This paper will analyze qualitative data of Japanese language learners. Data was obtained from a semi-constructed interview of 50 subjects, scripted and then analyzed. A coding method in stages was adopted in order to extract particular concepts from the whole data. The coding process is as follows. Certain parts of speech involving meaningful content were selected and expressions that represent some meaning shared with several subjects were categorized as keywords. From this data sub-set some featured keywords were obtained. These could be considered the components of speech data which show common concepts among subjects.
