Helping students to connect to Japanese society to use with a new language is considered as important part of foreign language learning process. This is a report of the Japanese Social Issue Project held in Advanced Japanese Course at an American University in Japan. After reading, students thought about what they could do for Japanese social issues, presented their ideas and exchanged opinions with others. Students gave feedback to each other through the project. The topics were varied such as agriculture, and the equality of the sexes. The questionnaire on this project was administered at the end of the semester.
