Abstract
Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) for foreign workers in order to fully participate at work by using Japanese is mainly discussed in this presentation. Firstly, the research of learners’ tasks at work was necessary. The result of the research shows they have difficulties in making reports of their job. Secondly, the curriculum design of the course was based on the learners’ context. Through this process, achievement was definitely confirmed both in linguistic and non-linguistic outcomes. Non-linguistic ability includes meta-recognition towards their Japanese training. On the other hand, insufficient support from their workplaces and interactions with Japanese staff remain issues.
