This paper discusses the role of Japanese language (JL) teachers in collaboration with professional course teachers (PCT). Most educational institutions insufficiently provide JL subjects. Non-JL subjects desirably cover JL skill building. With JL subjects positioned as "opportunity for PCT to glimpse adjusting Japanese for non-native JL speakers", learners' difficulties in professional subjects were identified based on JL education and shared with PCT, triggering PCT to seek professional education covering JL skill building. Although educational effects remain unverified, a new role of JL teachers, i.e., contribution to transformation of Japanese-based professional education for non-native JL speakers, has been successfully found.
