Abstract
In recent years, Japanese for specific purposes (JSP) has been receiving much attention in Japanese language education. This paper introduces two specific JSP classroom practices for international students majoring in information technology; practice 1 is for elementary level students, and practice 2 is for intermediate and advanced level students. In practice 1, we used a Japanese picture book about programming to introduce some concepts and terminologies in Japanese. In practice 2, we gave the students opportunities to create their own website using the knowledge they gained in the information technology classes. These practices gave them opportunities to both input (practice 1) and output (practice 2) Japanese in relation to their specialized knowledge.
