Abstract
The study conducted participant observations, questionnaires, and interviews of flipped teaching on subjects of kana learning and survival conversation. The participants learned typing instead of hand-writing kana, which received favorable comments. Participants were also required to watch a situational video before attending the class. Since grammatical instruction was limited, it was not necessary to introduce a scene or vocabulary in class and participants were able to engage in a number of practice conversations. It is suggested that the practice method using video cues is close to actual information processing, thus it is a valid learning method for survival conversation.
