The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of "MANABIAI", which is a learning method proposed by Professor Nishikawa, in the Japanese language learning. In this method, a teacher does not teach Japanese to learners, but learners teach Japanese among them. In this study, this method was carried out in substitution for a weekly test for 12 times during four months in the Japanese intensive course at the university. As a result, it was revealed that this method was accepted favorably by most learners. Moreover, this method had the effectiveness in deeper understanding of the Japanese grammar, improving the relationships in the class, and making the learners relax during learning.
