This study reports on a teaching practice in a beginner's class that transformed the mindset of a Japanese language teacher and shifted students from inductive learning to deductive learning. International students at our university take only 175 hours of Japanese classes during their enrollment, and just 50 hours are allocated to the "beginner level" class. Now that the number of international students who are looking for jobs in Japan is increasing at our university, the biggest challenges are how to encourage them to study Japanese autonomously and how to ensure to what extent they can acquire solid Japanese language skills within the limited time.
