University and followed this with a semi-structured interview of 10 survey respondents. Results from the survey indicate differences in their preferences were influenced by a number of factors, but mainly their level of Japanese, nationality, the amount of time that they speak Japanese outside the classroom and their career plans. Four different groupings emerged from the interview results with regard to expectations towards visitors.
