In this study, the author investigated the following two points: (1) how university Japanese learners in the United States perceived the reflection of their learning (2) how they have reflected on their own learning. As a result, some points were clarified: some students thought the reflection was good or helpful however other students thought meaningless. The author also found out the students who feel positive about reflection relate their previous experiences or future plans to their reflection. This result shows that it is important to connect each student's former experiences and future aspirations to their reflection in order to make reflection more effective.
