Abstract
In universities where students can acquire credits in English, there is an increasing number of international students who don't require Japanese. In order to clarify their motivation to learn Japanese, we interviewed 8 Brazilian students who took a Japanese class which isn't a graduation requirement. As a result, 7 of 8 students learned that Japanese learning experiences in Japan further increased learning motivation and continued learning after returning home. By understanding their consciousness and needs, we'd like to support international students who don't need to take Japanese courses to create a mechanism to help students learn Japanese.
