Abstract
In recent years much attention has been paid to Japanese language education for foreigners in local areas of Japan, and a wide variety of learning materials has been opened to the public. However, there are not enough for learners in the Tohoku area. Currently, we are developing Japanese learning materials for international students in Sendai city at A1/A2 level to help them become familiar with Sendai, and to have a more active life. In this paper, we will show the background of development, characteristics and content of trial materials, and discuss future issues.
