In academic writing, it is important to develop not only Japanese language skills but also motivation, learning attitude, and self-regulation skills. This study investigated how the self-regulation skills of international graduate students develop through the experience of writing papers in Japanese for the first time. This study found three major results: (1) Students' friends outside their academic field were important support resources for their motivation, (2) the experience of losing a sense of competence led them to analyze their learning experience, and (3) the increase in knowledge and the experience of this obligatory passage point encouraged affective strategies and self-regulated learning.
