The students who cooperated with this survey learned Japanese according to our sentence pattern syllabus. We arranged the classroom activity around, what we called, "Today's Word" and "Student on Duty" for the purpose of creating a classroom environment which encouraged students to learn through collaboration and allowed the faculty to monitor each student's progress. Through the survey, it was revealed that the students used various strategies to convey a meaning when speaking. The way students, who were listening, reacted varied. There was a disagreement between the aim of this classroom activity and a conventional learning / teaching way.
