This paper describes the incorporation of the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach in an advanced Japanese language course for international students at a Japanese university. To improve students' Japanese language skills while learning about Edo-era history and scientific technology, we chose the regional historical heritage site Tatsumi Canal as a topic for five 90-minute lessons. Lesson observations and student feedback suggest students engaged with and deepened their understanding of the topic while utilizing Japanese language skills. We also noted the significance of collaboration between topic research specialists and language teachers during curriculum and material development for CLIL lessons.
