Abstract
This research proposes self-study materials for learners of Japanese language aiming at passing the state examination for anma, massage, and shiatsu practitioners. A glossary is created by categorizing exam questions and answers, most of which include definition and practical knowledge of technical terms. Additional explanations on vocabulary and sentence patterns covering the scope of Japanese-Language Proficiency Test allow even Japanese language teachers without special knowledge to create self-study materials on expertise. If learners' understanding of the expertise is
insufficient, Japanese language teachers give them a linguistic support so that they ask expertise teachers questions related to the expertise.
