Abstract
Japanese language teachers in Japan have various duties other than teaching. Unlike teaching or research, there are almost no opportunities in public to share information or discuss teachers' duties such as management and operational tasks. Therefore, teachers have to struggle with these duties by themselves with little chance to learn good practices from other institutions. We conducted a questionnaire survey to see what kind of management and operational duties are required for Japanese language teachers, how much burden they feel and what resources they regard as helpful. The results show the breadth of teachers’ duties and how much each duty burdens teachers.
