Abstract
This paper reports on the study session which was conducted in collaboration with Akita City government, with the aim of providing opportunities for communication and building relationships between teachers of the Akita City Japanese Class. In the session, teachers collaboratively created teaching plans by sharing their ideas in groups. Based on the results of the questionnaires and interview findings obtained from the participants, I analyze the achievements and challenges of the session and provide means by which sessions of the like can be improved.
